She has served as secretary-trea- surer since 2001. Schu was recognized by the international union with multi- ple awards, including the 2008 Henderson B. Douglas Memo- rial Award, OPEIU’s highest or- ganizing award. “Cindy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and is respected throughout OPEIU and the labor movement for her many organizing accomplish- ments and knowledge of inno- vative and creative approaches to reaching working people,” said OPEIU President Richard Lanigan. “I’m thrilled at this opportu- nity to help build and enhance OPEIU’s organizing programs that will continue to impact the lives of working people across the country,” Schu said.

The songs “tell the stories of the journeys, struggles, and acts of solidarity of working people around the world,” McKenna writes on his web site. McKenna has written 300 labor and political songs, mostly parodies or “borrowed tunes,” over the past 35 years. This is his first CD. “Come Join Us in a Union Song” can be purchased for $24.99.
