Tech 1010 Newsletter - Issue 15
We’re excited to celebrate the newest union in our Local 1010 community: Nava United. Workers at Nava have been organizing tirelessly for months in order to secure their union; one that promotes transparency, ensures equity, increases staff well-being and retention, and attracts new talent for their company.
During this difficult campaign, we saw yet another tech company try to divide its workers, with Nava’s leadership initially cutting out entire departments from the bargaining unit. But against the odds, Nava United organized for an inclusive bargaining unit that included technical and non-technical staff. Because of their dedicated work, Nava United successfully was able to include twelve colleagues in the bargaining unit who otherwise wouldn’t have been protected by the union.
We are incredibly proud to have these workers officially join Local 1010, and we can’t wait to see what their brave leadership, guidance, and inspiration leads other tech workers to do in the future. Let’s celebrate and show these workers some love on Twitter! And be sure to reach out to us if you see possibilities at your workplace and want to join this wave of civic tech workers building unions!
In solidarity,
Kate, RV, and Toy
