Letter to Doug Phelps, President and Executive Director of The Public Interest Network - Rep. Gomez Urges The Public Interest Network to Engage in Good Faith During Unionization Process

Letter

"We write regarding reports we have received surrounding the recent unionization of employees at The Public Interest Network (TPIN). According to the union's filings, 70 percent of eligible employees support unionization with the Office and Professional Employees International Union. We understand that the employees have requested that TPIN voluntarily recognize the union. We write to underscore the importance of good-faith engagement in the unionization process from both parties.

"The Public Interest Network does powerful work on federal, state, and local levels. The organization's employees make important contributions to our communities on climate justice, voting rights, and more. We believe this crucial work must continue.

"We hope the parties will reach a successful resolution together. As elected representatives, we believe a good-faith opportunity to negotiate between employers and employees is in the best interests of everyone involved."
