Congratulations!

[MN NewsGuild @NewsGuildMN]

Exciting news from MN Guild members @UnionBeacon. Ratifying a first union contract rocks!

[BeaconUnion @UnionBeacon]

Our wins include: a minimum salary commensurate with affordability for a 2-bedroom Mpls apt, significantly higher employer contributions to healthcare for dependents, an FMLA leave benefit, and structured, ongoing collaboration btw management and staff.

[BeaconUnion @UnionBeacon]

Today, our members voted unanimously to approve our first ever union contract at Beacon. We are so grateful to everyone who made this day possible. By using our collective power and voice we have accomplished so much.

We are the people who make @CondeNast valuable, and it’s time we were treated as such. Find out more about our union organizing at https://t.co/uDzbIfra2H

Solidarity from Beacon Union to @MFT59 Minneapolis teachers, striking for livable wages and resourced schools! As housing advocates we know ppl can't afford homes on $24k a year, and stable homes are essential for stable kids, learning and families! #MFT4kids #safeandstableMPS

“...we still want that seat at the table, not only for workers’ benefits but also in terms of the direction of the organization…”

Beacon union members came together because of our deep care and respect for our organization and collective work.

Congrats on your union! @LSPnow and @LSAFnow are lucky to have workers so committed to the work.

Workers at the @LSPnow & @LSAFnow are excited to announce that we are unionized through @OPEIULocal12! On Saturday, the LSP & LSAF Boards unanimously voted to affirm our right to unionize & provide voluntary recognition. Follow & RT to support us as we fight for a new contract.

That’s what we’re here for!

#HappyLaborDay

[CWA @CWAUnion]

This Labor Day, remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity at work. You deserve good pay and benefits. You deserve a union.

[Dave Kamper 🌹 @dskamper]

Important: good faith negotiations aren’t always simple or easy. Good faith means the employer is honest, doesn’t play games, and is genuinely interested in a deal. There still can be a lot to work through. That’s ok!

[BeaconUnion @UnionBeacon]

Today we celebrate in solidarity and with gratitude for the labor movement! Proud to be a part of the @NewsGuildMN and among many MN nonprofits collecting worker power for change.

[BeaconUnion @UnionBeacon]

Happy Labor Day! Thanks for being our community and supporting Beacon Union staff. As we move through our first contract negotiations we have so many examples to draw from because we are one of many organizing the rights of workers.

[BeaconUnion @UnionBeacon]

Congrats on building worker power and forming your union @CtulUnion! Glad to be a part of the @NewsGuildMN with you. #UnionStrong

[CTUL Staff Union @CtulUnion]

We, the staff of CTUL, have formed a union.
