Brookings United

We are thrilled to announce that we have been voluntarily recognized by @BrookingsInst! We are grateful for the solidarity from our colleagues over the past three years, and look forward to bargaining a fair and equitable contract with Brookings management in the coming months.

BREAKING: We’ve ratified a new contract! This victory strengthens pay, improves working conditions, and reaffirms CAP’s commitment to a fair, inclusive workplace. We’re proud to stand with our fellow workers—fighting for dignity, rights, and power on the job.

✊We are bargaining for a new contract✊ Yesterday, our negotiating team and NPEU friends held the first bargaining meeting with @amprog executive team. We look forward to updating you all on our progress.

NPEU remains committed to defending the rights of nonprofit employees and ensuring that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. We look forward to finishing a first contract for all of @ACLUStaffUnited!

The @NLRB has ruled that the @ACLU illegally fired staff member, Kate Oh. This ruling is a significant victory for workers' rights & reinforces the importance of protecting employees who stand up for their rights in the workplace. Read our statement here: npeu.org/news/2024/8/8/…

Labor Day: brought to you by unions.

A top Chamber of Commerce official told me that unions are a relic of the 1930s. But workers—particularly young workers—disagree, whether they're at Starbucks, Amazon, Trader Joe's or Apple. If unions are a relic, young Americans didn’t get the message. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

Tomorrow, we are back at the bargaining table with management. In negotiating our next contract, our members are united to meet the evolving needs of EPI and raise standards to support our important work. 1/
