Climate change is wreaking havoc, we’re still in a global pandemic, but somehow the fight @TPINNetwork is choosing to take on is with its own employees…

[The Public Interest Union #Blue4TPIU @TPINunion]

The Public Interest Network's recent behavior, including the retaliatory discharge of union leaders, earned coverage in The Guardian.

We'll say it again: we shouldn't chase away staff who want to do the critical work of organizing for the public interest.

As an alumni of TPIN I think it’s well past time @TPINNetwork helps make the workplace one where people can thrive and stay for the long haul. I loved the work I did and wish that TPIN showed its love back to people like me.

BARGAINING UPDATE: @TPINNetwork is fighting to continue forcing staff share beds at trainings and other events #OnePersonOneBed. They rejected our most recent proposals to reform this out-of-touch policy.

[The Public Interest Union #Blue4TPIU @TPINunion]

Every worker deserves the support and protection of a union, ESPECIALLY canvass directors.

Here's the latest on our fight to make sure that happens.

[The Public Interest Union #Blue4TPIU @TPINunion]

We are employees of The Public Interest Network (TPIN) working together for more-than-living wages, an equitable social change movement, and a sustainable culture within our organization. That’s why we’ve filed for union recognition with @OPEIU to represent staff in all branches.

[MTC @matildatc23]

Unions are COOL and IMPORTANT. ✊ #Blue4TPIU

[Mr Manager 🇵🇸 @chieflybombast]

I worked for TPIN and I can hardly express how exciting and overdue this moment is. TPIN’s organizers and staffers do incredible work and they deserve a fair and living wage. THAT is how you build a lasting movement and don’t burn out promising young activists.

New Jersians have been fighting back against plastic pollution, which is clogging our waterways and killing our #wildlife. Today, our federal lawmakers will join us in the fight with the reintroduction of the #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act!

In huge climate win, Virginia becomes the first state in the South to adopt advanced clean car standards.

I get it @WholeFoods -- breakups can be tough. But it’s time to finally tell single-use #plastic packaging that “the planet is just super important to me right now.”
