Family values @ work united recognized!

On Friday, May 9th, staff at Family Values at Work: A Multi-State Consortium won voluntarily recognition of their Union! Staff workers, calling themselves “FV@W United”, asked for and received a wall-to-wall unit of all staff at the organization, which is based out of Milwaukee but has staff around the U.S.

Staff workers organized for job security, layoff provisions, wage progressions, and a strong grievance procedure. They’re now in the process of building a bargaining committee and getting ready to negotiate a first contract. OPEIU 39 is very proud to represent FV@W staff in their important mission fighting for policies and practices towards economic, racial, and gender justice.
