Contract Signed! A Victory for Social Justice!

On April 12, 2018, the Muste Institute emailed our union a signed copy of the collective bargaining agreement that we had accepted last February 21, and informed us that they were proceeding to pay us our retroactive salary increases withheld since July of 2016.

The AJ Muste Staff Union is grateful for all the support and solidarity we received from friends and comrades in the social justice and labor rights communities over the course of this long struggle. The contract is a victory for all of us, and for A.J. Muste’s legacy of labor and civil rights organizing.

To all of you who signed and shared our petitions and other messages: stay posted—we are planning a contract celebration, and you’re invited! Solidarity forever!
