Exciting news!! After 13 months of being public and 9 months at the bargaining table, our union voted to ratify our first contract today! 🥳
Here are some highlights:
Voluntary 👏 recognition 👏
Hope @Starbucks and other food service companies take note. Unions are here to stay and make for stronger, sweeter workplaces 🍨
Today Ben&Jerrys voluntarily recognized the Scoopers United union following an overwhelmingly supportive card check officiated by VT State Rep, Kate Logan. We look forward to a sweet and collaborative future and want to thank all the incredible people who got us to this point.
Such a loss for the DC community—and during AANHPI Heritage Month. Solidarity with the workers at Moon Rabbit and the InterContinental as they remain strong in the fight for better working conditions with a union
“They are committed to seeing the union come in at the InterContinental, and they will not be bullied or dissuaded from that by any group of developers, no matter how powerful,” Schwalb said. “They will see this fight through to the end.”
Nearly 20,000 writers could go on strike as soon as midnight tonight, and shut down Hollywood.
Here’s what’s happening, and how you can pressure Hollywood executives to pay writers.
Thread.
Solidarity with the incredible writers and members of the @WGAWest and @WGAEast ✊ make no mistake, these individuals are essential to the entertainment industry and they deserve livable and thrivable wages for their work
The Board of Directors of the @WGAwest and the Council of the @WGAeast, acting upon the authority granted to them by their memberships, have voted unanimously to call a strike, effective 12:01 AM, Tuesday, May 2.
@MorePerfectUS calls this move "a shadowy national effort funded by big corporations and PACs to roll back child labor laws that have been in place since the 1930s." Solidarity with those on the ground in Iowa pushing back against this bill driven by corporate greed and power.
As Iowa moves to pass a child labor law, it is unsurprising who is behind the bill--corporate lobbyists. We know that strong labor laws and corporate money in politics are issues that go hand in hand, and we recommit to out fight to protect democracy in the workplace and America.
Now the bill moves to the Iowa House.
We recently investigated this bill, and uncovered that it began in the office of Gov. Kim Reynolds and was written by top corporate lobbyists led by the restaurant association.
ACLU-D.C. prioritizes justice, equity, and inclusion in its work and, as the workers of this organization, we believe it should maintain those priorities in its self-governance.
So today, we told management that ACLU-D.C. workers have formed a union with @WBNG32035.
Solidarity to the workers of Solid State Books! Now that our contract is done and we have more free time on our hands, we just may need to stop in for a new book🤓
BREAKING: The staff of Solid State Books are unionizing! ✊
This would be the second bookstore to unionize in DC after @PolProseUnion organized last year!

Thank you to everyone who supported us and cheered us on as we got to this point! We are proud @wbng32035 members and look forward to having a democratic workplace as we continue the fight to protect American democracy 💪

🏫 We added a new benefit—a student loan assistance program 🏫
💻 We codified 3 days of remote work per week with additional flexibility for fully remote weeks throughout the year 💻
100% of @SenMarkey staffers have come forward and requested voluntary recognition. Once recognized, this Office will be the first ever unionized United States Senate office!
We are the NRDC Union!
We are staff working to build an organization that treats workers with dignity and respect, listens to our concerns, and makes it easier for all of us to safeguard the planet and its people.
