CWA Members at ActBlue Ratify First Union Contract

CWA Local 1400 members in Massachusetts ratified their first union contract last week with the progressive electoral tech company ActBlue. The issues most important to workers included workplace protections, establishing grievance and arbitration procedures, and codifying benefits to prevent discrimination and harassment. ActBlue tech workers drive the core internal work that keeps the fundraising platform running and helps to expand the organization’s mission.

The new, industry-leading contract includes significant wage increases, a first-of-its-kind prohibition on any kind of surveillance of staff using artificial intelligence, professional development tuition reimbursement; and assurance that ActBlue management will remain neutral if any non-union-represented employees choose to unionize in the future.

"By exercising our solidarity and collective power, our union has won a contract with solid protections that will meaningfully impact our working conditions and our lives,” said Cynthia Mancha, an ActBlue worker and member of the Bargaining Committee.

Union members voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratification by 95% of the membership.
