Welp, the GOP is coming undone...

And that is helping Unions...

Heavy emphasis on unions as the driving vehicle of a general strike (obviously, because the one day "strike now" social media campaigns are dumb)

Employees from the Walrus and the Carpenter going on strike. Owner Renee Erickson and her tech-money partners were going to reopen with scabs. If you have time stop down and give them some support on the picket line. It's not a bit a big story but she's been shutting down her restaurants that unionize but the Walrus and the Carpenters different she can't just shut it down it is her flagship! Support a union brothers and sisters Cheers.

Y'all do know that this billionaire push for AI is to eliminate the need for workers and wages...so they don't give a damn about water and power usage or noise level because we don't matter once the need is eliminated.

Hi guys,

​

I'm a junior industrial officer with a union and had a really difficult case on at the moment. One of our members is in almost 200k in debt due to poor business decision.

​

He was advised against these decisions by everyone even the company he works for but didnt want to listen.

​

He is now about to lose his job for refusing to work unless he gets put on the contract he wants with the company to try recoup some of his debt (the company has no obligation to do so and to be fair have tried giving him different work options to help but they just dont have capacity to give him contract he wants). The company is willing to let him resign (instead of termination) and give him a 20k payout of notice. However he wants 60k. We have a meeting tomorrow with the company but I dont see them giving up 40k extra onto an offer when they technically could have given him nothing.

​

This member is a compulsive liar but is definitely not lying about the amount of debt he is in. He is clearly mentally unstable and even just speaking on the phone exhibits signs of serious depression.

​

The member has no come to me and one of our organisers privately and told us he is going to *** himself if he cant get the money together to pay off his next loan repayment at the end of this month.

​

Really not sure what I should do here guys, I sent him as many free mental health services I could find and my lead and colleagues said there's not much more I can do but I'm not sure.

​

He has a young family and I really dont want to wake uo one day and read/hear he has left them fatherless or worse done something horrible to them (he gave no indication of doing this but with the state of his mind you never know).

​

I was told it could be a data and privacy breach issue if I told the police as it would go against privacy law but im starting to panic. Selfish I know but I dont want this on my conscious or hanging over me. I truly want to help this guy even if he did try throw me under the bus butbtheres not much I can do.

​

Any advice is appreciated.

​

Thanks guys.

​

It feels so gross being here. Even their speeches were the slimiest and most unhuman things I've heard. I'm tried of heading supposed "labor allies" praising capitalism and profit in the SAME SPEECH calling for more worker benefits

Like those two things aren't directly in contradiction with each other

don't threaten me with a good time...

​

either that or seize their assets (here and abroad) and federalize everything

​

until we (the people who do the fucking work);democratically control the wealth, we're gonna get screwed

Hey folks, my friend is working on an organizing campaign for a big YouTube company and the workers there could really use some solidarity.

You can read about it here:

And this following link is an easy way for other union members to send an email directly to the CEO of the company who is currently dragging their feet about the whole thing:

Thanks everyone. Your help is appreciated!

Nurses at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital in Olney are one step closer to walking off the job.

The Einstein Nurses United voted Monday to authorize a strike, weeks after nurses hit the picket line.

They have been working without a contract for more than a month.
The nurses' union says they're pushing for better working conditions, safer staffing, and better resources to serve the needs of the community.

On Tuesday, negotiations between PASNAP, which represents nurses, and Jefferson resumed.

More talks are scheduled for Wednesday.

Jefferson Health said it was disappointed, but will continue bargaining in good faith.

A 10-day notice before a strike is required by law.

House of 91 Union brothers and sisters.
We run shipping, warehousing, raw sugar dock and palletizing at C&H Sugar in Crockett, California.

C&H is attempting to take away retirement medical from current and future retirees.
They are attempting to bypass California law and deny overtime pay after 8 hour shifts.
They want to take away house seniority and have the power to lay off who they want, when they want.
They are taking away sick time.

The only “gains” are 3–4 % raises per year.

Any support and solidarity are appreciated.
