The workers at @LawyersComm deserve a fair and equitable contract! Tell @LawyersComm and @DamonTHewitt to return to the bargaining table and sign a contract NOW! #unitedforafaircontract #solidarityforgood #unionstrong #1u #TheFutureWeDeserve

But the fight is not over yet. We will continue to push for a fair contract and a timely resolution to this bargaining process. Your continued support is crucial as we enter this last phase of bargaining. We deserve a fair and equitable CBA, now! #unionstrong #1u

Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts at pressuring Management over these past few weeks! Thanks to your support, we are happy to report that Management has come back to the bargaining table with a substantive counter. #unitedforafaircontract #solidarityforgood

The delays by @LawyersComm are robbing our members of CBA protections we have fought for since 2020. We deserve a fair contract, now! #1u #UnionStrong

Since bargaining started in 2021, we’ve reached tentative agreements on almost everything but salary, which itself has been on the table since late ‘22.

We demand @LawyersComm return to bargaining after 3+ months of untenable delays
