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.

Last fall, UAW put out a call for unions to align their contracts to expire on the same day: May Day, 2028. I looked into the organizing happening in response. My take is that credible sectors of the labor movement are taking this call seriously. workdaymagazine.org/the-call…

CIR physicians of @gwuniversity are sick and tired of management’s delays and refuse to sit back and just ask for change. We are united by our solidarity with each other and with our patients, and we will not hesitate to ESCALATE until our demands are met!

WGA members at Sesame Workshop are prepared to strike. 🪧 The unit voted UNANIMOUSLY - with 100% participation - to authorize a strike if management does not reach a fair new contract before their current agreement expires this Friday, April 19.

🎉CREDIT CARD TIPPING IS FINALLY HERE🗣️‼️ From the very beginning of our campaign in 2021, our union has demanded the ability to tip by card- and now, we're seeing credit card tipping rollout across the country. CONGRATS to the 10,000+ union partners who fought HARD for this ✊
Last month, SBWU and Starbucks announced that we were in discussions to develop a foundational framework for organizing and bargaining. We're happy to announce workers in affected stores that have previously been withheld benefits will finally have access to them! 🎉✊
