We are a diverse group of workers from the Capital Area Food Bank who are passionate about the work we do and want to make the food bank a better and more equitable place for all of our colleagues. Our group consists of employees from all departments and all walks of life. We are working with the Baltimore Washington News Guild & AFL-CIO to organize our workplace to attempt to unionize.
The goal behind us unionizing is to restore decency in the workplace, enable staff to freely speak up about ways to improve our workplace without fear of retaliation, protect staff from being unjustly fired, increase cultural competency, end bias by providing a legally binding grievance procedure to deal with racism and sexism in the workplace, ensure equal opportunity for professional advancement, establish racial and gender pay equity, and cultivate a culture of accountability and professionalism in the organization.
