The momentum of the new labor movement hasn\u2019t slowed down, and there are mid-2023 worker wins to celebrate. As they have for the past couple of years, workers across the country are coming together to stand up against employer oppression, to exercise their rights to form unions, and to collectively bargain for greater protections and better working conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a good year for unions,\u201d says Art Wheaton<\/a>, director of labor studies at Cornell University\u2019s Industrial and Labor Relations. \u201cYou\u2019ve seen a lot of successes and that will help going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a look at some of the most recent organizing wins<\/a> that have made this such a great year for workers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farm Workers in New York State Organize with the UFW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Farm workers were deliberately omitted from the National Labor Relations Act when it passed in 1935. To right that wrong, New York passed the Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act<\/a> in 2019 and became one of three states to give farm workers the protected right to unionize. To ease the process for workers, the Act also requires farms to recognize a union through card check.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its passage was a big win for the workers in the state and helped pave the path for the recent unionization victories by 500 workers at five farms in New York \u2014 Wafler Farms, Cahoon Farms, Porpiglia, A&J Kirby, and Lynn-Ette. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d says United Farm Workers (UFW) President Teresa Romero<\/a>. \u201cWhen the laws change, workers really can win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are particularly significant victories for the UFW because it\u2019s the first time the union has won union drives in the northeast. \u201cFor us, it\u2019s proof of concept that when you change the laws, workers can win,\u201d says Antonio De Loera-Brust<\/a>, director of communications for the UFW. The wins also increased the union\u2019s membership by 8 percent, which just might give the union a jolt of momentum it needs to bring in more workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was considerable lethargy with the UFW,\u201d says Beardsley Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Stanford Law School and former chairman of the California Agricultural Relations Board William Gould IV<\/a>. \u201cThis is a significant departure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabis Workers at RISE Dispensary in Rhode Island Vote to Unionize with the UFCW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cannabis industry is a high-growth one, and unions are working to get in on the ground floor to build it as a pro-labor industry. \u201cUnlike other rapidly developing U.S. industries such as technology, cannabis may be peculiarly suited for labor organizing,\u201d writes MJ Biz Daily reporter Chris Roberts<\/a>. That\u2019s because it is a \u201cheavily-regulated, labor-intensive business sector\u201d that is increasingly being run by large cannabis conglomerates that are squeezing labor costs for higher profits, notes Roberts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to push back against wage suppression and bring consistency in working conditions to what John Cakmakci<\/a>, president of United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Union Local 951 in Michigan, describes as \u201cthe wild west,\u201d cannabis workers are forming unions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most recent cannabis workplaces to organize is the Rise Dispensary in Warwick, Rhode Island. In July 2023, workers voted 50 to 6 in favor of organizing with UFCW Local 328 after the dispensary was acquired by Green Thumb Industries, the third-largest cannabis company in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was made clear to us, through word and deed, that management was struggling to balance our needs with corporate demands,\u201d said the dispensary\u2019s Patient Care Specialist Bruce Botelho<\/a> after the win. \u201cWe chose to organize and take that burden off their hands in an attempt to improve working conditions for everyone at Rise Warwick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate Students at Pardee Rand Graduate School Vote to Join the UAW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The majority of graduate students struggle to make ends meet. \u201cWorking as an adjunct or research assistant is a high-stress, poorly-paid gig that comes with a heavy workload and precarious employment status,\u201d writes journalist Kim Kelly<\/a>, who wrote the book \u201cFight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to improve their working conditions and raise labor standards in the industry, graduate students across the country have increasingly turned to unions. \u201cThis recent growth in student unionization has far exceeded that among faculty\u2014whether contingent or tenure-track,\u201d note Ruth Milkman and Joseph Van Der Naald<\/a> in the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies 2023 state of unions report.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing list of unionized graduate students now includes those at the Pardee Rand Graduate School (PRGS) who voted 51 to 26 to organize with the United Auto Workers (UAW). \u201cBuilding a union with my coworkers has been an empowering way to put our policy studies into action,\u201d says Alejandra Lopez<\/a>, a graduate student researcher at PRGS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture Workers at the California Academy of Sciences Museum Organize with the SEIU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Culture industry workers aren\u2019t backing down either. After a string of successful unionization efforts at high-profile museums in 2021 and 2022, more museum workers are following suit in 2023. On July 25, 2023, 77 percent of eligible voters at the California Academy of Sciences museum voted to join Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a victory for all of us who work at the Academy,\u201d says organizing committee member Ian Hart<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working hard for this for months, and it\u2019s an amazing feeling to see it come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the collective bargaining process, the workers want to address issues such as compensation, benefits, and a more equitable system for pay raises. Most importantly, though, they want a say in how layoffs are handled in light of how poorly it was done during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe layoff process is intertwined with why we want to unionize,\u201d says Victoria Langlands<\/a>, a member of the organizing committee. \u201cIt lacked transparency and communication at a time when everything was confusing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starbucks Baristas are Still Winning Union Elections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Workers at Starbucks locations across the country continue to successfully organize. In the summer months of 2023, baristas won union elections at 41 locations, helping to bring the number of unionized locations to more than 350.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These recent and ongoing victories are significant because they demonstrate a commitment to unionizing despite heavy anti-union rhetoric, illegal firing of unionizing employees, store closures, and the inability to date of any unionized locations to secure a first contract. Workers are simply tired of being taken advantage of by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When workers at the Maryland Heights, Missouri, Starbucks location voted to form a union in August, they were motivated by a reduction in hours that left them without benefits even though they requested more hours. \u201cThe benefits would be nice, but it was especially heartbreaking to see my co-workers that rely on it lose their health care due to lackluster scheduling,\u201d says barista Tori Davies<\/a> of the cut in hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s just one in a long list of practices that are energizing baristas to stand together and demand better. Each election victory and unfair labor practice suit win, like the recent win in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, gives the workers that much more leverage to bring the company to the table to bargain and hopefully start securing some contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorkers are fighting back against Starbucks\u2019 illegal union-busting campaign and are WINNING,\u201d tweeted Starbucks Workers United<\/a> after the ruling in Pennsylvania.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As workers and unions press for more workplaces to form unions, a communications platform like UnionTrack\u00ae ENGAGE\u00ae<\/a> gives organizers the ability to keep members informed and engaged in union campaigns which translates to more wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
