🎉 Big news from our union: We have a new name — Guild of Autistic Self-Advocate Staff (GASS) — and a major win. Our full bargaining unit, including previously disputed members, is now officially recognized! Solidarity works. 💪 #SolidarityForever #CookingWithGASS

One month ago, we publicly launched ASAU! And while we were excited to quickly gain voluntary recognition, we have been disappointed in ASAN’s leadership for disputing the inclusion of 3 of our members.

On Jan. 27, President Trump fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox, the first Black woman to serve on the board. This move is illegal and will have immediate consequences for working people. Take action against this injustice now:

🚨: Trump just fired Gwynne Wilcox, the first Black woman on the NLRB, illegally stripping the agency of its decision-making power. Wilcox is suing to be reinstated and restore worker protections. newsguild.org/trump-destro...

Hey friends, if you care about labor and disabled workers, would you do me a favor and follow @autselfadvunion.bsky.social — it's becoming very clear that they're going to need the community's attention on their unionization effort.

ASAU is very excited to share that ASAN’s Executive Director, Managers, and Board of Trustees have granted us voluntary recognition! Now that we are an official union, we can do more work to make ASAN better.

Want to support ASAU? Please share our posts and our mission statement! Also make sure to follow us to keep up with our unionization journey.

Fabulous news - solidarity! #AutisticWorkers #DisabledWorkers #Unions

Solidarity comrades!

Give these friends a follow! People with disabilities face enormous workplace challenges and the representation of a union can do so much to improve that. Hoping @autisticadvocacy.bsky.social does the right thing and recognizes them!

While many of us see the importance, value, and empowerment of having a Union that assists Autistic ppl in navigating ADA accommodation, legal actions, benefits, workers rights … it always fails to get off the ground … This could be the start of something huge: bsky.app/profile/auts...

Congratulations to @autselfadvunion.bsky.social! Unions are good for disabled people and disability community.

Thank you to everyone who has followed us, shared our posts, or messaged us so far! We are so appreciative of the support. We are still hoping to gain voluntary recognition, so please continue to show your support by sharing our posts!

Alex is excited to unionize with ASAN in order to bring "Nothing about us without us" fully into the heart of ASAN!

Check out why ASAN staff member Mar is excited to unionize!

We want to recenter ASAN’s mission to “empower autistic people across the world to take control of our own lives and the future of our common community.” We want to truly and meaningfully center and uplift autistic people who are marginalized even within the autistic community.

ASAN staff is uniting to form the Autistic Self Advocacy Union! Today, we have officially asked management to voluntarily recognize our union. We hope they choose to do so soon!

Check out our mission statement (available in formal language and plain language) on our website: https://buff.ly/3BXoLZQ

We are the Autistic Self Advocacy Union. We are a union of Autistic Self Advocacy Network staff organizing with @NewsGuild.org and @CWAUnion.bsky.social to make our workplace better because we want to better serve our community. We believe that “nothing about us without us” includes us!
