Currently, at the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Plant, we are involved in a labor dispute. Despite the war, we are demanding a 20% salary rise.

They have won.
Independent Trade Union of Miners leader Yuriy Samoilov: ‘More than war fatigue, what we have is apathy. Most people no longer expect anything.’
Yuriy Samoilov provides a left-wing and trade union perspective on the Russia-Ukraine war.

Pablo Moyano, leader of the Teamsters’ union, resigned as co-chair of the General Confederation of Labor due to:

- Growing radicalism after Milei's victory
- Conflict with his father.

However, trade union connection with the Peronist party will wreak havoc on.

Some years ago I created this list, and it keeps on growing. It includes links to newspapers/journals of socialist parties in the years of the Second International (1889-1914) that are accessible online, for free.

If you know others, let me know!

I’ve been waiting for a long time for the film "Union" about the ALU victory on Staten Island to become available. Today, I finally watched it.
As a former warehouse worker from Eastern Europe, I can say that the working processes are familiar. The only difference is that Amazon has more automation.

I’ve taken on a challenge: building a list of films about unions and the labor movement. Some focus entirely on unions, while others highlight key episodes.
The list is already at 100 films, and today I’m adding 10 more.
Many are sourced from Russian researcher Vadim Bolshakov’s encyclopedia.

So, does it turn out that the new generation, having gone through the school of social activism, is now strengthening the trade unions?
At the same time, it’s worth noting that the average age of Starbucks workers is 18 to 34 years old.

With every new revitalization, there is a feeling that we are changing our approach to organizing.
All the more important, it is to study worker-to-worker organizing at Starbucks.

"Most union strategists said that it was a fool’s errand; they would never get to a first contract".
Thoughtful & tough reflection on next steps for labor:
"We can’t afford to turn down any of the 52 percent of non-union workers who say that...they would vote to join a union today..This effort will require unions to radically rethink their organizing strategy"

Until unions open the gates, they won't deliver working-class voters to Democrats.
