RAICES Union Contract Includes Major Wins for Workers at the Immigration Nonprofit
The Texas Public Radio article reports on the historic ratification of a new union contract between RAICES and its staff, represented by RAICES Workers United. This milestone agreement marks a significant victory for labor rights within the nonprofit sector, securing major wins such as substantial wage increases, enhanced healthcare benefits, and more robust work-life balance protections. RAICES leadership and the union emphasized that these improvements are essential for reducing staff burnout and ensuring the long-term sustainability of their legal advocacy and immigrant services. By prioritizing worker retention and equitable pay, RAICES aims to strengthen its organizational capacity to serve asylum seekers and undocumented communities while setting a progressive standard for nonprofit management and collective bargaining in Texas.
