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

This is a really good piece on history of SEIU and the now no longer existing Change To Win but goes into a lot that is worth reading and a good critique of top down union leadership and the importance of member lead reform movements popularresistance.org/seiu-and

Usually, market regulation is used to protect consumers, not workers.

So it’s interesting that unions in the US have filed an antitrust complaint against a giant hospital firm, claiming the company is using its market power against workers.

«The complaint describes nurses who are given heavier workloads than nurses at other hospitals, creating concerns over patient safety […]»

Any other joining in for its ?

I've worked as a laborer, certificated teacher, and aide in the public school system. There's pressure on all sides.

The right move is: avoid picket lines like you would an apex predator.

Good op-ed by and on how wealthy corporations are using deceptive tactics to undo two California laws.

Likewise, some voters signing the fast food corporations’ referendum were enticed by the idea of raising workers’ wages, when it actually limits workers’ ability to negotiate."

We watched the strike unfold in Canada on our 8" B&W tv. It was over by the time we got home.

Solidarity with the , and all others in the sphere of influence. Its heartening to see y'all back in the game.

Be sure to publish what you do and don't want people to do.
