Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

YES, I ordered something online from Best Buy and it was delivered by a DoorDasher couple with a little girl, about 4 years old, sleeping in the backseat and their whole car filled with boxes. It was a huge bummer and I would have bought elsewhere if I'd known. I hate DoorDash.

I would like to go on the record and say that this new trend of companies hiring Doordash instead of UPS for regular package deliveries is gross.
Also, the fact that UPS apparently owns one of these companies ("Roadie") feels like something the Teamsters would have thoughts about...
