That certainly appears to be the case now as the struggle for union representation persists across the U.S. and workers keep achieving unionization victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the more notable worker wins from the fall of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delta Natural Gas Company Workers Form Union in Kentucky<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forming a union is particularly difficult in right-to-work states because workers there can reap the benefits of a union contract without being dues-paying members or paying fair share fees to unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what makes the unionization victory at Delta Natural Gas Company in right-to-work Kentucky noteworthy. In late August, workers voted for union representation by the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) by a 65 percent margin, despite a heavy anti-union campaign by the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDelta Gas workers stood strong together throughout this campaign, enduring an aggressively anti-union employer and retaliatory actions along the way,\u201d says UWUA National President <a href=\"https:\/\/uwua.net\/2022\/08\/delta-natural-gas-workers-vote-in-favor-of-joining-the-uwua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Slevin<\/a>. As the UWUA notes, the workers at Delta Gas decided to organize to address concerns over low wages, unfair compensation, and high turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thousands More Google Food Service Workers Unionize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, UNITE HERE has been unionizing food service workers in Silicon Valley, including at Google. That effort saw significant success during the pandemic as 4,000 more Google food service workers joined the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, according to a report by Washington Post reporters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/09\/05\/google-union-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gerrit De Vynck and Lauren Kaori Gurley<\/a>, unionized workers now make up 90 percent of the food service workers at 23 Google offices nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a significant labor victory because the food service workers at Google are contract workers who don\u2019t enjoy the same perks and benefits as employees of the tech giant. A union is their only chance for securing fair compensation and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe cafeteria workers\u2019 unionization is some of the most significant union activity tech industry workers have accomplished \u2014 particularly for service workers who operate as part of Google\u2019s vast \u2018shadow workforce\u2019 of contractors who largely receive lower pay and fewer benefits compared to the company\u2019s full-time employees,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/recode\/2019\/12\/31\/21043467\/google-union-cafeteria-workers-unionized-alphabet-silicon-valley-mountainview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shirin Ghaffary<\/a>, senior reporter at Recode, wrote after 2,300 Google cafeteria workers in the Bay Area joined the union in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the activity may become more significant if workers at a Google cafeteria in Atlanta become the next group to successfully unionize. Georgia is a right-to-work state in the South, where it\u2019s historically <a href=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/labor-american-south\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more challenging<\/a> for workers to secure union victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image1-1.jpg\" alt=\"waiter bring vegetables for hot pot and serving customer in restaurant\" class=\"wp-image-3427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image1-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image1-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image1-1-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image1-1-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staffers Form First Congressional Office Unions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In September, congressional staffers for Rep. Andy Levin (D-MI) voted unanimously to form the first-ever congressional staff union. Levin is a former union organizer and was a key sponsor of a House resolution that passed along party lines in May 2022, that allows House staffers to unionize and collectively bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, my staff became the very first in the 233-year history of the U.S. Congress to form a union,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/fedlife\/career\/2022\/09\/26\/staff-for-rep-andy-levin-form-first-ever-congressional-office-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Levin<\/a> said at the time. \u201cI\u2019m proud of their bravery and initiative, and I look forward to bargaining a just contract with the Congressional Workers Union.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levin reached a tentative agreement with his staffers in early October with the hopes of negotiating a full contract soon after, reports RollCall features reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/2022\/10\/17\/staffers-in-rep-andy-levins-office-sign-first-union-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jim Saksa<\/a>. That hope seemed dashed when Levin lost his primary race for reelection, Saksa notes. However, workers were able to ratify an agreement in the final days of the 117th Congress, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congressionalworkersunion.org\/press-releases\/cwu-announces-first-ratified-contract-in-congressional-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CWU<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legacy of that agreement carries on with staffers in at least nine other offices having filed motions to hold elections after the passage of the House resolution, reports news writer <a href=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/articles\/ilhan-omar-and-ro-khannas-offices-overwhelmingly-vote-to-unionize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sharon Zhang<\/a> at Truthout. Two of those voted in favor of unionizing. \u201cThe offices of Representatives Ro Khanna (D-California) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) voted last week to join CWU, with a 9 to 1 vote and 21 to 0 vote, respectively,\u201d notes Zhang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congressionalworkersunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Congressional Workers Union<\/a> said, \u201cWe are witnessing a moment right now on Capitol Hill,\u201d after the wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDozens of workers are making meaningful change in the congressional workplace by speaking up and demanding that our nation\u2019s lawmakers provide them a democratic workplace with a seat at the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workers at Columbus Museum of Art Join the AFSCME<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unionization continues to spread in the arts and culture industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 27, staff workers at the Columbus Museum of Art overwhelmingly voted in favor of unionizing with American Federation of State, County &amp; Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Ohio Council 8. Supported by AFSCME Cultural Workers United, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afscme.org\/public%20letter-cmawu-082922.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Columbus Museum of Art Workers United (CMAWU)<\/a> achieved recognition less than two months after announcing their intention to form a union to address issues such as wages, job security, and working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a great day, and we are excited to take the next step in this journey with our CMA union family,\u201d said CMAWU member and lead event captain for special events at the CMA, <a href=\"https:\/\/afscmecouncil8.org\/news\/columbus-museum-art-employees-win-union-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dani Rand<\/a>. \u201cWe look forward to working with our management and administration to make our workplace more equitable while continuing to maintain the flagship cultural institution CMA has always been.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2-1.jpg\" alt=\"image2\" class=\"wp-image-3428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image2-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Graduate Students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute Win Union Election<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In early November, graduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) voted to form the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpigradunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WPI Graduate Workers&#8217; Union<\/a> and be represented by the United AutoWorkers Union (UAW).

The emphatic victory illustrates the growing consensus among university workers, especially graduate students, that they deserve a voice in policy decisions made by the institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to welcome another group of graduate student workers into our growing UAW family,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/uaw.org\/wpi-graduate-student-workers-win-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beverley Brakeman<\/a>, director of UAW Region 9A. \u201cWith a union, WPI\u2019s graduate workers will finally be able to sit down with the administration to work out solutions to the serious problems they face \u2013 and we will continue to have their back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Momentum for 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What these and countless other victories demonstrate is that workers in any industry at any size workplace can form unions in spite of anti-union precedent or employer union-busting campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As unions across the country support these efforts, leaders can use a communication platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UnionTrack\u00ae ENGAGE\u00ae<\/a> to engage with organizers and keep workers connected to each other and the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small><em>Images by: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@taylor_grote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Taylor Grote<\/em><\/a><em>, tomwang\/\u00a9123RF.com, seventyfour74\/\u00a9123RF.com<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American workers continue to demonstrate their determination to exercise their rights to form unions and collectively bargain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3429,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30,33],"class_list":["post-3424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uniontrack-blog","tag-organizing","tag-union-drives"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
