National Park Rangers have gone public with their unionization effort:
An image of Yosemite National Park (I think) with the text "Rangers are unionizing because protecting workers means protecting the parks."

@fedworkersunited.bsky.social will host an "ICE OUT OF OUR WORKPLACE" informational picket in front of the federal building in Seattle on 6/25 @ 4:30pm
ICE out of our workplace ICE out of all workplaces ICE is targeting the most vulnerable members of our society at their own workplaces and at ours. As federal workers witnessing these abuses, we've been asked to look the other way. We will not. Join us to demand: An end to ICE raids and arrests in all workplaces. Due process for all and an end to expedited removals. Federal buildings made safe and accessible for all. Protection for those seeking government services and the workers who serve them. Informational picket June 25, 2025 at 4:30pm Jackson Federal Building, 915 2nd Ave, Seattle Federal Unionists Network (FUN)

Posted today at 5:50pm. This was a @uniteherelocal8.bsky.social shop in negotiations for their first contract.
Screenshot of a post on r/Seattle by Imaginary-Hamster-74 The CEO of the Space Needle & Chihuly Decided to lay off the entire photo department today Community I’m beyond frustrated and disappointed. The CEO of the Space Needle sent out a memo today, saying that the photo department from the Space Needle & Chihuly are going to be laid off, effective the last week of May, signed by the CEO of the Needle. This was a small department, that had been trying to unionize for more than 6 months, nearly at the finish line to sign their contract. Many of the people in this department had been working there for more than 3-5 years. This goes to show their solely profit driven, anti-union heartlessness that goes directly against what they should be doing, serving the community. How disappointing. CEO must need a new mansion I guess 🤷‍♂️
