Clean Water Guild

Union of Clean Water Action/Clean Water Fund employees. A unit of the NewsGuild-CWA. Together we are stronger!

[Clean Water Guild @CleanWaterUnion]

Fun fact: the Clean Water Action MN office was unionized for over 20 years before we joined their union in a tripartite agreement with @PacMediaGuild and @NewsGuildMN. Hear from veteran Shop Steward and lead contract negotiator @hijrodriguez on why he has supported this effort!

Happy MAY DAY!!! ✊🏽 We are still celebrating our union being Voluntarily Recognized and shouting from the rooftops why we’ve unionized!

Last week our union received Voluntary Recognition!!!! While we gear up to negotiate our contract, we want to uplift some of the reasons we are organizing!

Day 4 of our union drive ✊🏽!

Why a union for Clean Water Action employees? SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS!

We have a mighty field canvasses nationwide that knock doors and organize year round! The need:

➡️Environmental controls: i.e. mandatory rest periods when temps exceed 90 F!

[Clean Water Guild @CleanWaterUnion]

2/3
➡️Staffing levels: negotiated minimum staffing levels to ensure safe workloads, prevent burnout, and maintain standards.

[Clean Water Guild @CleanWaterUnion]

Day 3 of our Union Drive ✊🏽

What does a union get us?
➡️A real contract
➡️Just Cause protection-no more at-will firings
➡️Stability we can count on

This isn’t just about us. It’s about every worker who comes after us.

Unionized Workers often earn higher wages and have better benefits like employer matched 401k! Our coworkers knock doors, make calls, work at Capitols and in communities and deserve fair wages and benefits! Read about our campaign and sign our petition!!!

“I am organizing for a union at Clean Water Action because it is essential that we practice what we preach. Advocating for the power of the people, the importance of making our voices heard, starts in our own offices.”
