"We are happy to announce Rising Voices has voluntarily recognized @rvstaffunion! It's official, welcome to the Guild! #GuildStrong "
" We, the workers of Rising Voices, a Project of the Center for Empowered Politics, are joining the long-established tradition of the working class communities we organize alongside by uniting to form a union with The Newspaper Guild of Detroit, TNG-CWA 34022. As Asian American community organizers and movement builders, we advocate for working-class, multiracial communities across Michigan—and it is time we advocate for ourselves as workers. Establishing a union will allow us to have a seat at the decision-making table, formalizing the work conditions that brought and keep us working here through a fair contract, while also advocating for the changes necessary to help our organization achieve the social change that we fight for every day. Some of our values include: radical, collective liberation, and collaborative culture. By establishing the Rising Workers Union, we are striving to live and work by those values.
We are optimistic for our leadership to act alongside Rising Voices’ stated liberatory values by voluntarily recognizing our unit. "
