New Member Alert: The Trevor Project Workers Win Voluntary Recognition
On April 14th, workers at The Trevor Project won voluntary recognition after an overwhelming majority signed cards saying union yes! The 300+ workers will be joining CWA Local 1180 who are passionate and dedicated to the organization and its goals of supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Throughout the organizing campaign, which went public in early March, the workers showed incredible solidarity to build support for their union by mobilizing online, meeting with elected officials, and engaging with the media, the communities they serve, and the broader public. The workers are looking forward to bargaining for a fair contract that will create a formal grievance structure and safeguards around layoffs, raise workers’ pay, and grant access to best-in-class healthcare, including gender-affirming services.
