Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall concession workers ratified a new contract with Aramark! They had been without a contract from the end of 2024 until yesterday.

Full details are not released yet. But it sounds like the employees got more stable hours, increases in wages/commissions, and better staffing ratios on the self-checkout machines.

Last summer they had an intermittent strike at Fenway against Aramark (not against the Red Sox).

The GMB union has now gained over £1bn in compensation payments for gender-based wage discrimination in local councils & is not yet finished with the claims (another 10,000 look to be launched in 2026).

Its great news for the women gaining the compensation for under-payment & shows why unions (the collective organisation of labour) is necessary & also why our political class are not keen on supporting the revival of workers' right to organise.

60+ people showed up at 8 am to reinforce UA-UNM (faculty/teachers union) as they go back into bargaining talks with administration negotiators

Right now, part-time adjunct faculty only make the equivalent of $39K/year, and UNM management is pushing to limit basic workplace rights incl. giving management the power to discipline people for free speech outside the classroom and full control over class loads

Question for the white-collar workers on here: Are you a member of a union? If so, which one and what has your experience been?

I want to test a theory that blue-collar workers tend to be more organised than their professional sisters and brothers.

@Vonskinnback @SylvieLorxu @nileane The only way we deal with unchecked power and wealth is that we finally organize to beat #capitalism.

Capitalism, like kings, is a temporary human creation. It may seem permanent or unbeatable, it is not. It will have an end because it cannot be sustained. The question is will we come together and fight it.

The vast majority, the working class, we are the ones that save us. #Organize #labor #unions and communities to build real #democracy and #socialism.

RE: https://masto.ai/@rbreich/115702491870390656

Capitalism has been waging war on the working class for 100+ years. This is #classwar. It really is that simple. They will take and take and take. And then take more.

And then they will take more until you are dead. The vast majority of the US is #workingclass but we mostly stopped identifying as such. We also stopped fighting. We stopped organizing.

#Capitalism is the problem. And they keep power without a challenge. We have to #organize where we work.
