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." 💡💯
Shout out to the @nytimes for highlighting @csunited22 and other non-profit unions like @unionincluded as they speak truth to power 📣!

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.

ALT red and white heading reads "Know your Weingarten rights" with a photo of a person holding a card that reads "“If this discussion, meeting or telephone call could in any way be related to my being disciplined or terminated or affect any of my working conditions, I exercise my federal rights and hereby request that my union representative or shop steward be present. Without their presence, I choose not to participate in this discussion or meeting” with the RWDSU logo.

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.

We see you non-profit colleagues who believe there is a balance between working toward a mission and supporting the workers that dedicate their career to the non-profit field! We stand with you!
