The One Big Union wants us to take One Big Pay Cut and other major losses

We, the workers at the General Headquarters of the North American Regional Administration (NARA) of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) continue to bargain for a fair and just contract. We have been bargaining for over a year and have been working under an expired contract since January 1, 2025.

Sign our petition to demand management negotiate a fair deal that won’t set us back in time!

Management has demanded extreme givebacks and concessions AND attempted retaliation against us for opposing unilateral changes and new requirements to our working conditions.

Currently, Management is insisting that we accept:

• A 16.5% pay cut that would cost us years of gains and set us back to our 2022 wages

• A 34% decrease in core paid time off (vacation, sick time, COVID sick time)

• Elimination of remote work with mandatory full-time return to the office

• A ‘Super Management Rights Clause’ in which the IWW can invalidate parts of our CBA at any time based on motions that pass its own internal decision making processes

These requests are not in line with the values of the labor movement or the IWW itself; its preamble opens:

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

Meanwhile, this employer chooses to go against its own values, refusing to settle a fair contract and insisting on major losses to be taken on by us, the staff that keeps this organization running.

Sign our petition and join us in calling out the IWW General Executive Board on their austerity first approach to collective bargaining, and urge them to settle a fair deal that reflects the actual values of the IWW.
