Fastmail United USAFeb 1, 2024

Hi everyone, sorry for going so long without an update!

While Fastmail management declined to give us voluntary recognition, today we had our NLRB vote, and unionizing with CWA won with 75% of the vote! We're looking forward to negotiating a contract with Fastmail that helps ensure a safe and equitable future for everyone here!

Thanks to everyone who offered their support throughout this process!

Slack lets you open individual channels in new windows, but not whole workspaces. Even outlook lets you make as many new "main windows" as you want.
