OPEIU launches campaign to organize nonprofit staff

OPEIU has created an organizing campaign called NEU—Nonprofit Employees United—to reach out to unorganized nonprofit staff. “We’ve secured workplace policies and procedures that make our legal services and advocacy nonprofits more inclusive, accountable, and effective,” say members in a recent post. Workers at the Solidarity Center, for example negotiated for paid parental leave that ranges from 10 to 12 weeks and NEU members at Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington negotiated for their employer to make every reasonable effort to provide time and support during the normal work day to take care of administrative tasks and follow-up on their work. Find out more about NEU here.
