I work at a non profit and we just won union recognition and are slowly moving towards first contract negotiations and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. Would love to chat with some folks about their experiences, especially if you've negotiated around contracts/grants/etc.
Unionizing is a good way to keep the work going. Otherwise people get laid off, burnt out, move out of the industry etc.
This is a huuuuge reason why we were able to get many people on board. Not to mention random retaliatory firings that were completely out of process
