Here are some of the reasons that our members at the @SierraClub overwhelmingly supported a no confidence vote in @BenJealous and his Executive Team last month 😤😤😤 This is not "progressive leadership" - this is union busting and general mismanagement. #1u

It's been around a month since @SierraClub said the union was spreading false information about potential layoffs - and, you guessed it, since then they have laid off and locked out dozens of our members (in direct violation of our contract) as well as unrepresented staff.

UPDATE - In the face of pressure from staff, @SierraClub has delayed their vote until the 18th. We are calling on the Board to reject any budgets that include layoffs, and to investigate union-busting and mismanagement by @BenJealous and his Exec Team.

Sierra Club workers represented by @PWUnion1 allege in a new unfair labor practice charge that the group is retaliating against union leaders with plans to lay off half of the union's bargaining team in ongoing contract negotiations newrepublic.com/article/181375…

The @SierraClub is a strong partner in the fight for environmental justice and climate action. I support collaboration on a strong agreement with @PWUnion1 and with workers, who are dedicated to a livable future.

Thank you @OregonAFLCIO for standing in solidarity with our union as we fight for a fair contract at the @SierraClub. @BenJealous, we have an opportunity to collaborate on one of the strongest union contracts in the nation - what are we waiting for?

The @sierraclub and @benjealous have an opportunity to be progressive champions and collaborate with @Pwunion1 to write one of the strongest contracts in the nation and set the bar for workers everywhere. Let’s get it done! #1u 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

Update from the @SierraClub bargaining table: Management refused proposals to extend the current contract, allowing it to expire on January 1, 2024. We are standing strong, and will not be bullied into allowing management to gut worker protections and reduce pay and benefits.

A brief message from our members who have been hard at work bargaining with the @SierraClub for a fair contract. RT if you are ready to stand with us and show SC mgmt and @BenJealous that the movement for worker and climate justice is watching. #solidarityforever #1u

PWU is committed to working with @SierraClub to ratify a fair contract, and it's a shame that mgmt has rejected our 3-month extension proposal. We will not negotiate away our members' rights to meet mgmt's arbitrary deadlines. #1u subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

It’s "transportation day" at #COP28. Big Auto CEOs have promised cleaner transportation, but they continue to roll out cars & trucks that pollute our air & climate. Remind Big Auto that their pledges must be met with real, tangible progress. Act now: sc.org/47FzlPR

Update from the Sierra Club bargaining table: Today management proposed to take away existing contract language to eliminate our right to a 7% raise (minimum!) when members experience a substantial increase in workload. AKA, they want us to work more for less pay.

Solidarity to our members at @GPUSAWorkers who have been fighting for a fair contract for far too long. @GPUSA @Ebony_4_Justice must come to their senses and agree to a just and equitable contract. #1u

It’s been 24 days since we posted this. It’s been 1,119 days since we officially unionized. Today, @GPUSAWorkers are still fighting for our first contract. Retweet if you think @GreenpeaceUSA management should work with us to finalize our first contract before the year ends!
