The strike by workers at Creamland Diary & supporters was successful 💪
After avoiding it for 3 months, the company sat down & negotiated fairly & transparently last week and they found common ground: https://www.kob.com/news/top-news/union-creamland-dairy-reach-labor-agreement-to-end-strike/
So far, 9 agencies have terminated #union contracts that covered >445k #FederalWorkers from the #EPA, US #CoastGuard, #FEMA, #GSA, the Departments of #HHS, #Agriculture & #VeteransAffairs, & parts of #ICE & #Citizenship & #Immigration Services.
“This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history,” said Mike Podhorzer, a former political director of the #AFLCIO. “There’s not another time when that many people lost their union.”
The termination of protections followed an Aug 1 appeals court ruling on legal challenges to Trump’s directive. The order, signed in late March, directed 22 agencies to ignore contracts for employees in specific #unions. Last Thursday, #Trump signed a 2nd EO stripping #union rights from thousands of other employees at 6 additional agencies.

"Working people want #unions and the numbers prove it," says one labor leader. "While billionaires and their yes-men in Congress try to slash wages, gut health care, and silence working people, we are fighting back—organizing, mobilizing, and demanding a voice."

Aug 29, 2025#Gallup's annual survey, released Thursday, shows more than two-thirds of people in the US (68%) approve of #labor unions and the economic security and prosperity they provide working families. The popular support matches record-high numbers of recent years after a long decline from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

"Unions are the best way that working people can build a stable life. But in a city as expensive as New York, they also need local government on their side to lower costs and make life better."

"[Starbucks] is estimated to have spent some $240 million on union busting. It’s even more appalling given that the new CEO, since starting in September, has been paid approximately $96 million and commutes to work from Southern California to Seattle on a company jet. He’s being paid 10,000 times what the average worker is making: around $30,000 a year for a barista."
