Every day, workers at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a humanitarian aid nonprofit, serve people who have come to our country seeking refuge and a better life for themselves and their families.

LET THE BOSSES KNOW YOU STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH IRC WORKERS UNITE/OPEIU

Since 2023, IRC offices in 11 locations have unionized with various OPEIU locals across the country. But IRC management has consistently delayed and undermined the bargaining process that serves as the cornerstone of our collective fight for living wages, good benefits and reasonable working conditions.

While IRC’s top executives make close to a combined $5 million, many IRC frontline workers aren’t earning a living wage. In fighting for a fair first contract, IRC Workers Unite/OPEIU is committed to creating a sustainable future for IRC workers — a future where one job is enough.

On this day 160 years ago, the Union Army announced to enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, that they were free — more than two years after President Lincoln delivered his Emancipation Proclamation. Observed as a federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth commemorates, celebrates and honors Black culture and history.

The annual celebration holds tremendous meaning to Black workers, as it should to all working people who enjoy and defend the freedom to live our own lives, speak with our own voices and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

This Juneteenth, we're reminded of how much further we, as a labor movement and as a nation, still have to go to fulfill the promise of liberty and justice for all. Our union will continue to work toward building a future that fulfills that promise.
