Charlestown, MA — The Elizabeth Warren for President Campaign and IBEW 2320 reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement on Friday evening. The union negotiators will recommend that the union ratify the contract this week.

“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 Elizabeth 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 members of the IBEW 2320 Bargaining team representing workers from the Warren campaign are pleased to announce, we have reached a tentative agreement with the campaign,” said Steve Soule, Business Manager of IBEW Local 2320. “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. 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, again I want to thank the members of the bargaining team for their dedication to this process.

Details of the agreement are as follows:

The base compensation for organizers on the campaign is $4,175 a month. This includes a base travel stipend and a monthly cell phone stipend, that all members of the union will also receive. Organizers will work 60 hours a week with a guarantee of one day off per week. They will have 15 paid vacation days and paid holidays. Health care benefits remain as they have been for the entire campaign: the campaign pays 100 percent of health care.
