As someone who works in a zoo I have a genuine question: Where do we send the animals back to? The forest we destroyed? A country that’s been facing war for decades so you can have whatever device you’re looking at this on? It’s easier to blame zoos than change our behavior.

[The Bird Union 🪶 @thebirdunion]

As of September 1st, @audubonsociety has officially withheld more than one year’s worth of annual pay raises for members of the Bird Union. A conservative estimate for the total amount being pocketed is at least $840,000. This doesn’t count lost interest or 403(b) contributions.

[The Bird Union 🪶 @thebirdunion]

Meet the proud workers of @audubonsociety who are READY TO STRIKE!

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

Solidarity to @thebirdunion workers! We're with you all the way.

After 18+ hours of straight negotiations, Progressive Workers Union is very pleased to announce we have come to an agreement with Sierra Club to avert a strike. More details to come later today! #solidarity

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

We are fighting for pay equity as @benjealous tries to increase pay disparity between executives and workers.

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

There is just one day left for @SierraClub to meet our union's demands and avoid a strike.

Our members have organized pickets for tomorrow from 8-6 outside of Sierra Club offices in DC, LA and Oakland.

Please join us on the picket line and donate to our strike fund. 🧵

Unionized workers at leading environmental organization the Sierra Club have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a potential strike amid layoffs and allegations of financial mismanagement. https://t.co/2inqOtFm6Y

[Sergio Avila (he/him) @Sergio_concolor]

I voted to strike. We -@PWUnion1 workers at #SierraClub- are going for this. It was not a fast decision. It is one further tactic to reach an agreement since many (many) other efforts have failed, been ignored, rejected by the org’s leadership for over a year. Proud of @PWUnion1

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

We are ready to strike to defend existing protections in our contract, and to fight against anti-union retaliation.

This strike is primarily focused on non-economic issues, including our seven outstanding unfair labor practice charges and defending key provisions in our CBA.

Sierra Club union votes to authorize strike  https://t.co/CZhqT1AYCM

[Jes with Sierra Club @jessierraclub]

The just transition must be unionized.

Workers must be treated fairly and with respect.

When I say this I mean in my own house as well.

We cannot preach union support in our advocacy and also not resolve internal labor disputes.

We must live our values.

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

TAKE ACTION: Write to the @SierraClub Board of Directors telling them to act quickly to avert a strike, resolve outstanding labor violations and ensure a fair contract for their workers.

BREAKING: Sierra Club Staff Union votes to strike to counter union-busting.

Over 82% of eligible members voted to authorize a strike starting on July 2nd over ongoing unfair labor practice charges against @SierraClub and @BenJealous.

Stay tuned on how to support our union.

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

Here are some of the reasons that our members at the @SierraClub overwhelmingly supported a no confidence vote in @BenJealous and his Executive Team last month 😤😤😤

This is not "progressive leadership" - this is union busting and general mismanagement.

Sierra Club staff to board: Fire Ben Jealous https://t.co/Ula3IDlu62

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

@SierraClub @BenJealous The vote comes as the organization is actively laying off dozens of unionized staff, and immediately locking them out of their work computers/accounts in direct violation of our contract.

PWU has now filed nine unfair labor practices w/ the NLRB since @BenJealous took over.

[Progressive Workers Union @PWUnion1]

BREAKING: Unionized Sierra Club staff have overwhelmingly passed a vote of no confidence in @SierraClub Executive Director @BenJealous and his Executive Team. With 82.3% turnout, 91.2% of voters (300+ staff) voted no confidence as layoffs continue.
