Fun fact: the Clean Water Action MN office was unionized for over 20 years before we joined their union in a tripartite agreement with @PacMediaGuild and @NewsGuildMN. Hear from veteran Shop Steward and lead contract negotiator @hijrodriguez on why he has supported this effort!

Day 4 of our union drive ✊🏽!
Why a union for Clean Water Action employees? SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS!
We have a mighty field canvasses nationwide that knock doors and organize year round! The need:
➡️Environmental controls: i.e. mandatory rest periods when temps exceed 90 F!

No-Retaliation Clauses: Contractual protections allowing workers to report hazards or refuse unsafe work without fear of firing or discipline.

“I am organizing for a union at Clean Water Action because it is essential that we practice what we preach. Advocating for the power of the people, the importance of making our voices heard, starts in our own offices.”
