We, the workers of @IPS_dc — the nation’s oldest multi-issue progressive think tank — have unanimously formed a union with @WBNG32035 ✊
We are ecstatic to have received swift, voluntary recognition from management.
IPS Workers United stands in solidarity with the @SPLCUnion. We support their demand to reinstate all of the workers who were unjustly dismissed in this blatant attack against the union and worker organizing.

2/ @SPLCUnion is calling for Huang’s removal, the reversal of the layoffs, and a call to involve the union in the hiring of a new CEO. The union also started a public petition to rally support for their demands.

📢 @SPLCUnion workers have spoken out with a resounding 90% vote of no confidence in @splcenter CEO Margaret Huang after recent layoffs of 25% of the organization's staff, which they argue were aimed at busting the union and have devastated lives.

"Even as the company sent out emails following the 2020 racial reckoning and implemented diversity and inclusion trainings, it continued to pay people of color and women less than their white and male colleagues, the unions say." @TribPub@mcallguild

So proud that @IPS_union is one of them!
