Unionized workers at the Sierra Club have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a potential strike amid layoffs and allegations of financial mismanagement.
Unionized workers at the Sierra Club, a leading environmental organization, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a potential strike amid layoffs and allegations of financial mismanagement. The vote, in which 87% of about 180 staffers who cast ballots authorized union leaders to call a strike, raises the likelihood of a work stoppage at the historic institution, which has been roiled by downsizing efforts as fundraising has plummeted.
A strike, he added, would “undermine the Sierra Club’s operations and ability to fundraise.” The total number of employees in the Sierra Club’s chapters and national staff are down from a high of 913 in 2022 to 718 this year, according to a May budget report compiled by the organization. A bargaining session with an outside mediator is scheduled for Monday, Berman said.
