This Labor Day is the second ACLU-DC workers have had without a fair contract, and we're determined to make it the last! #unionrightsarecivilrights

We’re back! Union leaders at ACLU-DC were rightfully reinstated at work yesterday! Your solidarity—likes, comments, calls, emails, encouragement—made all the difference. Together, we made our message loud and clear: union rights are civil rights! Onward to our first contract.

🚨ACLU-DC exec. dir. Monica Hopkins has forced TWO union leaders – and the unions only stewards – on leave and is investigating them on bogus retaliatory charges.

Even as we celebrate this win, our bargaining chair is still on administrative leave pending an “investigation.” Attempting to fire a successful employee in retaliation for union activity is unacceptable. So keep up the momentum! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Your solidarity has already made a huge difference! Thanks to emails supporters sent, our union finally won fair salary increases for all union members.

But …

It makes no sense to challenge the Trump Administration for retaliating against federal workers, just to turn around and retaliate against union members who are working hard to fulfill the organization’s mission.

There is no room for intimidation and retaliation against union members in a civil rights and civil liberties organization.

Say it loud and say it proud: union rights are civil rights! And stay tuned for more ways to show your solidarity.

ACLU-D.C. staff need a fair COLA, a contract, and our bargaining chair back at work– not intimidation and retaliation for asserting our union rights.

We showed up to bargain, but where was Monica?

Union-busting alert: Two hours after this union action, ACLU-D.C. executive director Monica Hopkins put our bargaining chair on forced leave and cancelled bargaining.
