Workers employed at the National Braille Press (NBP) have received confirmation from management that they will voluntarily recognize the Workers’ Union with the Industrial Division of CWA.
Members are calling for a stronger voice on the job and improvements they believe will help sustain both the workforce and NBP’s mission. NBP, in operation for more than a century, is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that produces braille books, educational materials and other resources to help expand access to information for blind and visually-impaired people.
Workers formed a wall-to-wall Union, which includes production Workers, Press Operators, Transcribers, Proofreaders, Sales and Development Staff, Administrative Workers and others. On August 31st, the Workers marched together to NBP leadership to announce their Organizing Campaign and call on the organization to voluntarily recognize their Union.
