Know your rights!

Now that we have been officially recognized as a union we have Weingarten Rights. Weingarten Rights guarantee union members the right to union representation during an investigatory interview.

We won our union!!!

Today our union has been officially voluntarily recognized through a formal card check process. Winning our union means we can now strengthen our collective power to influence decisions impacting working conditions and more.

Congrats y’all!!!

Cuts to higher education research funding threatens the gains made by working people like Amanda Dykema, an @afscmemd.org member & University of MD proposal development manager who joined union leaders, activists & allies on the Hill today to send a unified message to the White House: #KilltheCuts!

You can still go to your manager/supervisor for your needs! But a union is there to support YOU for anything else. 😌🦋

It’s time for some union facts! A lot of misinformation is spread about unionizing in your workplace, so we wanna make sure that we’re clear with our message.

✅ You CAN talk about our union with coworkers, the same way we talk about movies, tv shows, or whatever else we casually bring up at work!

The @cwuafscme.bsky.social union victories continue! ICYMI, workers at the Science Museum of Minnesota made HISTORY winning their first-ever contract. After 550 days of fighting, the 3-year contract includes meaningful wage increases, new parental leave benefits & more.

We believe that the power of decision making must be shared with all voices, including ours, across various departments and diverse roles within the institution!

Oh no, everyone’s getting fired from the museum for organizing a union!! 😰😥😓

APRIL FOOLS. 🤪 Your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for organizing a union for your workplace!!

So what’s next for our union? We’ve received communication from management and are in conversation. We’re happy that they have initiated cooperative dialogue with our union!
