Thrilled to announce we have a tentative agreement with management on our first contract! 👏 We can't wait to finalize this for our members and to share more with you all. Thanks @OPEIULocal12!!

After more than a year of organizing, we're excited to be heading to the bargaining table! Wish us luck on our first day of negotiations!

It's official! We're excited to announce that we've signed a formal agreement with @ILSR leadership recognizing our union. Read our joint statement here: ilsr.org/institute-for-…

UPDATE: We're thrilled to announce that the ILSR Staff Union has been recognized by management. A huge thank you to @johnffarrell and @stacyfmitchell for taking this step, and thanks to each and every one of you who has voiced support. You'll hear more from us soon!

“Every worker deserves a voice in their workplace; every worker deserves a union.” There are so many more we can't fit here. Thank you to everyone who has called on management to do the right thing and recognize us. If you haven't yet, now's your chance! actionnetwork.org/letters/formal…

“There is no greater test of resolve and integrity than having an organization which is dedicated to autonomy and self-determination recognize a union amongst its own staff. Please act expeditiously to support your staff and your stated mission.”

One week in, we're about to pass 200 (!!!) letters to management in support of our union. We are so grateful for your support! actionnetwork.org/letters/formal…

I'm inspired everyday by staff and leadership of @ilsr, whose work shows up every day in real ways for people across the nation. And I'd love to see @ILSRstaffunion succeed and unions like these to become the norm across our movement. actionnetwork.org/letters/formal…
