It's official! after 1.5 years of negotiating our first contract, MCN union members have unanimously voted for our first union contract! The contract was sign by both union employees and MCN management in early January. 1/4

IT'S THE POST YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: UMN GRADUATE WORKERS HAVE A UNION! We won 2487 yes votes to 70 no- that's 97% in favor of a union! The hard work of countless graduate workers pays off!

.@ColorOfChange needs to get its priorities straight. Our bargaining unit called for accountability during our all-staff meeting today after discovering some of our “leaders” in management had a public Slack channel denigrating union members (1/10)

Thank you @NewsGuildMN! The 3 year journey has been challenging yet so rewarding. Candace for helping us negotiate this contract and carrying us to the end. And Rica for your organizing skills and endless hours of zoom calls listening to and encouraging us to pull through. 3/4

A huge thank you to former MCN union employees who dedicated long hours to this win. Thank you to all of our supporters! We would not have been here without all of you. We look forward to seeing other nonprofits unionizing as it will move our sector forward. Solidarity! 4/4

A union organizer from the MN Guild and @mcnunion participated in the #YoungWorkerTownHall event this week with AFL-CIO President @LizSchuler.

I am left with two thoughts from the #YoungWorkerTownHall: We are in good hands with the next generation of union organizers AND we must #CancelStudentDebt. Thank you @MNAFLCIO and all who were able to join us tonight for a fantastic event!

One year already?! It's been great working with the @MCNUnion through their organizing campaign and the careful crafting of a first union contract. Smart group that is building something long-lasting for themselves and future workers at MCN.

👋👋 UPDATE: It has officially been 1 year since we asked for voluntary recognition! So what has happened in 1 year? After unionizing, we took a social media hiatus in order to fully focus on negotiations. Since we have a small unit, 1/3
