My #HOTLABORSUMMER news is that last week, the National Labor Relations board called me, informing me that they found several of the ULP's filed by my union,
@defenders_staff and @OPEIULocal2, had merit, including my retaliatory termination. (A thread)

The war in Gaza has been conducted almost entirely with American weapons and $18 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
We cannot continue to be complicit in this war by supplying more military aid and weaponry to the Netanyahu government. Congress must act to block these arms sales.
Proud subscriber of @jacobin which I think is the only legit media source anymore. If you only read one thing today, let it be this. It is everything. jacobin.com/2024/10/gaza-dem…
Boo! Part two of organizing your workplace will be in person at @PALF_AFLCIO in October! Bring a dish to share, and questions about unionizing your workplace! Open to all (and free) except for bosses.

The @audubonsociety has responded by claiming the NLRB is unconstitutional, echoing a fringe conservative anti-union argument made by Elon Musk in response to labor law violations
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
The National Labor Relations Board has *officially* charged @audubonsociety with breaking labor law and discriminating against union members cwa-union.org/news/releases/…

This is horrendous. An environmental organization challenging bedrock labor law hurts both working people and the ecosystems we rely on.
NEWS: @audubonsociety is challenging the constitutionality of labor law in response to the @NLRB complaint that found management committed several Unfair Labor Practices.
Audubon CEO @DrElizabethGray joins Elon Musk and others in this anti-union approach. cwa-union.org/news/releases/…
Thanks @Tykee_James for being a real one - unafraid to hold those in power accountable. I celebrate you and the unions we helped organize this Labor Day weekend. Remember, kids - the bosses don't benevolently give you benefits, workers like us fought for them! #unionstrong
Green Union Hall comrades (@ml_bejjani @dnnynnn and more!) will be offering a virtual happy hour in August, including some celebrations of @WesternWorkers and @PWUnion1 !

Today UAW leaders and rank-and-file members, along with the National Labor Network for Ceasefire, joined the mass mobilization in Washington, DC to oppose Netanyahu’s visit, and to call for an end to all US military aid to this war.

+1 point to @GovTimWalz for calling Republicans weird. This is a message that should be widely adapted. Are they dangerous? Yes, but they're also fucking absurd.
#Tucson you asked, so I'm delivering! With support in the form of a space from @PALF_AFLCIO, come workers of all stripes to learn how to organize your workplace!

Happy #NationalLibraryWorkersDay! Librarians are indispensable members of our communities who deserve to have good, union jobs.
Holy. Shit. This is the most poignant thing I've read in a long time.
Why has the ACLU, one of the most iconic liberal organizations in America, been waging war against its workers? @hamiltonnolan explains.

Our members took jobs at the Sierra Club to *FIGHT* venture capitalists and the "corporate vibes" that are destroying our climate, and the lands and rivers that our communities rely on 😩😩😩
I wrote about the Sierra Club's restructuring process, "corporate vibe" and rumors that as many as 100 people could be laid off months into union negotiations newrepublic.com/article/1804…
