NPEU Members at CAP vote to put all actions on the table to raise wages
Hi All,
This morning, members of the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union, IFPTE Local 70, who work at the Center for American Progress announced that they had overwhelmingly voted to reject management's most recent salary proposal and to put all options on the table to win a fair contract, including a work stoppage.
This is a big moment for our members at CAP, for our union and for nonprofit workers across the country. By taking a strong stance for living wages and against the status quo of low starting salaries (current minimum salary at CAP is $40K), we are showing nonprofit execs everywhere that the era of paying junior staffers paltry salaries and trying to make up for it with prestige or good vibes is over.
Anything you all can do to show some digital solidarity would be appreciated.
