Audubon Society Workers Reach Tentative Agreement for First Union Contract

Members of the Bird Union-CWA Local 1180 have reached a tentative agreement with the National Audubon Society for a first union contract, avoiding a strike that had been planned for this week. This tentative agreement was reached after more than two years of negotiations, supported by mobilization of union members across the country. The 3-year contract will cover 260 union members represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Union members will meet to review the tentative agreement, before holding a ratification vote that will give every union member a voice on the proposed union contract.

"We are incredibly proud of our fellow Bird Union-CWA Local 1180 members and their solidarity that has sustained us through more than two years of negotiations," the Bird Union bargaining committee said in a statement. "For every member who has walked a practice picket line, spoken out for the contract they deserved, or joined their coworkers for a union action, you built this. In negotiating and organizing for a first contract, our members have built a foundation for the future of all Audubon workers to have a voice on the job." Follow the Bird Union here!
