When will negotiations start between Bernie 2020 and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400?

[Autumn]

16. No. Do you have a link that no negotiations are going on? I take UFCW Local 400 President

Mark P Federici at his word that negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement will begin "as soon as possible." Just because the negotiations haven't been announce as being complete doesn't mean they aren't on going.

UFCW said Sanders' campaign had agreed to use "card check" to determine whether most workers wanted a union. In card check, union organizers ask workers to sign cards affirming that they support a union. If a majority of workers sign them, the union presents those cards to the employer so that the employer will recognize the union.

The union said that by Friday, a majority of the campaign's 44 bargaining-unit-eligible employees had signed union cards. Sanders' aides said on a recent conference call that the campaign has roughly 70 paid staffers. The union says that all campaign employees below the level of deputy director will be represented by the union and that negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement will begin "as soon as possible."

Federici called the unionization a breakthrough that he hoped would serve as a model for other campaigns.

"While political campaigns aren't the easiest work environment, every worker has the right to respect and dignity," he said. "And when candidates who claim to support the labor movement practice what they preach, that sends a powerful message that, if elected, they will deliver on their promises to strengthen union rights and level the playing field between workers and employers."
