Turning union-supporting workers into unionized workers is key to fighting Supreme Court sabotage. #OrganizedLabor will give fighters like Abruzzo the political cover she needs to Get Shit Done.

Kentucky Autoworkers at Ford Are Preparing for a Strike
Contract negotiations are ongoing between the United Auto Workers and the Big Three automakers — Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. Last month, 500 UAW members at the Ford plant in Louisville, Kentucky, held rallies in preparation for a potential strike.

"Tech determinists want us to believe that new technologies are inevitable and we can’t possibly shape or stop them; the best we can do is prepare for what’s in store. But I think most people realize that’s self-serving industry propaganda from people who want to keep deciding which technologies should be developed and how they should be deployed instead of relinquishing that power to the public."

@danielpunkass should, sure. But we’re talking about a company which was found to engage in illegal union busting among its own employees, and hired the same union busting law firm that Amazon and Starbucks use. Tim Cook isn’t a friend to organized labor. #unionizedifferent #apple #labor #sagaftra #unionbusting #organizedlabor

More business leaders need to wake up and realize that unions are not the enemy. Unions create highly motivated,
engaged, skilled, dedicated employees with lower turnover. Bravo to Ben & Jerry's for bucking the trend.

One of Many Giant Beetles · @ohmu
43 followers · 787 posts · Server social.seattle.wa.usA thing I've learned:
Educating my fellow public sector employees about organized labor took years and great patience. This is because it's not teaching new concepts. It is, instead, helping liberals like myself unlearn the mythology of worker-employer harmony.
Then, the employer did something dumb and the result was the most satisfying effort of my life. I helped organize hundreds.
