ACLU-DC Staff United

ACLU-DC Staff United members stand holding signs reading "ACLU of D.C. - Union Contract Now - fair pay, work-life balance, worker protections

After over 2 years of bargaining, union members ACLU-DC lunched out today because we are serious and united in our demands: fair pay, work-life balance, and worker protections. Let's do this!

This Labor Day is the second ACLU-DC workers have had without a fair contract, and we're determined to make it the last! #unionrightsarecivilrights

We’re back! Union leaders at ACLU-DC were rightfully reinstated at work yesterday! Your solidarity—likes, comments, calls, emails, encouragement—made all the difference. Together, we made our message loud and clear: union rights are civil rights! Onward to our first contract.

We need ACLU-DC exec. dir. Monica Hopkins to reinstate our union leaders and stop the union busting! We are urging Monica and other executives to do the right thing. And your solidarity matters! DM for ways to help.

🚨ACLU-DC exec. dir. Monica Hopkins has forced TWO union leaders – and the unions only stewards – on leave and is investigating them on bogus retaliatory charges.

We’ll keep you posted on whether ACLU-DC Executive Director Monica Hopkins does the right thing or if our fight must continue.

Even as we celebrate this win, our bargaining chair is still on administrative leave pending an “investigation.” Attempting to fire a successful employee in retaliation for union activity is unacceptable. So keep up the momentum! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Your solidarity has already made a huge difference! Thanks to emails supporters sent, our union finally won fair salary increases for all union members.

But …

Tell ACLU-D.C. Management to Stop Their Union-Busting Tactics! One week before Thanksgiving, one week after a union action, and one year into bargaining our first contract, ACLU-D.C. management unlawfully laid off two union members, or nearly 15% of our bargainin...

Send ACLU-D.C. executives a reminder that union rights are civil rights!

It makes no sense to challenge the Trump Administration for retaliating against federal workers, just to turn around and retaliate against union members who are working hard to fulfill the organization’s mission.

There is no room for intimidation and retaliation against union members in a civil rights and civil liberties organization.

Solidarity to the ACLU of DC staff union, from Texas. Their bargaining chair was placed on forced leave. The “U” in ACLU stands for “Union” — might be good for the leadership to remember that.

Sending solidarity to our union siblings at the ACLU of DC. Union busting is disgusting!

Organizations need to live their values. Union busting is not the ACLU way! Solidarity to the staff at @acludcunion.bsky.social.

Union Rights are Civil Rights!!

Say it loud and say it proud: union rights are civil rights! And stay tuned for more ways to show your solidarity.

ACLU-D.C. staff need a fair COLA, a contract, and our bargaining chair back at work– not intimidation and retaliation for asserting our union rights.

We showed up to bargain, but where was Monica?

Union-busting alert: Two hours after this union action, ACLU-D.C. executive director Monica Hopkins put our bargaining chair on forced leave and cancelled bargaining.
