IT HAPPENED! ALDF United secured an election victory in our unionization effort with a resounding win at the ballot box! We just made history in the animal protection movement, and we are one GIANT step closer to creating lasting, structural change at @ALDF! Thank you for all!

Congrats to our Litigation team who made this happen! 🙌🏻
Victory! The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa ruled Iowa's latest Ag-Gag law is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment. Read more about the ruling from the Courthouse News Service here: courthousenews.com/federal-j…

Other top reasons people leave their job: inadequate compensation, uncaring and uninspiring leaders, unsustainable work expectations, unreliable and unsupportive people at work, lack of flexibility or support for health or well-being, and non-inclusive and unwelcoming community.
Lack of career advancement and development is now the top reason why people leave their job according to a new McKinsey study.

In the “heyday” for union organizing... "we just thought of them as seeking better wages and working conditions for their workers.” Now, workers were agitating for respect and in opposition to “harassment, bigotry, discrimination and retaliation." theintercept.com/2022/06/07/…
"Animal advocacy has a long record of racial and sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, exploitative and toxic work environments, and retaliatory management practices at some of the movement’s largest organizations."

"In conversations with people involved in organizing, inclusion seems as important as dollars & cents...union contracts...usually include robust language about diversity, pushing things like mandatory diversity trainings or rules about diverse job hunts."
So proud to be part of @NonprofitUnion - we are working to create better think tank workplaces in the DMV and beyond politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Solidarity with @defenders_staff!
We’ve reached an internal breaking point with leadership that our bargaining unit can’t fight alone. The scale is imbalanced, weighed down by control & power. We refuse to let fear silence us & we won’t allow leadership to continue to bully us. We choose transparency & solidarity

Undercover investigations are important for #AnimalRights and "are also important for workers’ rights, and the ruling striking down the original Ag-Gag law notes that these laws have the effect of inhibiting #union organizing." #1u
BREAKING - Court rules that Iowa’s second Ag-Gag law violates the First Amendment! 🙌 Learn more: aldf.org/article/court-strik…
