VIDEO: Seattle Starbucks workers are on strike right now, trying to achieve their first contract to secure a living wage, proper staffing and good working conditions.
I spoke to Emma Cox, a barista at the U District Starbucks who’s helping lead the picket line at her store.

There's a great opportunity to learn about the future of light rail in Seattle this Monday.
Light rail expansion supports thousands of good union jobs and is key to our region's infrastructure. With ST facing funding hurdles, we must find ways to deliver these projects on time.

We represent nearly 1,500 dining workers on tech campuses in WA and OR at Google, Microsoft, and Meta. All these workers secured union recognition through a card check process just like workers are now asking from Lavish Roots. The countdown to our deadline of Dec 1 continues!

Workers (mostly skilled artisans) building a tomb in the Valley of the Kings during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III laid down their tools and walked off the job to protest late or missing wage-rations. After a series of strikes, they received a raise and back-pay!
