Brennan Center United Receives Voluntary Recognition

Contact:

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law has voluntarily recognized their staff’s union, Brennan Center United. This recognition comes after Brennan Center United and Brennan Center management reached an agreement on the scope of the bargaining unit, and a card check conducted by a neutral third party has confirmed that an overwhelming majority of eligible workers at the Brennan Center desire union recognition. 

“We formed this union because we are committed to the Brennan Center’s mission of advancing democracy and justice,” said the Brennan Center United organizing committee. “We are overjoyed that the Brennan Center has voluntarily recognized our union and look forward to gathering at the bargaining table to make our workplace more inclusive, equitable, democratic, and enjoyable for all workers.”

Brennan Center United is affiliated with the United Auto Workers, UAW Local 2320, a “national local” union also known as the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (NOLSW). The Brennan Center for Justice is a prominent nonpartisan law and policy institute known for its evidence-based work and advocacy for democracy reform and justice.
