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.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This flew by my radar this week, but massively important: the 5th circuit court of appeals ruled that the NLRB’s structure unconstitutional.
It is a huge blow to “American workers who hope to organize their workplaces without fear of retaliation. It represents a partial negation of the New Deal…”

All labor is skilled labor and every worker deserves dignity, respect, and a living wage. Unions ftw!
Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.
Now she's a member of HTC.
Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Your daily wisdom from the local labor economist: ALL WORK HAS VALUE. THE COMPENSATION PAID TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF WORK DOES NOT REFLECT UPON A PERSONS VALUE AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. FOR INSTANCE, CEO’s DESTROY COMMUNITIES AND ARE PAID HANDSOMELY FOR IT.

GOOD MORNING FROM THE TRAIN!!
