The best part about unions?
It’s not just about the members. It’s not just the collective bargaining, or having a process and representation in contract disputes.
It’s not just the community or sense of belonging.
It’s that strong unions move policy, they change the world

But what happens when conservatives are no longer conservative but are anarchists who want to burn the world down. He didn’t put it that starkly but that’s the gist. People whose instinct is to want change are left having to defend the institutions they would reform. The world is turned on its head.

The solution to closing the wage gap runs through the labor movement.

Organize, fight for economic justice, and demand equal pay.

Regulations save lives. Without unions to push back on corporate greed, corporate interest will always end in loss of worker life or at very least, loss of quality of life.

Today, we remember the 146 lives lost in the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.

Many were members of one of our predecessor unions, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union.

When those who oversee the regulation of industries also benefit from a lack of regulations in those industries, the system is broken. When those who control the funds held by a party also benefit from where those funds go, the system is broken.
The worst part? It’s all intentional, it’s by design.
Oh...that's an interesting development, isn't it.

All the more reason to get out and make our voices heard.

@sbworkersunited.org I signed the pledge but am feeling out of the loop. What are the parameters of the No Contract, No Coffee pledge? Is it a boycott of only non-union stores? Is it a full boycott? If so, what needs to happen before we go back to support the workers at our favorite union stores?

Every casino and resort on the Vegas Strip is now 100% union.

The Culinary and Bartenders Unions have reached an agreement with Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and for the first time in the 90-year history of the strip every establishment is totally unionized.

1/ There is a dichotomy of meaning on the right when they say “big government”. It used to refer to the amount of power it holds over the people. To MAGA leadership it is the size of the workforce. The number of people earning tax dollars that they want to pocket for themselves.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

1 hour into the day and the NASDAQ is down nearly 2.25%. The worst part? This will hurt the middle class the most. Between increased layoffs and losses in assets for retail investors while billionaires have been shorting the market. Yet another major transfer of wealth from bottom to top.

UPDATE: When the LA wildfires began earlier this month, Starbucks baristas reported working in unsafe conditions, with one store's video going viral on social media.

In response, these workers organized and fought back - and later won catastrophe pay. Hear their story below 👇

Trump has rolled back a Biden order that mandated negotiations to the lower cost of drugs for people using Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicare had just announced 15 more drugs whose prices they were going to bring down in negotiations with Big Pharma.

As a former barista, I'm so proud of these workers trying to unionize!
Starbucks backtracked on our path forward, failing to support the workers who are central to the company’s turnaround.

Sign & share the No Contract No Coffee pledge to show them that not bargaining higher wages and better benefits for union baristas is bad for business!

A feeling of belonging, a sense of support, and the knowledge that I am not alone. Recognizing that my actions mean something and affect those around me, and being aware of the impact that my efforts have on championing my people.

These are some of the many benefits of unions!

Our union went on the biggest Starbucks ULP strike in history right before the holidays, and as we head into 2025, we’ll keep fighting until Starbucks bargains a fair contract with us.

Make no mistake — this was just the beginning. ✊🔥 Happy New Year!
