I am proud to be a part of the unionizing efforts at SHoP. Real industry change happens through public perception, collective bargaining, union density, and political action. nytimes.com/2021/12/21/busin… #arch_workers_u #unionizearchitects @arch_workers_u @nytimes

I am proud to stand with the employees of Snøhetta in their effort to organize a union that will both bring relief to their work and create more opportunities in the future of the field.

On behalf of the Snøhetta Union, Architectural Workers United is proud to offer this statement from the workers themselves ✊
"We, the employees of Snøhetta’s U.S. studios, have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board for a union election.

Couldn’t be more proud of this group!!! ✊✊
If they succeed, Snøhetta would become only the second private firm to unionize in almost a century trib.al/xYI63u6

"We all like architecture and want to be architects, so we would like that to be possible."
Amazing look inside the only private sector union of architectural workers in the U.S.

I think this captures really well what a lot of people misunderstand about labor organizing.
People don’t unionize because they hate their jobs and want to get out of them. They unionize because they find value in their work and want to do it well, to do it safely & sustainably.

The best course I couldn’t take (because it was postponed) was called “copy-paste” by Amy Kulper. It’s the ideas of open source design and my main fear of AI. Not that it could be sentient, but what it can source. What is could - without limits - do.

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

The Architecture Lobby stands in solidarity with the architecture faculty and their colleagues on strike at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Workers at UIC, and all architecture schools, deserve a fair minimum salary and to receive early notice of reappointment.
If we turned democracy into a religion, how would you finish this sentence: “the power of _______ compels you!”
Can all the laid off twitter employees band together and create a new twitter… please? #canceltwitter
Thank you so much @AIALosAngeles for inviting us to speak today about @arch_workers_u!!! We weren’t able to share all our thoughts due to time constraints, so I’ll share a few other thoughts here! Please feel free to reach out on any of our social media for more info
A union can address these issues through the ability to agree on policies related to wages, hours, and working conditions with your employer in the form of a contract. Where these standards can be raised and renegotiated over time.
