Employees of the Millenium Challenge Corporation, or MCC, have voted to form a union, a move fueled by widespread discontent over the development agency’s return to office policy and then grew to encompass salaries and equity for women and people of color.
Over 90% of the employees who participated in the election, which took place over the holiday period late last year, voted to form a union. They are represented by the American Federation of Government Employees, or AFGE, which has 750,000 members.
MCC, which has about 300 employees, has not publicly acknowledged the existence of the union.
