(WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA) - Workers employed at The Trevor Project, an organization that works to end suicide among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and the Queer, have announced an overwhelming majority of them have signed cards indicating their desire to form a Union with the Communication Workers of America (CWA).

Their Union, Friends of Trevor United/CWA (FTU/CWA), is seeking voluntary recognition from management in order to begin bargaining a fair contract that will create a formal grievance structure and safeguards around layoffs, raise Workers’ pay, and grant access to best-in-class health care - including gender-affirming services.

In their letter demanding recognition, FTU/CWA supporters say they believe that joining together in a Union and moving forward in a constructive relationship through collective bargaining is consistent with the organization’s values.
