C.I.S. Workers United

So, who are CIS Workers United? CIS Workers United is a group of dedicated disability care workers, working together to improve conditions at CIS. We have been organizing together for nearly two years.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us these past three years 💚 Special thanks to @organizeworkers for being with us since the beginning 🫶

We are officially unionized with AFSCME local 1739. We look forward to bargaining a contract for better working conditions and a more sustainable workplace!

After a long journey, the employees of Community Integrated Services are proud and excited to announce that we have won our union election!

Why is our employer trying to Union-bust us and stop workers at Community Integrated Services from having the union that we want and deserve? It's because UNIONS WORK!

This week our employer has been trying union-bust and convince our coworkers that they don't need a union. Now it's time for us to tell our side of the story. This is what we can achieve with a union! Why Unionize?

With our union, we will fight for a contract that secures fair schedules for all workers! #1u #CareIsEssential #AFSCMELocal1739

We can only provide the best care to the disabled people we serve with secure schedules that give us fair hours and enough time to give our participants the well-prepared and individualized support they deserve.

As we announced yesterday, workers at Community Integrated Services in Philadelphia are unionizing. Now it's time to tell you why! Reason #1: Secure Scheduling

We're proud to announce that today workers at Community Integrated Services in Philadelphia filed to Unionize with AFSCME Local 1739! Together we will win better pay, fair scheduling, and better care for the people we serve! This year the best Valentine is a Union card! 💝

Organizing in solidarity with your coworkers ensures these protections.

We are stronger together. Working together as a group grants you specific legal protections. When engaging in protected concerted activity, your management legally cannot retaliate.

Solidarity is a huge part of organizing, but what exactly is solidarity?

When you and your coworkers stand together for change, you can protect each other, and take collective action!

Employers legally cannot retaliate when workers organize together to address wages and working conditions.

Why organize? Because organizing protects workers!
