I’m on strike for affordable health care because I need an operation on my knee. It would be $15,000 out of pocket without insurance. EBD Group, Demy Colton, and Informa, don't cross our picket line. Move #BiotechShowcase out of the Hilton SF Union Square! - Geraldine, housekeeping

My spouse tried to organize the Whole Foods in Lexington KY in 2016 after getting a manager who sexually harassed multiple workers transferred out of the store. She wanted him to be fired but the corp transferred him, hence the union drive. Unfortunately, the union effort didn't get very far.

Holy fuck, Whole Foods union just dropped. 300 grocery store workers for Whole Foods in Philly are unionizing with UFCW local 1776. As far as I can tell, this is the first organizing effort at a whole foods *store,* ever.

I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.

“A successful general strike is going to take time, mass coordination, & a whole lot of work by the labor movement. As working people…We can no longer allow corporations, politicians & borders to divide us. It’s time we reclaimed May Day for the working class.” see y’all on may day 2028 🫶

There’s a lot of reasons to learn labor history, one big one is that many of us have never lived in a time of real worker power, or seen it exercised. We’ve never seen a general strike shut down our city and bring bosses to their knees. But it’s happened before and it will happen again.

You are up to date.
