I work at a non profit and we just won union recognition and are slowly moving towards first contract negotiations and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING. Would love to chat with some folks about their experiences, especially if you’ve negotiated around contracts/grants/etc.

Y’all are really making me feel more secure in this even though it’s still going to be a helluva fight. Hope I can keep going

Just talk to anyone who’s in a big union, especially if they are in a small shop. If you can even find one. A lot of unions wouldn’t have even consider a place like you describe because not enough due$.

Keep your spirits up for now.

I’ll just say what I said up top:

"It… depends. Recently, the big unions have been better, but it depends on which one.

There is definitely a history of anti-communism since the founding of the AFL-CIO."
