Retaliation for trying to organize a union isn't just wrong, it's harmful. No one should have to choose between their health and standing up for their rights in the workplace. ✊

“Nothing about us without us” is more than just a slogan, it's a core value of the labor movement. Even good intentions don’t equal accountability. If it affects workers, workers deserve to have a say.

"...management learned of the unionization effort and fired me and two of my colleagues as soon as they learned we were organizing our work place."

The Trump admin just fired 220 crisis counselors, mostly women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ workers, right after they formed a union. This isn’t just union-busting, it’s discriminatory retaliation against frontline workers fighting for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ youth.
More than 220 CWA members were laid off last week as a direct result of the Trump administration’s decision to defund the 988 “Press 3” LGBTQ+ youth crisis line that provides specialized services to vulnerable youth at high risk for suicide.

And how much has the cost of living of gone up since then? Significantly – almost 50%.
The minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour for 16 years.

Imagine how fast it would be raised if Members of Congress were paid minimum wage.

Power exists, no matter the structure of your organization. And workers deserve to have a say in how it’s used. A union doesn’t break trust, it builds real accountability. But for close-knit teams, it can feel like a rupture.
