Farm workers at Windmill Farms organized with @ufw.bsky.social over 3 years ago, yet the company refuses to recognize their union.

We will have these workers' backs for as long as it takes to get them a fair contract. You can sign their petition here: act.seiu.org/a/windmill_i...

Despite years of union busting, store closures, and layoffs, @sbworkersunited.org continues their historic fight to change their industry.

Starbucks will not turn around the company until it comes to the table with the 12,000 unionized baristas to reach a fair contract.

The Trump administration would rather shut down our government than address the looming health care crisis.

Working families cannot afford a 114% spike in health insurance costs. It's time to fix this crisis and fund the government.

Last week, @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social announced it would close and lay off 9 union journalists, despite paying its CEO >$500k.

Seattle Children's nurses have an informational picket Tuesday to demand fair wages, dedicated break nurses, and protection from workplace violence.

Children's has refused to offer nurses a fair contract and hired a prominent anti-union law firm.

Come show your support! πŸͺ§

Starbucks abruptly closes 2 Seattle stores "While this was a difficult decision to make, we remain dedicated to serving you," Starbucks said in a memo posted at the Capitol Hill location's shuttered entrance.

Starbucks' $100 million CEO continues to double down on a failed top-down strategy, disregarding the input of baristas who serve customers every day. www.seattletimes.com/business/sta...

After years of bargaining, 12,000+ unionized baristas still don't have a contract. It's time for Starbucks and its $100M CEO to do the right thing and get a deal done.

The Labor Community stands with @sbworkersunited.org and will do what it takes to help them win a fair contract.

Today, @ufcw_3000 held a town hall to talk about access to fresh and affordable groceries. This comes after Kroger announced that four Fred Meyer stores across our region would be shutting down.

Grocery workers refuse to accept that these corporate decisions are inevitable.

Starbucks can afford to do right by Seattle baristas. Instead, they’re firing dedicated baristas, stonewalling contract negotiations, and telling workers to file for unemployment.

Join us on September 22 at noon to stand with @sbworkersunited.org!

MLK Labor is proud to update our endorsement in the Seattle mayoral race to support both Mayor Harrell and now, Katie Wilson.
