I have said this many times but unions are uniquely good at fighting this administration bc they are some of the only institutions led by people who aren’t afraid to antagonize the rich

Condé Nast's actions are in direct violation of our contracts and of labor law. Solidarity with our unjustly fired colleagues across the company. This is not over.

A splinter group of my cute New Moms chat was formed to vent about returning-to-work stress and there’s a very high level of mutual radicalizing happening as everyone shares their overwhelm and tales of unbookable pumping rooms and rigid in-office rules… what if we all quit and form the Mommy Lobby
