Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 2336 members who work at MissionWired in Washington, D.C., have ratified their first collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
Staff at the digital marketing and fundraising agency have been engaged in negotiations for more than two years. This is the latest campaign win for CWA’s Campaign to Organize Digital Employees (CODE-CWA). Highlights of the agreement include guaranteed annual wage increases, higher salary bands, guardrails for artificial intelligence (AI) usage in the workplace, remote work arrangements and more.
“When we started organizing, we wanted a real voice in the decisions that shape our work and our lives. This contract gives us that voice to make sure the tools that we work with every day enhance our jobs rather than replace them,” said data engineer Kelsey Evans. “We’re super proud of what we were able to build into the workplace with a first contract.”
