One of those is The Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the latest efforts, nearly 80 percent of eligible editorial staff employees at The Atlantic signed union cards with the NewsGuild of New York Local 31003 in early June, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/newsguild.org\/newsroom-staffers-of-the-atlantic-form-a-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sally Davidow<\/a>, communications director at NewsGuild-CWA. It was a move meant to guarantee workers a voice at the office and put the publication on par with so many others that have already organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have faith in our leadership, but in a time of upheaval in our industry and nation, we also wish to ensure that all of the staffers who contribute to The Atlantic\u2019s successes are justly rewarded for their labor and free to speak their mind on matters of concern,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theatlunion\/status\/1401903033479467009\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Atlantic Union<\/a> wrote in its mission statement. \u201cTo this end, we have decided to join our peers across the industry in forming a union.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management almost immediately agreed to voluntarily recognize the union after learning of the workers\u2019 intent to unionize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Techs at U.P. Health System-Marquette Vote to Unionize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The healthcare industry is another that has seen a significant increase in worker activism and union organizing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe urgency and desperation we&#8217;ve heard from workers is at a pitch I haven&#8217;t experienced before in 20 years of this work,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2021\/01\/11\/955128562\/for-health-care-workers-the-pandemic-is-fueling-renewed-interest-in-unions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cass Gualvez<\/a>, organizing director for Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To illustrate, in June, more than 200 hospital technicians at U.P. Health System-Marquette became the third group of healthcare workers in the Upper Peninsula area of Michigan to unionize with the Michigan Nurses Association since the pandemic began, reports journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upmatters.com\/news\/local-news\/north-central-up\/over-200-hospital-techs-at-uphs-marquette-win-union-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melissa Vennix<\/a>. It was a landslide victory with 93 percent of the eligible voters electing to join.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe past year of COVID crisis has really brought us together and shown us how much stronger we are when we are united,\u201d says Kerri Beckman, a medical technologist. \u201cWe all need each other to keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-2.jpg\" alt=\"Cheerful barista with stylish beard and hairstyle making coffee for a customer in the coffee shop; union drives concept\" class=\"wp-image-2650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pavement Coffeehouse Workers in Massachusetts Make History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers at Pavement Coffeehouse in Boston, Massachusetts, who formed the Pavement UNITED union, made history after voting to join the New England Joint Board UNITE HERE. They became the first coffeehouse workers in Massachusetts to unionize, and it was an uncharacteristically quick victory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In only a few days, a supermajority of eligible employees signed authorization cards, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/working-mass.com\/2021\/06\/07\/impending-victory-at-pavement-coffeehouse-a-blueprint-for-boston-cafe-workers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Henry De Groot<\/a>, an editor at Working Mass and member of the Boston DSA Labor Working Group. \u201cWhile it often takes months or even years for a unionization campaign to unfold, the events at Pavement largely took place just in the last month, as tensions that had been building for a year\u2014over COVID-19 and an unwelcoming working environment\u2014exploded,\u201d explains De Groot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost immediately, management voluntarily recognized the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a victory not only for the Pavement Coffeehouse workers but also food service industry workers as a whole as only about 1.2 percent of workers are unionized, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iag\/tgs\/iag722.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>. The win in Massachusetts demonstrates the possibilities for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Union Harvest and Nature\u2019s Root Labs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unionization efforts in the cannabis industry have been on the rise, driven mostly by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) which formed Cannabis Workers Rising in 2013 to organize industry workers. As <a href=\"https:\/\/mjbizdaily.com\/marijuana-union-organizing-surging-amid-pandemic-uptick-in-labor-peace-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hugh Giordano<\/a>, organizer and representative for UFCW Local 152, says, industry and labor have a \u201chistoric opportunity\u201d to partner together in the industry to ensure equitable working conditions for highly-skilled workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big step forward was taken this summer when the union secured a national agreement to unionize workers at Union Harvest and Nature\u2019s Root Labs in Longmont, Colorado. As the union notes, the agreement is \u201ca first of its kind, across-the-board unionized CBD joint venture that sets a precedent for even more workers in the industry to unionize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited about this new contract and our role to expand into this national market,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\/ufcw-union-harvest-natures-root-announce-first-ever-national-deal-to-unionize-full-workforce-of-joint-cannabis-venture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kim Cordova<\/a>, president of UFCW Local 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These examples of successful union drives highlight the growing interest in unionizing by workers in different industries. A tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniontrack.com\/\">UnionTrack ENGAGE<\/a> can help union representatives communicate with and organize workers to help ensure the success of union drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small><em>Images by: rmarmion\/\u00a9123RF.com, fxquadro\/\u00a9123RF.com<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The labor movement gains strength as workers across the country continue to organize.
