Our longest yeah boy ever: Nearly 400 of us have pledged to STOP WORK when our bargaining committee calls for a 24 hour walk out. RT to tell @CondeNast you stand with workers: stop breaking the law, stop union busting, and stop the layoffs. Keep your eyes here for more soon.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY I cried a lot of happy tears when the @NLRB called me and informed me they found merit in the charges that @Defenders fired me illegally/retaliated against me for organizing a union, which they STILL deny, much like trump denies he lost..podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

We stand in solidarity with @IFESUnion. We've been exactly where you are, and the NLRB came out in our favor. It is never ok for a CEO to act this way.
Unfortunately, we had to file another unfair labor practice charge against @IFES1987 because @TonyBanbury “interfered with, constrained, [and/or] coerced” an employee by referring her for discipline for exercising her right to concerted activity. (1/)

Congrats to our amazing coworkers in the @NYTimesGuild who won a historic contract! We are so proud! #1u
After more than two years of negotiations, we can finally say it: @NYTimesGuild and @nytimes have reached a tentative agreement on a groundbreaking new collective bargaining agreement.

👏TY Jeremy Saunders, @VOCALNewYork Co-Exec Director, for voluntarily recognizing your staff union and sharing this insight: "“We need to get it out of our heads that when staff want to unionize, it is a sign that we aren’t good employers, that we’ve done something wrong." 💡💯

We had no warning about layoffs before our colleagues were locked out of their email and told their positions had been terminated. @Defenders CEO refused to bargain over the decision. Find our full press release here. defendersunited.weebly.com/u… @OPEIULocal2 @OPEIU #unionstrong

EEOC updated its guidance on COVID-19 accommodations following the end of the public health emergency. Agency warns it “does not mean employers can automatically terminate reasonable accommodations that were provided due to pandemic-related circumstances” eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-shoul…

The boss HATES this *timeless* union workplace trend: invoking your #WeingartenRights! When called into a meeting that could in any way lead to you being disciplined or terminated, unionized workers have the right to ask a shop steward or union rep to join them.

We can confirm, nonprofit professionals need unions.
Replying to @KT_Barrows
There’s also a lot of room for growth in professional union membership- over 6 million are union members, while the professional workforce is about 60 million. Also, professionals in all sectors and industries NEED unions. Many folks struggle to make ends meet even w/a degree.

Hey @SEIU, it’s time to LIVE YOUR VALUES! We expect to have to fight back against #GreedyCEOs who want to stop us from winning #UnionsForAll. We shouldn’t have to continuously fight for @MaryKayHenry and @aprildverrett to practice what they preach.

“8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what we will” was the slogan of the Haymarket Martyrs, who were killed while on strike in May, 1886. On #InternationalWorkersDay & everyday, we carry their strength with us in our fight for economic justice.

Working people across the world are gathering today to celebrate all we’ve won and to commemorate the struggles that came before us. #MayDay also serves as a reminder of all we have left to win—and that the path to get there runs directly through our nation’s union halls. ✊ #1u

Let me say it louder for the people in the back: the right to organize and bargain collectively is essential to democracy. It IS democracy!
