Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania workers vote to unionize

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania workers voted to unionize. This comes less than two months after a group of 35 full and part-time staff members with the reproductive health organization filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a unionization vote.

Organizing member and PPWP health care assistant, Crystal Grabowski says that, while the exact number of pro-union votes have yet to be confirmed, "we won with a majority."

Votes were collected via a mail-in ballot election. Ballots were sent out on Feb. 18 and were required to arrive on Thu., March 11 in order to be eligible.

PPWP workers will be represented by the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, or UE.
