NEW: Hundreds of tenants have launched the largest rent strike in decades.
They're demanding a 3% national rent cap, collective rent bargaining, and more.
These Kansas City tenants aren't just targeting their landlords, they're aiming at how the government treats renters.

And another thing! The U. of California’s TRO flouts CA’s Little Norris-LaGuardia anti-injunction act. On either UAW’s (ULP strike) or UC’s (political strike) view, the narrow "Boys Markets" exception wouldn’t apply, even if CA follows the feds. Details 👇 onlabor.org/the-uc-strike-in…
