Audubon workers in Nebraska vote to join union
By Dan Crisler Dec 15, 2021 Updated 6 hrs ago
National Audubon Society employees in Nebraska have overwhelmingly voted to unionize.
Eleven Audubon workers in the state are now eligible to join the Audubon for All Union, which is partnering with the Communications Workers of America, according to a press release issued Wednesday. Those workers voted 8-1 to join the union.
The release stated that the vote caps workers yearlong effort to secure stronger health care benefits, job security and a voice at the table for all workers.
The National Audubon Society is a bird and habitat conservation organization.

I support all union efforts. Achieving the goals in this one will be difficult.

Audubon is dependent on public donations. If the donations don't come in, there will be no funds to pay for the increase in benefits. This can also be projected to other businesses, --- Starbucks, the shop in Buffalo that went union. If the customer base doesn't increase, no increase in benefits?
