National Domestic Workers Alliance Union Members Vote 93% to Authorize Strike Amid Retaliatory, Inhumane Layoffs
New York, N.Y. – Union workers at the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 1180, announced today that an overwhelming majority of union members have authorized a strike in response to abrupt, retaliatory layoffs and bad-faith bargaining by NDWA leadership. With 95 percent participation, the union has voted to authorize a strike with a 93 percent YES vote.
“I’ve been a member and leader in the South Bay Chapter since 2020, and I’ve seen how it transforms cleaners, nannies, and caregivers — teaching us our rights and giving us the confidence to stand up for ourselves and our communities. It is very unfair that after so many achievements, they would put our Chapter at risk. I support the strike authorization vote because protecting NDWA staff means protecting our South Bay Chapter and the domestic workers’ movement we’ve worked so hard to build.”
- Balvina Ramirez, domestic worker and South Bay Chapter leader
