Hello new users! We’re the union for the hardworking folks at the National Audubon Society.

What is your favorite bird?

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.

NEWS: After more than 2.5 years of bargaining and mounting a nationwide strike threat, we have come to a tentative agreement with Audubon management. The 3 year deal is a direct result of the dedication and hard work of our membership. We will proceed with a ratification vote.

The staff union for Audubon workers is here! However neither the official organization nor our union-busting CEO Elizabeth Gray are here.

Anyway we’re going on strike next week because Audubon keeps breaking labor law. They’re also joining Elon Musk in claiming the NLRA is unconstitutional 🙃

Please join us on the picket lines next week between September 10-12!

Where there are birds, there are Bird Union workers to protect them, and where there are Bird Union workers, we gather to protect each other too.

ICYMI: Audubon Society CEO Dr. Elizabeth Gray would rather join Elon Musk and others in attacking federal labor law as unconstitutional than settle the multiple Unfair Labor Practices that Audubon management has committed.

The Audubon Society’s staff union is going on strike! An independent group of current and former Audubon workers have launched a GoFundMe to support Bird Union members who walk out. Donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-bi...

Audubon Society CEO Dr. Elizabeth Gray yanked back annual pay raises for union members last month right before the holidays. Now her office is hiring for an image consultant who may be paid up to $195,000/year

Here’s some image advice for free, Dr. Gray: stop your union busting. Now.
