Well I successfully cancelled my pledge and got this response from the ACLU. Reads very PR-y to me and not sure how to feel about it
Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
The ACLU is a free speech organization, at heart. We wholeheartedly support labor unions, the right to organize, the right to free speech, and with it – the right of workers to criticize the organization. It only makes the organization stronger.
We are gravely disappointed by recent press that suggests otherwise, and we are working with them to address mistakes in coverage.
The first collective bargaining unit in ACLU headquarters was established in the 1970s, and we have had a productive, decades-long relationship with that union. We voluntarily recognized our second collective bargaining unit in 2021 without any opposition. ACLU management values its workers and provides essential benefits to employees, including a living wage for the lowest paid staff members of more than $70,000.
We are not challenging the NLRB, nor are we challenging the authority of NLRB’s General Counsel. The NLRB website now contains the accurate legal document to reflect this.
I want to assure you that the ACLU’s integrity remains intact.
Please know that we greatly value your partnership and hope that you continue your critical support of the ACLU.
