   Martin Luther King, Jr. fought for workers' rights and unions as part   
   of the struggle for civil rights. MLK famously declared, "The labor   
   movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair   
   into hope and progress." Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis while   
   supporting sanitation workers in their union efforts.   
      
   Recently, a LUMEN / CenturyLink email informed all staff that as of   
   2021, MLK Day would be a US company paid holiday for the first time in   
   the company's history. Yet, union workers were not given the new paid   
   holiday, even after members asked for it. Union workers were told they   
   could bring up the holiday at their next contract expiration, as far   
   away as 2023.
