ActBlue, the nonprofit group behind the fundraising platform used by numerous Democratic politicians and organizations, was accused by a union representing its workers on Monday of not living up to “progressive values” after the organization laid off 17% of its workforce.
Democratic fundraising juggernaut ActBlue slashed 17 percent of its workforce on Monday, less than two months after its union gleefully announced it had struck a landmark collective bargaining agreement with the company that raised the bar on how employees should be treated.
ActBlue, which has laid off dozens of employees in an effort to streamline operating costs, is now facing criticism from a union that represents its staff.
