Good for who? Join a union.
ALT Marketwatch opinion article with the headline Americans may have to start working younger and retire older. That might be a good thing.
We in the Avodah Staff Union love how many staffs of non-profit orgs, Jewish and general, have been unionizing over the past few years. May the wave continue to grow until all non-profit workers are unionized!
We believe in Repairing the World, and that has to start within our workplace. Follow this link to read more and sign on to support us in solidarity:linktr.ee/werepair.union

At Repair we believe in SOLIDARITY. It is this value that empowers us to stand together to ensure our collective needs are met.

At Repair we believe in JUSTICE!!! It is this value that gives us the strength to desire that workers have a real say in policies that impact our health and wellbeing.

At Repair we believe in strengthening each other. It is this value that empowers our union, with staff across depts and communities to join together, connect, and advocate for better working conditions for all of us.

At Repair we believe in a both/and perspective. It is this value that allows us to recognize that management has taken steps to make our workplace more just, and we also know that these changes have not given workers meaningful say.

At Repair we believe in the preciousness of each human. It is this value that drives us to push for the right to rest, rejuvenation, and a real work/life balance.

WHY are we unionizing? Because it aligns with our mission and values! At Repair we believe in action and learning. It is this value that drives us to learn and take steps to improve our workplace.
Mazal tov to our friends on staff of Repair the World (some of whom are Avodahniks!) on their formation of a union! We urge RTW management to recognize this union voluntarily, as Avodah's did, and to negotiate a great contract for the workers in good faith. Solidarity!
WELCOME to Repair the World Workers Union! As Repair employees, we find deep meaning in Jewish values and it is precisely those values that move us to unionize. We are excited to share more below! Stand with us! Learn more and express your support: linktr.ee/werepair.union

Things Starbucks claims they have don’t have to bargain over: slashing our hours.

Petty much, @Starbucks?

Great to see some media attention on @Fox32News for the workers at @JUFChicago agencies.
These @SEIU73 members provide crucial services—but they’re underpaid and understaffed. We support them as they push for a fair contract!

There is no labor shortage for jobs that pay workers fairly. Isn’t it funny how that works?

Best wishes to our @ueunion sibling @NorthwesternGW as they go into their election this fine morning! Let's reclaim Chicago as a union town. #yesNUGW

Starbucks brands itself as a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Starbucks has weaponized benefits, like gender-affirming care, to intimidate & bully pro-union workers. youtu.be/Gqg3P7-YGyM
