Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together.

But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union busting.

If baristas go on ULP strike, our response is simply DON’T BUY STARBUCKS.

He better not let us down
Nearly 70% of NYC voters — including majorities of Cuomo and Adams supporters — are in favor of Zohran's plan to freeze the rent for almost 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.

Pennie n Mark couldn’t throw me out of office with Section 22 charges or police, so she just bans me from representing members, bans me from her Executive Bored meetings. Basically , she has UNELECTED me

If this offends you, let her and the International President know!

Here’s something you may not know exists at the CTA: Single, CTA workers that do 40+ hours a week, but depend on Medicaid and Food Stamps.

Join me and others at the NO LAYOFFS of Public Transit Workers! protest

I am going to Go!

Thank Heavens, no police were called in the crashing of this parade. I don't mean to be a pest, but my coworkers and I deserve to have #PaidSickLeave AND Short-Term Disability, just like the CTA president. We definitely don't deserve to be punished and fired when we get sick.

I am not going to be silent about what is going on at the CTA. My coworkers are suffering physical and mental harm on a daily basis. youtu.be/C5ELxJ9eejY

Hate me if you want, but Trxmp has nothing to do with our responsibility to take control over our communities, schools and workplaces.

Neither does any other elected dope in a suit.
