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 https://popularresistance.org/seiu-and-the-carpenters-still-changing-to-win-or-changing-the-wrong-way/ #union #seiu #ChangeToWin #carpenters #UNITEHERE #Laborers

That dynamic is in sharp focus in #UniteHereLocal11's strike against #OrangeCounty's #LagunaCliffsMarriottResort.

The #UNITEHERE strike turns on the usual issues like a living wage (hotel staff are paid so little they have to rent rooming-house beds *by the shift*, paying for the right to sleep in a room for a few hours at a time, without any permanent accommodation).

"Southern California hotel workers ... voted overwhelmingly to authorize their leaders to call a strike if their employers don’t agree to major wage boosts in contract negotiations covering 15,000 workers in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

The authorization was approved by 96% of those who voted, Unite Here Local 11 said Thursday night. If a contract agreement isn’t reached, a strike could begin as early as the Fourth of July weekend and would be the largest in modern U.S. history, the union said."

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️

1,000 fast-food workers at San Francisco International Airport are on strike.

Most of us haven't had a raise in three years, and we're tired of working two or even three jobs just to survive. So we're fighting back.
