“I’m proud that my campaign has reached an equitable agreement with IBEW 2320 and I’m grateful to the bargaining teams for getting us there,” said Warren. “Every worker who wants to join a union, bargain collectively, and make their voice heard should have a chance to do so. IBEW has long fought for the dignity of working people, and we’re proud to be part of that tradition.”

The agreement sets the base compensation for organizers on the campaign at $4,175 a month and includes a travel stipend and a monthly cellphone stipend that all members of the union will receive. It also caps a workweek at 60 hours and will guarantee one day off per week, 15 paid vacation days and paid holidays.

The campaign will continue to pay 100 percent of the health care costs for its employees.

“This revolutionary contract brings together shared values and most importantly fair treatment for campaign workers. Throughout the negotiation we focused on wages, benefits and working conditions which are the hallmark for every working person in the United States today,” said Steve Soule, business manager of IBEW Local 2320.

“We were pleased to find a partner at the table that recognized those key issues. We will move for a ratification vote early in the upcoming week,” he added.

Warren’s campaign is the second in the 2020 cycle to announce that it is unionizing.
