If you look like this after a day of work, you need to join a union and bargain collectively for some PPE expeditiously.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

If you're anti-union, you're actually just a fucking moron

Inflation skyrocketing, AI running rampant, job market crashing. We are well and truly fucked.

BREAKING: 5,000 commercial production workers have organized with IATSE and won their first contract!

There is also a drawn picture of 3 boats with palestinain flags for sails being lifted by many hands, below that is the union's logo and "3 OTTOBRE" At the top it reads "SCIOPERO GENERALE."

BREAKING: Italian trade union federation USB has called a general strike for Friday 10/03 after Global Sumud Floatilla was intercepted by Israeli ships.

Might be able to get some data from Canada, too.

NLRB website is completely down due to the shutdown, so won't be any new organizing filings for a while. I'll try to get data from the state public sector relations boards to still have some content for the time being.

They file in March. You can find data from their most recent filings here: x.com/UnionElectio...

This "Tilly Norwood" situation is really really disgusting and frankly a perversion. The wealthy will stop at nothing to ruin the lives of working people. They want nothing more than to replace people with controllable robots.

You don't hate the rich nearly enough.

Honestly, it varies. Numbers have been trending up the last few years from a combination of COVID dip recovery + new organizing spree under Biden administration. Also depends on sectors represented. Healthcare unions have been going up, manufacturing and construction a bit more stagnant or mixed.

@rweingarten.bsky.social is joining me right now to discuss why fascists fear teachers and the GOP's 70 year campaign to destroy public education.

This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court –- squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.” “No law” means “no law.”

Breaking! Court rules for unions and academic associations in AAUP vs. Rubio, affirming that non-citizens have first amendment rights. This case was brought by

These are for unions with fiscal years ending between March and June of 2025 (docs filed between June and Sep). Additionally, the AFL-CIO gained 1,372,429 members. I didn't include this above as this is mostly the result of SEIU officially re-affiliating and gains from Working America.

Trump admin is moving to strip domestic workers of minimum wage protections. Absolutely sickening.

This country hates working people so fucking much, and no one has done more to declare war on workers than this current President.

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”

-Declaration of Independence

End the war on workers!
