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.

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.

Almost unbelievable news. Cannot adequately express my gratitude and love for my colleagues who made this happen. A better world is possible.

Audubon Society has rolled out superior benefits to non-union staff, in what many see as anti-union retaliation.  “It feels like I have to choose between having a family and staying at this organization. And that is a lot of power to give your employer.” inthesetimes.com/article/bird...

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.
