Call to Safety Workers Reinvigorate Union with Organizing Committee
For the last two years, workers at Call to Safety, a Portland, Oregon-based crisis hotline, have been building their union’s power through a more active organizing committee. The Call to Safety Workers Union is organized with the Industrial Workers of the World.
The Call to Safety Workers Union was established in 2003 and won its first union contract the following year. Currently, all 24 regularly scheduled workers are union members, but there are hopes to expand the union to incorporate everyone who is not yet included. Workers have been successfully re-engergizing the union with an organizing committee since 2019.
