With 80.7% of the vote, workers at Environmental Defense Fund now have a union! 🎉

We're celebrating our first week of voting by sharing what our union stands for and why we're excited to vote yes for a union at EDF! 🌱

Happy Election Day! 🗳️

Yesterday, EDF Together and EDF agreed to a private election. While we're disappointed that our union effort was not voluntarily recognized, we're looking forward to a prompt, transparent, and fair election in January so we can swiftly begin the bargaining process. Solidarity and Happy Holidays! 🌱

The BlueGreen Alliance may have formed only 19 years ago, but the American environmental and labor movements have been working together for nearly a century. EDF Together is proud to be the latest environmental nonprofit union, and we’re even prouder to know that we won’t be the last. 🌱

Today, in response to
@envdefensefund.bsky.social's delay in voluntarily recognizing our union, 120+ supportive EDFers sent messages about why they support the union to all 1,000+ EDF employees and asked leadership for voluntary recognition. Sign our petition here: actionnetwork.org/letters/volu...

EDF Together joins dozens of other environmental nonprofit unions who are striving to strengthen their workplaces!

Here are three examples of peer organizations that have unionized in recent years (all voluntarily recognized!) and the positive changes they’ve achieved. 🎉

Thank you! Because of your support, we've been able to send over 1,000 letters (and counting) to EDF leadership, asking for voluntary recognition. 🎉 actionnetwork.org/letters/volu...

Our union was featured in E&E News!

In the article, EDF said they “will move swiftly to review the information” which we appreciate and are hopeful they’ll choose the smoothest and swiftest option available by voluntarily recognizing our union. 🌱

Here are some of the reasons that EDFers are excited to unionize! 🌟

Given EDF’s support for union labor through its coalition partnerships externally & its commitment to improving staff experiences internally, we hope to receive voluntary recognition from EDF’s Leadership Team. Please support our request by signing our petition. actionnetwork.org/letters/volu...

Today, hundreds of workers at Environmental Defense Fund announced the launch of EDF Together — the largest environmental union in the US. We’re asking EDF to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can begin building a better EDF, together. Learn more: edftogether.org
