We filed this charge a week ago, and MDRC has not responded. We demand that MDRC come back to the table immediately and make this right.

BREAKING: SPWU has filed our third unfair labor practice charge against @MDRC_News as a result of their bad faith bargaining over recent layoffs.

But this is not just an unfair labor practice - it is an inexplicable act of cruelty during an already tremendously difficult moment. MDRC laid off staff and then lied to their faces.

[Social Policy Workers United, Union of MDRC Staff @SPWorkersUnited]

With this new contract, we transform MDRC’s workplace with.... better pay + transparent compensation, just cause, flexible full-time schedules, hybrid work policies, clear grievance and arbitration processes for contract violations.... and much more!

From the day SPWU became official more than 3 years ago, our organizing has always been driven by a desire to make MDRC a more equitable and transparent workplace.

Back at the bargaining table today with MDRC Management! We're ready to settle this fair contract, securing solid pay for our members.

The ball is back in MDRC Management's court. We last presented a proposal on compensation at the end of May. We're looking forward to receiving a counter from Management.

After nearly two years of bargaining, MDRC Management decided to withhold year-end wage increases to member of @SPWorkersUnited, while implementing them to employees outside the bargaining unit, presumably to pressure the union.
