Employee unions for those working in and around civic tech
We are campaign workers from across the United States who are committed to improving our work conditions, empowering organizers, and promoting healthy career longevity. We regularly work more than ten hours a day, seven days a week for low pay, often without health coverage. We usually don't get sick days, much less a day off — and we're fed up. To be clear, we are done with candidates disrespecting the workers who put them in office. We are improving pay, creating processes to prevent and report sexual harassment, and fighting for the basic labor protections that all workers deserve.
We, the workers of Code for America, are proud to announce that we are unionizing. Forming a union will promote transparency, ensure equity, increase staff well-being and retention, and add to the long list of reasons why Code for America is a leader in the fields of nonprofits and tech. As a union, we will build a stronger, more sustainable organization for all staff, the people we serve, and partners we work with.
At Nava, we work with government agencies to provide digital services that are simple, accessible, and effective for all. Now, a supermajority of eligible employees have come together to form our union, Nava United, which is affiliated with the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) Tech Workers Union Local 1010.
