This guy is viewed as a top liberal-left influencer in Minneapolis and he only shops at anti-union, anti-worker, anti-food Geman conglomerate Aldi. Ridiculous

Twin City Tanning workers who face hazardous conditions and exposure to chemicals are on strike! They're demanding fair wages and good-faith bargaining. The workforce is largely immigrants, and at a rally Tuesday, interpreters were speaking in Spanish, English, and Karen. New from Amie Stager.

minnesotareformer.com/2025/10/10/s... It's too bad Fateh didn't actually leave the DFL over the Gaza Genocide, as that would have been a really brave and exciting move. Instead he stayed in the caucus and is now running a pretty moderate and uninspiring run for mayor.

Starbucks told workers not to write Charlie Kirk’s name on cups and then told Fox News they didn’t have a policy prohibiting it. Now workers are being doxxed online.

Glad to see labor mobilizing against the troops in DC. Credit to grassroots opposition to Trump for making this possible!

DC communities are under attack. Federal troops, out-of-state National Guard, and Trump-controlled police are harassing, surveilling, and detaining Black and Brown residents, immigrants, youth, and unhoused neighbors. Join our march and demand federal forces leave DC NOW!

Do we always have to be so obtuse?
NYT: Border Patrol Agents Show Up in Force at Newsom Rally The armed agents assembled outside the Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom of California was speaking. The mayor called it "a provocative act." 2 MIN READ [captioned video of the incident, with caption circled for emphasis] “It was not immediately clear whether the agents were patrolling the neighborhood or were part of a targeted operation.”

This is precisely why labor is all-in on this year's Park Board races: Parks leadership is virulently anti-labor. MPRB unilaterally changed its parental leave policy, seemingly in 2022, but never enforced it until fall 2024 when they went after the mother of a preterm baby for $13k
The Park Board said she would be on the hook for giving back all the money she received on maternity leave if she did not return to work for at least four weeks. Medeiros said she was surprised to learn of the requirement, which no one had brought up before she took leave. “It was scary to think that we would have to not only pay back this massive bill, but on top of our hospital bills,” Medeiros told the Minnesota Star Tribune. “I was very shocked, because had I known that, I probably would have made different decisions, and it was very stressful on our family the first few months.” She asked to use her accrued sick and vacation time as she tried to find child care, according to emails submitted with the unfair labor practice complaint. The Park Board denied those requests, terminated her employment and sent Medeiros an invoice for $13,403. In May, the Park Board’s lawyers followed up with a letter warning Medeiros they would file a claim in small claims court if she did not pay. The Laborers’ Union Local 363, which represents parkkeepers, arborists and other park maintenance workers, responded with a complaint to the Minnesota Public Employment Relations Board. The union alleged the Park Board implemented a unilateral change to its paid parental leave policy without notifying the union and providing an opportunity to bargain. “They certainly never sent [the policy] to us,” said Local 363 business manager AJ Lange. “They’ve never enforced this rule before. I did a data request. They confirmed that they don’t have any records of enforcing it, so they seem set on making an example of her.”

Dumb racist decision by two racist, dumb parties (GOP +DFL). Happy that some spoke out against this.
Minnesota Legislature votes to strip health care from adult undocumented immigrants
Republicans said the state could not afford to keep providing coverage for more than 20,000 immigrants. Democrats accused Republicans of leaving people “out to die.”

A massive supermarket strike is brewing, with 150,000 workers moving toward a walkout.

56,000 workers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon have voted to authorize strikes at Albertsons and Kroger.

Grocery workers across Colorado have also authorized a strike, and more could follow.
