One of the beautiful things about organized labor is that non-profit bosses can’t do their usual dance of using social justice language to obfuscate their bullshit. The song goes “which side are you on?” because a union fight is incredibly straightforward. We side with workers ✊

Rest in Power Lois Curtis. She was the L.C. in Olmstead v L.C. Lois took the fight for people with disabilities to live in the community all the way to the Supreme Court. Her victory helped create the rights we enjoy today.

This is exactly it. Alexia says it better than I ever could. This is my favorite job I’ve ever had and a union will only make it stronger.
DRO does incredible work, and we're proud to be part of the disability rights movement. But we need to make sure we're upholding those values at our own workplace.

One of the most powerful pieces of paper I own Happy #LaborDay weekend to union members, those working to organize their workplaces right now including @CMAWorkersUnion @wexworkerunion, @DroUnited, @GHPL_United, and all those workers that came before and fought for labor rights

Support Labor on Labor Day weekend: Saturday, join our @SBWorkersUnited Union family at their Solidarity Sip-In as they fight for a first contract. Sunday, join us as we team up with @maroonartsgroup to thank our community for standing with us during our historic strike!

The humans of @DroUnited are some of the most compassionate and dedicated humans I have ever met. Disability civil rights work is hard, exhausting, and traumatizing at times. DRO does a disservice to clients by losing talented dedicated folks who simply can’t afford the work .
We want to make sure we're supported fully by DRO leadership, so we're organizing around a living wage, equitable pay structures, and financial transparency.

Great news from @DroUnited—they’ve decided to unionize. I’m proud to see these Ohioans banding together to advocate for themselves and have a voice on the job. I hope DRO does the right thing and recognizes their workers’ right to organize.
We are excited to announce that @DisabilityRtsOH staff is forming a union with @OPEIU Local 792! This morning, DRO United, representing an overwhelming majority of staff, requested voluntary recognition by Executive Director Kerstin Sjoberg. Learn more below:

There were TWO new Unions born in Columbus today and CEA is here to support them! President John Coneglio stood with @CMAWorkersUnion as they rallied and requested recognition and signed a letter supporting @DroUnited as they did the same. Columbus is a Union town! #Solidarity
