@millersvilleu why are you outsourcing our work? After sixty years of caring for our students and serving as frontline workers during Covid 19, you’ve decided to terminate our employment. That’s union-busting.
Abolish the @NLRB; replace it with a workers state.
This is WILD. The @NLRB Region 10 board (which covers GA, KY, and Ala.) has ordered the @MineWorkers to pay $13.3 MILLION in costs to coal bosses Warrior Met, where workers have been on strike for the past 16 months. If upheld, this will hurt all U.S. workers’ ability to strike
ALT The United Mine Workers of America today made it clear that it will vigorously challenge an outrageous assessment of damages made by the National Labor Relations Board Region 10 regarding the UMWA’s 16-month strike against Warrior Met Coal in Alabama. The union entered into a settlement agreement in June with NLRB Region 10 regarding charges the company had made about picket line activity in order to save striking members and families from days of hostile questioning by company lawyers. On July 22, the NLRB sent the union a detailed list of damages totaling $13.3 million dollars, more than 33 times the estimated amount NLRB lawyers had initially indicated would be assessed

How has L.A. spent their American Rescue Plan Act funds? According to a new report from the CAO, LA received $1.08 billion. Nearly 2/3 ($696 million) went to LAPD & LAFD salaries. About $240 million went to other dpts to cover salaries. $0 went to housing and shelters. @LATACO
Inexcusable silence from @LALabor on 41.18. Everyone deserves basic respect and dignity. Labor under the threat of homelessness and starvation is not free or voluntary, and threat of material ruin is an unavoidable obstacle to solidarity and working class power.
Solidarity with the unhoused everywhere. Our unhoused neighbors ultimately face these conditions because the capitalists controlling our government refuse to provide everyone with the basic necessities for a dignified life - THAT is the true danger.

Starbucks continues to claim that unionized partners are not "eligible" to receive the new benefits being rolled out, despite us forfeiting our right to bargain over these benefits being implemented in unionized stores.
@Starbucks @HowardSchultz It's time
to follow the law.

Sweeps don't end homelessness - they're a barrier to solving it.
When people are pushed around, they lose access to services as providers can't find them.
When the city confiscates people's posessions, they don't stop being homeless.
IT'S OFFICIAL: The 41.18 expansion is back on the City Council agenda for Tuesday, August 2nd.
See you all at City Hall at 9:00am. (Try to get there at 8:30am if you can.)

ALT white protest poster leaning against a wall. in blue marker in all caps, it says "REPEAL 41.18." beneath in red caps: "STOP CRIMINALIZING THE UNHOUSED"
You have the right to organize at work, and our DMs are open to any and all workers - no matter how many - who would like a training on those rights from experienced labor attorneys.
The #UnionsForAll movement is continuing to grow! It’s time for elected leaders to support workers around the world as they demand fair pay and basic worker rights and protections. #RaiseTheWage #UnionsForAll

Ran into a fella at the bank with his car dripped out in union vibes @UnionDrip
We need a coalition of environmental, racial justice, and labor activists to bring this city to a standstill unless and until we see real action to make a zero carbon LA within a just, equitable framework. We have to reimagine not just safety, but prosperity, work, and leisure.
"What appears in prospect like apocalypse often grows into something more like grim normality by the time it actually arrives. That isn’t a sign of progress but of a sociopathic culture-wide capacity for normalization and compartmentalization."

Under federal law, employers can legally pay employees with disabilities less than the current $7.25/hr minimum wage. California has the opportunity to end this practice and ensure people with disabilities can move towards independence a living wage: goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntim…

Vons and Albertsons stores in California just laid off every one of their full-time, union delivery drivers, and will replace them with DoorDash gig workers who receive no benefits as a direct result of Prop 22. buff.ly/358CR6Z

Please don't confuse having access to power with actually having power or being effective. The first one doesn't accomplish anything. Change requires action.

.@AOC made a play for a seat on the Energy and Commerce committee, which covers climate. She was ousted by Reps with close ties to oil/gas. Dems moan about infighting but are cool w/ pulling these kind of moves against the left. Country worse off bc of people in their feelings!!!
