One year ago today our shared workspace lost a lot of union jobs, ultimately including 4 of our colleagues and a member of our Bargaining Committee. We’re still here, and we’re still organizing for a fair contract that respects workers.
Today @actblue laid off 54 employees, 32 of which were in our bargaining unit. Layoffs unfairly punish union employees who are both not responsible for the current financial difficulties & have invested considerable effort into making @actblue what it is today

Hello @actblue Once again, DSA is asking you to listen to your workers:
We call on @actblue leadership to work with us as partners, and commit to freezing further layoffs for the 2024 election cycle before our next Union Town Hall on April 26. Our focus must be on supporting our users, not worrying about our job security.

@ActBlue your leadership team needs to commit to a layoff freeze for the rest of the 2023-2024 election cycle. It’s the absolute least you can do for your workers after everything you’ve put them through.

ActBlue has been a vital part of our digital fundraising program. We are disappointed in their current anti-union behavior. We stand in solidarity with @ActBlueUnion and urge @actblue leadership to commit to freezing further layoffs for the 2024 election cycle before 4/26.

We urge the Act Blue Leadership Team to freeze all layoffs, support the workers that made them successful, and exhaust all cost-saving possibilities rather than continuing with layoffs.

Self identified progressive orgs are still capable of betraying that label. We stand with the ActBlue Union and urge @actblue to live up to what it claims to be.

We stand with @ActBlueUnion workers, whose contributions to campaigns across the country help make it possible for progressive candidates to be elected. Progressive orgs have a responsibility to put our values into practice and do right by workers. Solidarity!

This morning, I wrote to @actblue executives to convey to them the impact these layoffs have on several of my constituents. I asked them to freeze any additional layoffs and to consider cuts to executive compensation to more fairly mitigate the impact of these layoffs.

ActBlue workers have played a vital role in securing progressive victories across the Commonwealth and country. I urge @actblue to work with @ActBlueUnion to find alternatives to laying off these Massachusetts workers.

As Democrats, we support workers everywhere. The team over at ActBlue has been critical to the success of our legislative races here in Arizona. We urge @actblue + the @ActBlueUnion to work to find a solution and explore all possible alternatives on the table.

Like many, @actblue was a critical tool to advance my campaign and our progressive vision & values - but it wasn't free. Service fees are fine, but not when companies make money based on values then put profits over people. I stand with @ActBlueUnion and hope you will too.

Workers at ActBlue have been an instrumental part of making big, structural change in campaigns across the country. I urge @ActBlue and @ActBlueUnion to reach a resolution that is fair and equitable for the workers.

Morning, Mass. ☀️ It took a few days, but the Democratic cavalry is coming to back @ActBlueUnion workers clashing w/the Somerville-based Dem fundraising giant over the company’s layoffs. Plus: — Bok triggers Boston council special elex #mapoli #bospoli politi.co/3KfOYD5

I stand firmly with @actblue workers & @ActBlueUnion against these layoffs, harmful to the employees AND the clients. I urge ActBlue to come to the table & explore all options before imposing additional harm.
The layoffs that ActBlue management just announced of our ActBlue Union friends are against our values, anti-labor, and weaken our ability to accomplish ActBlue's mission. 🧵

Workers at ActBlue have made important contributions to progressive campaigns, causes, and movements across the country. I urge @ActBlue and the @ActBlueUnion to explore all possible alternatives to laying off 54 employees, many of whom call the MA 7th home.

As a client of ActBlue, and a non-profit that consistently strives to be of service by putting the needs of our community ahead of executive profit, we are disappointed by @actblue decision to layoff staff.

We are in solidarity with @ActBlueUnion and are dismayed to hear of the recent layoffs—we see many similarities between @ActBlue management and @DailyKos management. 🧵
