The Nonprofit Professional Employees Union continued its string of organizing successes last week with the announcement that the staff of Scholars Strategy Network had joined the union. “We believe that unionizing creates a platform for all staff to participate in ways that build on our strengths and address our weaknesses,” said the SSN union in a statement. “We believe a union will allow staff to use our combined years of experience organizing scholars to build a more effective, democratic organization.” Workers have asked management to voluntarily recognize the union and begin negotiating a contract.
