#OtD 23 Nov 1912 anarcho-syndicalist union, Unione Sindacale Italiana, was founded in Modena mainly by radical metal workers, builders, farm workers and miners. It played a key role in both the factory occupation movement and anti-fascist resistance https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9595/unione-sindacale-italiana-founded

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

We Can’t Rebuild the Labor Movement Without Taking on Big Targets

[This article is part of a Labor Notes roundtable series: How Can Unions Defend Worker Power Against Trump 2.0? We will be publishing more contributions here and in our magazine in the months ahead.—Editors] Last year, U.S. unions cautiously celebrated a turnaround in their organizing fortunes. National Labor Relations Board election win rates had reached 79 percent, and the number of workers organized for the year approached 100,000, the highest number since 2009. Yet these gains masked a harsher reality for labor, even before the disastrous 2024 elections.

Strike Captains and Practice Pickets: Starbucks Workers Aim to Bring a Contract Home

Unionized Starbucks workers are electing strike captains and getting customers to pledge they won't cross picket lines. They’re amassing in front of stores with picket signs, borrowing a slogan that UPS Teamsters used during their 2023 contract campaign: “Just Practicing for a Just Contract.” Thirty-eight stores held practice pickets in early October, and starting October 25, 80 more stores plan to hold pickets and sign up customers to a “No Contract, No Coffee” pledge, promising not to patronize any Starbucks in case of a strike.
