Contract negotiations will begin in the coming weeks. Since its launch in mid-2019, more than 1,000 nonprofit workers at dozens of workplaces throughout the country have organized with NEU. During the COVID-19 pandemic, OPEIU organized 530 workers at 18 nonprofit workplaces. In more than half of these organizing campaigns, the employer agreed to voluntarily recognize the union through a card-check verification conducted by a neutral party.
