Civis Seven // Pass The PRO Act

We are seven tech workers fired by @danrwagner for organizing at @civisanalytics- a Democratic data firm out of Obama '12 funded by @ericschmidt

[Civis Seven // Pass The PRO Act @CivisSeven]

We put out a statement about our firing and our case with @twcnewsletter. Read it in full here https://t.co/VvsY55XnAq

Last October, liberal Civis Analytics fired 11 workers. They were given no rationale -- but they were all known for being workplace activists. They believe they were fired for speaking out: https://t.co/3QWgb3DM4h

Absolutely THRILLED to see this new union that one of the 7 helped organize! Nothing better than workers winning a democratic say at work!

Still wonder what @CivisAnalytics could have looked like with a union but @danrwagner firing us only spread the organizing power around! ✊

Congratulations to catalist workers! Hope to see lots of other progressive orgs follow this example

[Catalist_US @Catalist_US]

We’re excited to share that Catalist has reached a tentative agreement on a first contract with the @CatalistUnion. We’re proud to be the first progressive data and analytics firm with a staff union. Read our joint statement here. https://t.co/b3XXhL24Dp

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Pelosi just said she'd support Hill staffers unionizing "if and when" staff want it. (But she has to pass a House resolution to even allow it.)

Are you a Capitol Hill staffer trying to unionize your office? Has your office warned you against it? Heard of any efforts? DM me!

[Civis Seven // Pass The PRO Act @CivisSeven]

Oh hey that's us @CivisAnalytics !

"The fracas underscores that Democratic organizations risk facing accusations of hypocrisy if they oppose their employees' collective-bargaining efforts."

[Insider Politics @insiderpolitics]

Not every union effort goes smoothly.

In April, @NYMag reported that the Democratic data firm Civis Analytics fired 11 employees, who alleged the company unfairly retaliated against them for speaking up about workplace issues.

we love to see it

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

🙌Today employees at the @dccc announced that they have secured majority support in their effort to organize as members of #Teamsters Local 238. The DCCC Staff Union would be the largest collective bargaining unit in the Democratic Party: https://t.co/MkFzHVoWo2 #1u

💯. Solidarity with REI workers asking for a say in their workplace.

Lots of companies are very open-minded until their workers come up with an idea of their own. https://t.co/jkFYfMUdsb

Sounds familiar

[Civis Seven // Pass The PRO Act @CivisSeven]

@mattBernius Thanks for the kind words! The @CfAWorkers union recognition is coming at just about our one year fireversary and we couldn't have asked for a better present!

[matt bernius @mattBernius]

If you don't know who the @CivisSeven are, and how they laid the foundation for the civic tech labor movement, today's a good day to find out: https://t.co/4jrUqmpZIx

[matt bernius @mattBernius]

@sunnyorganizes @CfAWorkers @codeforamerica ❤️

Your work has been an inspiration to us (and it helped lay the foundation for this success)!

[Civis Seven // Pass The PRO Act @CivisSeven]

Congrats to @CfAWorkers! This is such an amazing win for civic tech workers. Can't wait to see others follow this lead.

[CFA Workers United @CfAWorkers]

🎉 We won our union! 🎉 75% of eligible employees signed cards in support. We believe our union will support the ongoing work of making @codeforamerica a more welcoming, equitable, and inclusive space where all employees can bring their full selves to work each and every day.

[IBEW Political & Nonprofit Workers @IBEWPNW]

So often as students and young workers we are underpaid, overworked and exploited by bosses who target us because they know they can treat us poorly. Campaigns, nonprofits and internships are some of the worst offenders.

Enough is enough. Pass the Pro Act.

Rewatching gilmore girls and Luke Danes is anti wage theft too #proworker

At least one of us has a plant based diet and all seven of us support labor rights. Get this story some publicity!
