The members of the Scholars Strategy Network Union have ratified a collective bargaining agreement with Scholars Strategy Network (SSN) management. This agreement is the first union contract for employees of SSN, who formed a union with the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union (NPEU) in August 2020. “We are proud to deliver on the priorities of our unit, and our contract reflects our commitment to fair pay, improved working conditions, and clear expectations for career progression and job duties,” said the SSN Union Bargaining Team. “We believe in the mission of SSN, and that the continued democratization of our workplace will only help us achieve our goals.” The newly ratified contract raises pay for all employees, lays out a clear career progression, improves workplace transparency and communication, and raises the salary floor. Read more here.
