National Braille Press Workers Seek Union Recognition

Workers at the National Braille Press (NBP) in Boston have publicly announced their effort to form a union with IUE-CWA Local 201. On September 3, 2026, employees marched to NBP leadership to request voluntary recognition of their union, aiming to secure a stronger voice in the workplace and improvements that would support both the workforce and NBP's mission. Founded in 1927, NBP produces braille books and educational materials for the blind and visually impaired community. The unionization effort has garnered support from an overwhelming majority of the workforce, reflecting a collective desire for enhanced working conditions and organizational sustainability.
