Beyond Neutrality supports management of nonprofit organizations to respond to unionization in a way that is pro-union, anti-racist and mission-driven.

An employer who takes no position on whether or not their employees unionize may consider themselves “neutral.” They contrast this with the typical response by U.S. companies, which is to oppose unionization. In this environment, however, even neutrality gives the impression of being anti-union. To overcome an entrenched culture of white supremacy and union-busting, high-road organizations whose staff unionize go beyond neutrality and embrace a welcoming approach.
