"Francisco" sent this from where he was harvesting celery near Bakersfield CA. It was 42°, damp and cold when he began working at 7am. Walking through the celery and bending over to harvest it made his clothes damp and cold. He worked an 8 hour day earning CA min wage. #WeFeedYou

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

They will be picketing beforehand to greet management as they enter Dane Smith Hall... join them from 8 to 9 am to show that workers stick together
As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statements in their tax filings.

@ProPublica Hey just wondering if you are ready to give the Guild a fair contract? Maybe give that a think.

The former CEO of Geisinger made 4.6 million dollars in 2020. (No figures are available for the current CEO.) Yet they are not offering many employees a living wage, and have cut their benefits to the bone. DOWN WITH CORPORATE GREED and UP WITH UNIONS! Support our local hospital employees. #union #unionstrong #labor #labormovement #strike

Wouldn't that be something to see... that's industrial espionage I can get behind! #UnionStrong
Hey Starbucks: instead of fighting unionization of your own workers, why not instead help workers unionize at your competitors?
Setting aside the deliberately provocative lead-in, I'd like to talk about something about how unions work that I think a lot of leftists could learn from.
When you see a worker in trouble you have solidarity with them _first_. It doesn't matter if it has never happened to you personally, or if you don't know the specifics, you can figure out a time when you were degraded, or hurt, or treated without regard for your humanity by management. You can empathize and show up regardless because we are all victims under the capitalist system.
It's not about who this person is, what they might have done previously, whether the policy affects someone you know personally, or anything like that. You show up for them because they are a _fellow worker_.
It also goes back to: find ways to connect it back to how we are treated as workers. Every time.
