🚨BREAKING🚨 By a vote of 21-1, workers at the ACLU of Illinois have overwhelmingly voted to join @NOLSW2320, @UAW Local 2320!
This process began in June 2021. Now, we're eager to win our first union contract and bring @ACLUofIL's commitment to labor rights to our own workplace.
One day longer, one day stronger! @ACLUILUnited will be striking again today as @ACLUofIL continues to refuse our reasonable demands. We’ll be picketing from 12-1 at 150 N Michigan. Visitors and cheers of support are welcome! #unionstrong
Workers of the @ACLUStaffUnited and our allies are out here picketing until 1:30 to demand a fair contract now! Come say hi, or grab a sign and march with us!
📢Labor day news:📢 ACLU-IL Staff United will be striking starting at 8am tomorrow, in protest of @ACLUofIL management’s refusal to accept the NLRB’s settlement agreement. We are outraged at their refusal to pay us the wages the federal government agrees we are owed.
👀 Why indeed?
Follow us for more on our fight for a fair contract, reasonable wages, and holding management accountable to the values of the ACLU.
A reminder of why we’re picketing: our members haven’t had a raise since 2021, even while management has continued to get raises each year as usual. We demand fair wages now!
It’s a beautiful day to picket. We’re out here spreading the word that mgmt needs to give us a fair contract now!
Mgmt at @ACLUofIL has been found GUILTY of the unfair labor practice charge we filed regarding their refusal to give us annual pay raises since unionization in 2021. Even so, management has rejected NLRB’s proposed settlement, saying they did nothing wrong. Shameful!
Happening today at lunch! Join the members of the ACLU-IL in an informational picket as we call on leadership to give us the raises we’re entitled to and sign a fair contract.
These workers have struggled for four years for a contract and the management of the @ACLUILUnited should be ashamed--fair contract now for these workers!✊✊🎉
Chicago @UAW members and unionists writ large--see you tomorrow on the picket line!! #Solidarity
We're back at the bargaining table today, and our fight for a fair contract is as vital as ever. One of our biggest goals in unionizing: transparency!

Troubling! Hope they're found soon!
🚨🚨BxD Union needs your help!🚨🚨
🔎Can you help us find these missing @BronxDefenders executives?
🤔They’ve been absent from almost every bargaining session since March, slowing down negotiations.
🗓️We bargain again on Mon. 6/10. Check back in then to see who shows up!
ALT White text on a black background reads: "MISSING EXECS - Help us find the pictured executives missing from bargaining sessions." Beneath that text, there are headshots of BxD's executive management team, as well as white text on a red circle background that reads: "REWARD: GOOD-FAITH BARGAINING!" At the bottom of the image, white text on the black background reads: "CALL BXD'S UNION WITH ANY INFORMATION 1-800-CONTRACT-NOW"
In honor of bargaining day, here's a refresher thread on how ACLU-IL Staff United came to be, and what we've accomplished so far: (1/16)
ACLU-IL Staff United voted to unionize in July 2021. Management, instead of voluntarily recognizing us, fought us on fully half of the positions we wanted to include in the union, claiming they were "management positions." So, we went to the @NLRB (2/16)

Today is bargaining day! Later today, our intrepid bargaining unit will sit down with management to continue our push for a fair contract. We're sending our support and strength to them as they continue the fight!

🎉We're back!🎉 Despite our twitter absence, we've been busy offline fighting for our first contract. (Yes, still.) Updates incoming on what we've been up to - and what we have in store!
Congratulations and solidarity to the workers of @aclutx_united!
We hope @ACLUTx will live up to ACLU values and voluntarily recognize their union. Welcome to @NOLSW2320! #UnionStrong
🚨 We have an announcement 🚨
ALT A graphic with a pink cowboy hat logo that says ACLU of Texas Staff United. The graphic reads: Workers at @aclutx are unionizing! We’re proud to announce that we’re seeking voluntary recognition to form a union with NOLSW/UAW Local 2320. As one of the largest non-unionized ACLU affiliates, we look forward to joining the movement of nonprofit workers and laborers everywhere seeking to create sustainable and equitable workplaces. Labor organizing was fundamental to the ACLU of Texas’s formation in 1938. We seek to live out our values by creating the workplace we need to thrive and to confront — in solidarity — the extraordinary challenges of this moment in history.
Solidarity to our colleagues at @ACLUStaffUnited!
It's a big day for us! Our Bargaining Committee is having its first virtual sit-down with @NonprofitUnion and @ACLU Management to discuss the future of remote work at our organization. Excited to rep our members, and looking forward to a productive working relationship.
Good morning! We're live-tweeting from our @NLRB vote count, which just began. 🗳️🗳️🗳️
Our @NLRB vote count is this Friday morning! 🗳️🗳️🗳️
It's been months since we first asked the ACLU of Illinois to voluntarily recognize us (and instead got forced to a hearing and election). But we're excited to formally join @NOLSW2320 and @UAW this week! #1u #UnionStrong
.@ACLUofIL's counsel is trying to reserve their right to keep contesting the union members that management previously tried to exclude. The NLRB previously ruled that those exclusions were unlawful.
