Bird Union Members Hold Practice Picket for a Fair Contract

CWA 1180-Bird Union members have been negotiating with Audubon for more than two years for their first union contract, while Audubon has dragged their feet and made attempts to weaken the union, including denying discretionary raises to CWA 1180-Bird Union members that were given to other staff. This follows a pattern of pay inequity and a well-documented toxic culture for women and people of color at Audubon that the workers are fighting to improve.

A growing majority of workers have now signed a strike pledge and members turned out along with supporters, electeds, and Scabby on Wednesday, mobilizing for a lunchtime Practice Picket at Audubon HQ in Manhattan to tell management that enough is enough!
