Today we celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day. On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned they were free. Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the ongoing fight for true freedom and equality.

For us as union members, Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that the fight for justice and dignity never ends. The struggles for civil rights and labor rights have always been connected.

When we celebrate Juneteenth, we also renew our commitment to solidarity. When we stand shoulder to shoulder as working people of every race and background, we move closer to the promise of freedom, equality, and justice for all.

Hello Everyone -- We have an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Please read the statement below. We are so proud of what we have accomplished as a union. Thank you to everyone who has stood in solidarity with us over the years!

Today we ratified a closing agreement with eBay/TCGplayer with a unanimous vote. After several intensive days of bargaining, sustained pressure from your boycott, and the solidarity of our members, we were able to win a substantially improved severance package for TCGplayer workers.

This package includes:
- 20 weeks severance pay with an additional $2.50/hr above current wages for everyone within the bargaining unit, more than double what we were originally offered
- 6 months of COBRA medical coverage paid for by the company
- 7 months of continued mental health benefits
- $1,250 ratification bonus for everyone in the bargaining unit

This severance agreement makes sure that our members will land firmly on their feet as we all move forward. We are so grateful for the support the TCG community has shown us, and we would not have made it this far without you all. Thank you for standing with us in solidarity and being such great allies in our fight.

In this time of extreme inequality, it is more important than ever for the working class to organize. TCGunion-CWA built collective power for hundreds of workers in Syracuse, joining together to fight for fair treatment for all. We fought back against a multi-billion dollar corporation, changing our understanding of the power we wield, and we will carry that with us forever.

eBay could only beat our union by closing down the entire Authentication Center and leaving town. We live in a time of unchecked corporate power, and still we brought them to the table again and again. From Syracuse to Louisville, workers everywhere deserve rights, respect, and dignity on the job. As long as we don’t stop fighting for it, we will win.

In solidarity,
TCGunion-CWA
