We, the staff of ACCT, are excited to announce that WE ARE FORMING A UNION! In partnership with @OPEIULocal2, we are seeking a meaningful voice that impacts the important work we do as the voice of community college leadership.
A belated tweet since our union members were hard at work preparing for our National Legislative Summit when y’all announced: Congratulations and welcome to the union movement! #1u #unionstrong
Today, the Congressional Workers Union announces staff efforts to unionize the offices and committees of the United States Congress. Read our full statement here.
ALT CONGRESSIONAL WORKERS UNION ANNOUNCES ORGANIZING LAUNCH “After more than a year of organizing as a volunteer group of congressional staff, we are proud to publicly announce our efforts to unionize the personal offices and committees of Congress, in solidarity with our fellow workers across the United States and the world. While not all offices and committees face the same working conditions, we strongly believe that to better serve our constituents will require meaningful changes to improve retention, equity, diversity, and inclusion on Capitol Hill. That starts with having a voice in the workplace. We call on all congressional staff to join in the effort to unionize, and look forward to meeting management at the table.” To learn more, contact [email protected].
Congratulations to @BrookingsUnion and @UrbanInst_union! We hope that their management @BrookingsInst and @urbaninstitute recognize them! #1u #solidarity
🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

This morning @CCTrustees management declined to voluntarily recognize our union. We are deeply disappointed in their decision. Nevertheless, we are moving forward to an NLRB election to demonstrate what has been clear all along: that we have a majority of eligible staff support!
How do unions work at a nonprofit? Who's eligible, and how does bargaining work?
We've heard lots of questions, so we decided to provide some answers about our ACCT Staff Union and nonprofit unions in general! Check out our ACCT Staff Union FAQ here: docs.google.com/document/d/e…
