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.

The effort to align union contracts to expire May Day 2028 is very hopeful and exciting, though still very much coming into being, and something to watch closely over the next 4 years. It will culminate during another election cycle. www.thenation.com/article/acti....

“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.
