Had a *delightful* time chatting about YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION on the latest Practical Design Leadership podcast! I spoke with Jaan and Justin about tech’s increasingly unionized workforce — and what that means for design leaders. https://designleadership.transistor.fm/s2/4

It has been on my list for a long time, but I finally read Confessions of a Union-Buster, a standard text for #union organisers.
It was not what I expected. Its utility is more as an insight into the mind of a union buster and the terror they deploy, than as an organising manual.

As we roll into #Thanksgiving week, remember that the #StarbucksStrike is still ongoing. DON’T BE A SCAB. Don’t buy Starbucks until the strike is over.
PS: Folks who already don’t shop at Starbucks: good job!
The leader of Japan’s largest labor union group urged Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government to do more to fight inflation to help ensure that workers’ wage gains outpace increases in the costs of living. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/25/economy/rengo-interview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #sanaetakaichi #reno #unions #wages #tomokoyoshino

Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.

Starbucks workers brew our coffee, not the billionaires. Hold the line and don't shop at Starbucks while baristas are on strike. #NoContractNoCoffee https://seiu.co/NoStarbucks
"The changes this bill heralds, are revolutionary; do destroy the traditional relationship between workers, unions and employers; are the beginning of a spiral of poverty for many in this country."
#AngelaFoulkes, CTU, speaking about the bill that became the Employment Contracts Act in 1991. Quoted in Juggernaut 2, ep 2;
"NZ unions once had a privileged legal status by international comparison. Now they've got fewer rights than any country in the OECD."
Juggernaut 2, ep 2

Not sure if this quote is from Helen Kelly or her biographer Rebecca Macfie. Nor if it's from the ECA era, or still current.
But keep in mind the OECD includes the US. At some point since 1991, workers had less protection of our rights to organise unions in NZ, than in the US.
