🎉 It's official! 🎉
With 90% of staff voting in favor, WE WON OUR UNION ELECTION TODAY!
We'll be taking some time to celebrate, reflect, and refuel, but we'll be back in a few short weeks as our staff bargain for higher wages, transparency & better working conditions!

Today, a supermajority of @Defenders staff announced the formation of our union, #DefendersUnited. We want to work with management to create a stronger, more equitable, and more effective organization. Unfortunately, @JClarkPrez took only 3 hours to reject our request outright.

"Ninety-two percent of domestic workers are women, and more than half are women of color. The typical domestic worker is paid just $12 per hour." #FightFor15 commondreams.org/views/2021/…

"The National Labor Relations Act ... said what we should encourage unions..."
and "there should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda [from employers]."
We couldn't agree more. We stand with:
@BAmazonUnion
@AlabamaAFLCIO
@RWDSU
Today, we officially elected our colleagues to serve as our bargaining committee and shop steward representatives. What an incredible day to be union members 🥰

90% of employees at DC SAFE, a domestic violence crisis intervention center, voted YES on their union. They’re joining @OPEIULocal2 and OPEIU’s Nonprofit Employees United. This was a hard-caught victory!

When a boss forces a representation hearing, it means they want to argue that some workers don’t have the right unionize.
It’s union busting, plain and simple.
Shame on @LoriTFreeman! Time to recognize ALL her workers right to join @NacchoUnion!! #UnionStrong
📢 breaking news 📢 NACCHO CEO @LoriTFreeman is trying her hardest to bust our union! Today, we're headed to a hearing at the Trump NLRB where NACCHO management is trying to exclude nearly 60% of eligible staff from our union. Yeah, you read that right! More →
Sending big love to our friends over at @NacchoUnion 💪 Watching nonprofit leaders like @LoriTFreeman show their true colors is so incredibly disappointing, especially when NACCHO staff SHOULD be spending all their time supporting local health depts in...a pandemic. Yikes, Lori!

"Advocates are incredibly compassionate people who made the decision to dedicate their careers to serving others. I wholeheartedly support unionization, as a union will ensure that there is someone to advocate for them."

While visions of a unionized workplace danced in their heads! #1u #solidarity #union #MerryChristmas
"A union will make it easier to ensure that everyone's voices are at the table and ultimately, by fostering the collective power of staff, further support the care of survivors in DC." Thanks for standing w us Kate!

"Security of position without the support of a union is an expression of privilege—a privilege that should be examined and questioned." So true—unions help staff check privilege and combat racism in the workplace 💪

📣DC SAFE Union update📣
We're anxiously awaiting the results of our Nov. 23 hearing at the NLRB, where management made the case that more than a third of us should be excluded from the union. We are ready and can't wait to show our overwhelming support in our upcoming election!
What an exciting past few weeks it's been! We're so lucky to help incredible staff in making their workplaces more democratic ✊💥
Support these incredible groups in winning their unions/first contracts! @AcctStaffUnion @NacchoUnion @EMILYsUnion @UnionDCSAFE @APALAstaffunion
"Self-determination is a core value of DC SAFE's innovative and responsive work serving survivors of domestic violence. In order to hold true to the ideal, self-determination must be meaningfully upheld across the organization, both internally and externally." Thank you Paige ✊

TFW you organize for months (during a pandemic and a historic election cycle), and you finally file for voluntary recognition 👀 #WeAreEMILYsUnion
