Jolt Action, which bills itself as the 'largest Latino progressive organization in Texas,' is facing allegations of less-than-progressive behavior from its staff union.
Jen Ramos, Jolt staff union president, speaks at a press conference on alleged unfair labor practices at Jolt Action, which bills itself as the"largest Latino progressive organization in Texas," is facing allegations of less-than-progressive behavior from its staff union, who filed two unfair labor practice claims with the National Labor Relations Board on Nov. 30.
Ramos says what used to be a staff of around 30-45 has dwindled to around 15 since the summer, and"the executive leadership team has completely liquidated itself. We no longer have a development director, communications director, everybody is leaving because of fundamental disagreements." Treviño says the two claims are"representative of the general sentiment in the organization where it feels like there's two or three people in power making decisions for everyone that are not aligned with what a lot of us believe. Jolt has a great mission and vision. I wish our leadership knew how much they're shooting themselves in the foot. Like there's not going to be a Jolt in the next year or two, if they keep acting this way.
The NLRB is overwhelmed with a backlog of case filings due to growing union activity over the last year, so Ramos doesn't expect a quick response."But the reason we have decided to go public and share our story is in hopes that people will encourage the board of directors to do the right thing, and to add pressure to the interim executive director for their bad decisions. A lot of us want to continue to do this work. We're just asking for dignity and respect to do it.
