Organized labor is celebrating the life and legacy of Dolly Parton, who championed working women and carried a union card for almost 60 years. bit.ly/4xiy91p

I’ve led chants on more picket lines than I can count … but never one where my daughter was one of the strike captains! #DadLander, indeed. Solidarity with the striking public defenders, paralegals, investigators (a little extra ♥️ for them) & social workers at @bds_union @alaa2325. They deserve a contract with pay, benefits & respect that reflect the way they pour their hearts & their labor into fighting for everyone in Brooklyn & Queens to get equal justice under law.

The Brooklyn Defender Services Union is on strike. We are striking for a fair contract that makes our work sustainable. We call on management to come back to the table immediately so we can return to serving our neighbors. Learn more: instagram.com/bds_union/

BREAKING: New York has passed #Prop1! New Yorkers used their vote to permanently protect abortion statewide, and showed up for LGBTQ, immigrant, and disabled New Yorkers by approving the most progressive and comprehensive state Equal Rights Amendment in the country.

Vote like your paid leave depends on it. Vote like your workplace rights depend on it. Vote like your overtime pay depends on it. Vote like your union depends on it. Because they do.

so you admit it? you admit that members of the nyt tech guild provide a vital public service at a consequential moment for our country?
NYT publisher AG Sulzberger emails the Times newsroom saying the NYT Tech Guild strike will likely continue through the election. He says it is “troubling that the Tech Guild would try to block this public service at such a consequential moment for our country.”

It’s embarrassing that New York Times management broke federal labor law and pushed for a strike on Election Day. They were warned 2 months ago this would happen and instead decided to hurt NYT’s coverage. I will always stand with @NYTGuildTech
Replying to @Nate_Cohn
As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.

join your local mutual aid groups. if you don’t have time, donate to them. if you don’t have cash to spare, reach out to them and figure out how you can support. there’s nothing stopping you from building the world you want to see every day of the year.
How do you plan to build the world you want to see after the elections?

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today: – Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.  – Don’t share things before checking your sources.  – Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

If you’re in CA or NV and you need another reason to vote this year, here it is. There’s a measure on your ballot to protect incarcerated people from SLAVERY — vote yes. Maybe we can stop assaults on incarcerated women that result directly from their inability to refuse to work.

Waffle House workers, at the front lines of disasters, are demanding more. The 24-hour chain famously stays open come hell or high water (inspiring FEMA’s Waffle House Index), but pays workers as little as $3 an hour inthesetimes.com/article/waf…

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

🚨BREAKING; NYTimes tech workers are on ULP strike. Don't cross the line. No wordle, mini, connections, or spelling bee. It's time for @nytimes to sit down and get this resolved. TODAY. And if they don't, get your results tomorrow night from @DecisionDeskHQ, or another outlet
This just in: "The @NYTGuildTech – the union that powers the technology behind election coverage at The New York Times – has walked off the job in a ULP strike that threatens Election Day."
