Code for America and CfA Workers United Reach Tentative Collective Bargaining Agreement

Code for America and CfA Workers United are pleased to announce we have reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that reflects our shared commitment to our staff, our mission, and the people we serve. The agreement will now go to the members for a vote.

After several months of negotiations, the new agreement preserves the central tenets of the groundbreaking first CBA, including remote work, health insurance options, open PTO and a strong and flexible 401(k) plan. The agreement also includes an annual budget for professional development, AI training, fertility and adoption benefits and paid parental leave.

“Our work is more important than ever, and it’s powered by the people at the heart of our organization – product and program managers, engineers, designers, researchers and client success staff – who work shoulder-to-shoulder with government partners and clients every day,” said Amanda Renteria, CEO of Code for America. “We’re excited to continue the critical work of making public benefits more accessible to the individuals and families that need them.”

“We look forward to moving ahead together with clarity, stability and a continued focus on our mission: making government work well for everyone,” Renteria continued.

“CfA Workers United is pleased to have avoided a strike while coming to an agreement that preserves health care benefits, a major priority for our bargaining unit,” said Zachary Antoyan, a CfA Workers United bargaining committee member. “We look forward to getting back to our important work and improving government services across the country.”
