Today, the staff at ALDF won their union election. The National Labor Relations Board counted the ballots and a super majority of eligible staff voted to join ALDF United, which is part of the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union (NPEU), IFPTE Local 70. 

“We thank everyone inside and outside our organization for their support. We look forward to getting to work on our first union contract,” said the ALDF organizing committee. 

“Despite ALDF management’s attempts to bust the staff’s union, the employees prevailed in exercising their workplace right to join together in union. This victory highlights the power of strong worker organizing. We are so proud of ALDF United and are excited to support them as they begin negotiating to make ALDF an even better organization,” said Interim President Katie Barrows.
