MINNEAPOLIS - Canvass workers at Sisters Camelot, a non-profit mobile food shelf and soup kitchen, are on strike after the organization’s managing collective refused to negotiate with the canvass union.

Supporters have organized a strike fund to aid the workers.

The workers went public as members of the Industrial Workers of the World after months of organizing among the workers in response to changes in the workplace, which they said resulted in a decline in conditions and mismanagement of the worker’s time and the organization’s resources.

The strike began March 1 when the managing collective announced that they were unwilling to negotiate on any demands. The workers are now prepared to continue the strike by refusing to canvass door-to-door or conduct fundraising efforts until the collective comes back to the table ready to meet the workers’ demands.
