Audubon interim CEO @DrElizabethGray says management will “stay neutral” while staff decides whether or not to unionize.
1. A majority of workers already voted to form the #AudubonUnion but management won’t recognize us 🙃
2. Union busters Littler Mendelson are still here...🤔

@supportkind excessively compensates its executives while it underpays and exploits its workers.
@supportkind spends money hiring expensive union-busting attorneys to fight its staff.
@supportKIND stalls negotiations & undermine their employee’s protected right to unionize.

If you aren’t pro-union, it’s pretty hard to argue you are progressive.
If you skirt your responsibilities as an employer, it’s pretty hard to label your business or publication as progressive

In our search for immigrants rights, worker rights are just as valid & necessary to help us continue the important labor that we do as RAICES - especially - now, at such a crucial moment in history.

So here’s the thing:
Forming a union allows workers to collectively bargain & achieve a legally binding contract.
It also protects us from disrespectful & outright wrong behavior from management.

We are also “At Will” employees, meaning any of us on staff can be fired - at any time - for non-discriminatory reasons, with no explanation, rights, or recourse.
We’ve seen it happen. Many times.

Currently, staff members - most of whom are women and people of color - do NOT have a formal seat at the table at RAICES when it comes to salary negotiations (or transparency), benefits or workplace policies.

And while putting our own well-being on the line for our work and the people we serve can be seen as noble & “part of the job”....@RAICESTEXAS is ultimately our workplace.
And as such, we deserve protections.
