We are a group of New York Civil Liberties Union staff, exercising our legal right to organize a union.🗽 Views expressed here are not that of the NYCLU.
NEW: We’re excited to announce that @NYCLU has decided to voluntarily recognize our union with @nolsw2320! 🎉
This is an important first step - and we’re looking forward to working w/ NYCLU to build an equitable workplace.
Our statement:
This is the ninth ACLU affiliate union to be recognized, joining our colleagues in GA, KS (@ACLUKSUnited), MD, MA (@ACLULocal2320), MO, NC, Northern CA (@Nor_Cal_United), and Southern CA!
BIG NEWS🎉: This morning, we were notified that @BrennanCenter management has reached out to our reps @NOLSW2320 to begin the voluntary recognition agreement process! We are so excited to move forward and are really pleased by the quick response from the executive team.
‼️BREAKING‼️ Today we informed management that a supermajority of ACLU workers have formed a union, ACLU Staff United, with the Nonprofit Employees Professional Union.
We expect our union to be voluntarily recognized and look forward to beginning negotiations.
🚨THREAD/SOLIDARITY ASK🚨
1/ The Democracy Collaborative Workers’ Union is disappointed to share that we are currently in negotiations with management over discretionary layoffs impacting over one-third of our bargaining unit.
It’s been a long time coming, but we are so proud to have arrived at this important milestone. We are fired up and ready to bargain our first contract with @NILC! #1u

Happy Labor Day y’all. Unionize you’re workplace. #unionstrong#1u
🎉OGLETREE DEAKINS FIRED🎉
Today we learned @aclukansas has FIRED the anti-union firm to represent them! But the fight is not over! We STILL need union recognition!
Tell ED Nadine Johnson [email protected] this is a good step, but now it’s time to recognize! #1U
Any attempts to stop ACLU KS workers from forming a union is ridiculous and goes against the ACLU's mission of supporting labor rights.
Labor rights are civil rights. Solidarity with @ACLUKSUnited !
🤯THE ACLU IS TRYING TO BUST OUR UNION🤯
We need your help! We just learned that the @aclukansas has hired the second largest anti-union law firm in the nation, Ogletree Deakin, to represent them against our efforts to unionize.
We cannot wait to have our first bargaining session tomorrow! The J Street Workers Union was founded to uphold our values and create a more fair and equitable place to work. We look forward to a productive process✊#1u
We stand in solidarity with the comrades at the ILWU who are stopping work today at 29 ports in honor of #JUNETEENTH2020 to reject racism, hate, and intolerance. An injury to one is an injury to all. #UnionStrong
