The ABA Worker's Union held its first general meeting today.
We aim to establish a union for all workers in Applied Behavior Analysis. Workers from Florida, Oregon, California, Oregon, and New Jersey met to discuss the current state of the field, discuss past and current unionization efforts in the field, and make a plan for future meetings and workgroups.
In future meetings, we'll discuss creating a technician/paraprofessional/RBT workgroup, a BCaBA workgroup, a BCBA workgroup, and a coordinating committee to unify the effort across all three certification tiers in ABA. We are coordinating a social media push across platforms to reach out to more workers and continue to gather and answer questions about unionization efforts in this field.
We need your help. As we continue to grow, each worker that enters the fold increases our ability to connect with more workers and build a network of resilient organizers dedicated to changing the playing field for all workers in Applied Behavior Analysis.
Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Your union, for all ABA workers!
