📌 Fact: the majority of PPFA national staff, as of last week, were non-union eligible.
📌 Fact: the majority of laid off staff this morning are either in the DC or NY unions.
More updates to come.
The staff leaving today are, without exception, outstanding, dedicated, and talented. They have had an enormous impact on this organization and on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of people nationwide. We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of them.
For the rest of my life I will be thinking about this HR person, who got a $99k bonus the day after more than a hundred of my coworkers got laid off, sending a signoff email talking about her "radical sabbatical"
What’s disgusting? Union busting! As we outlined in our letter to her, it is unconscionable that @RuthForHouse is undermining abortion workers at such an important regional provider. Solidarity forever with @PPNCSUnited! https://t.co/RyT6E8yzcj

Our hearts go out to all of the Planned Parenthood Keystone workers who no longer have a job. Apply for a bit of support from our Repro Worker Aid Fund: https://t.co/v6iQg3t0j7
We're calling on State Rep. and Planned Parenthood CEO Ruth Richardson to reverse extreme disciplinary actions and end intimidation and fear tactics directed at @PPNCSUnited leaders. Practice what you tweet, @RuthForHouse! #mnleg@ReproWorkers@seiu
Workers at 27 Planned Parenthood @PPPSWHealth centers across SoCal just filed for their election to join SEIU-UHW for the power to win better jobs & patient care. We look forward to welcoming these warriors for reproductive rights into our union in the near future! @pppswaction
Solidarity with @PPFAUnionDC and @PPFAUnionNYC today as @PPFA proceeds with mass layoffs, without explaining why it is staff who must bear the brunt of this restructuring. Repro workers— including the affiliate workers who are not being consulted on what they need — are watching
@clozillee @BethRader@PPFAUnionDC Here's the link if you need it, we appreciate people sharing! https://t.co/Jerth3HL7X We also have a small toolkit to help people interested in helping us fundraise here: https://t.co/QhWqtkfMx4
Last week, PPFA laid off 38 of our union members — in addition to members from @PPFAUnionDC — just days shy from the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Sending love & solidarity (always) to our repro family for working through what has been a REALLY tough year (years) — with extra love for those at affiliates and other repro orgs who, like us, also had to deal with union busting, a lack of job security, and layoffs💜
Right now, you have an opportunity + a responsibility to make this movement even stronger. In your community + your state, at your workplace, at the cookout — talk with your friends, family, colleagues & neighbors about joining the fight for reproductive rights. #BansOffOurBodies
We condemn PPFA’s lack of collaboration with its employees and their unions in navigating a major restructuring. We call on PPFA to urgently reassess these damaging layoffs.
When we talk about numbers, it is worth noting that PPFA stopped backfilling roles months ago — and without job security, a lot of union members (and others!) already left the org.
Teams aren't just losing a few people: many were already wildly understaffed before the layoffs.

You also can’t effectively support the affiliates without consulting the experts about how resources should be spent. That means the workers who actually make the affiliates run, not the management who try to bust our unions. They don’t know what workers or patients need, we do!
