Obama Foundation workers move to unionize
Original: Obama Foundation and Presidential Center workers to unionize: ‘We don't even have a seat at the table’
Workers at the Obama Foundation and the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are organizing to form a union, saying they lack a real voice in workplace decisions. One employee summed up the frustration with the phrase 'We don't even have a seat at the table.' The push for collective bargaining at an institution bearing the former president's name is drawing attention given his ties to organized labor.
Why now: The irony of union organizing at an institution associated with a president supportive of labor has drawn attention to the campaign.
