Indivisible National staff are Unionizing! ISF stands in solidarity with Indivisible National staff.
Today, we learned that the staff of Indivisible National are forming a union! The staff are our longtime colleagues and good friends, and have done incredible work to advance progressive legislation, unite the resistance, and launch powerful initiatives. At Indivisible SF, we stand in solidarity with the staff of Indivisible National. We’ve sent a letter to the leaders of Indivisible National urging them to recognize the union. Read it below.
To Indivisible Leadership,
When we founded or joined our Indivisible Groups, we committed to pushing progressive policies and fighting back against powers that want to repress working people. We, as Indivisible Group Leaders, fully support the Indivisible staff’s effort to unionize. We recognize that the work we do as groups go hand in hand with the work produced by the Indivisible Project. In light of that, our group stands fully behind the Indivisible staff’s union.
We write to ask for the Indivisible Project to recognize their staff Union and to support the rights or workers around the world. We urge Indivisible to allow the workers to form a union, free from intimidation and retaliation, and to quickly negotiate a fair contract. Many of us would not want to associate with a national organization that does not treat its staff’s union requests with the urgency and support expected from a progressive organization. Many of us work closely with union eligible staff and we stand beside them as they seek recognition.
We, as Indivisible Group members, strive to fight for an equitable and fair system that benefits all Americans. In honor of that guiding principle, we fully support the Indivisible Union and request that Indivisible swiftly recognize the union.
In solidarity,
Steering Committee
