Incredible work by @thebirdunion.bsky.social, which persevered through an incredibly dirty fight with Audubon's management to deliver the organization's first ever unionized contracts. As a former Audubon contributor, I'm very, very proud of them.
We are proud to announce that our membership voted UNANIMOUSLY to ratify a three-year contract, our union’s first!
More details to follow. We’re extremely grateful for all of the support you’ve shown us throughout the last 2.5 years of bargaining and escalations.

Audubon Society has rolled out superior benefits to non-union staff, in what many see as anti-union retaliation.

It has been really, deeply sad to watch the Audubon organization — which I’ve done work for in the past, and had some real respect for — go to such despicable lengths to stop its employees from unionizing. They could have decided to make a deal at any point. Instead they decided to go to war.
