The International Rescue Committee is the largest non-profit organization providing services for refugee communities around the world. It is also the site of a growing union campaign. Two years ago, workers at the organization’s office in Dallas, TX won an NLRB election, becoming the first office to unionize. Since then, over one dozen more offices throughout the United States joined the union. For the past year the union, IRC Workers Unite — affiliated with OPEIU: Office and Professional Employees International Union — have been bargaining for a contract.

The campaign for better pay and workplace protections has become all the more acute since Donald Trump returned to the presidency. His administration has threatened funding for progressive non-profits, and immigrant communities and their allies have been some of the most targeted by the administration.
