“Since 2024, we have grown to over 100k members, increased union coverage across workplaces, and almost 50,000 workers have signed our ‘Better Deal’ pledge,” he continued. 

Kevin encouraged members to continue recruiting and gathering signatures. He said: “Every last worker counts. The more people who sign the pledge, the better our leverage and the better the deal we will get in the end.”
