Episode 12. Power concedes nothing without a demand. See you in the New Year!

Independent Trade Union of Miners leader Yuriy Samoilov: ‘More than war fatigue, what we have is apathy. Most people no longer expect anything.’ Yuriy Samoilov provides a left-wing and trade union perspective on the Russia-Ukraine war.

Currently, at the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Plant, we are involved in a labor dispute. Despite the war, we are demanding a 20% salary rise.

They have won.

Argentine Trade Union News - 1 Pablo Moyano, leader of the Teamsters’ union, resigned from his position as co-chairman of the General confederation of Labor.

Pablo Moyano, leader of the Teamsters’ union, resigned as co-chair of the General Confederation of Labor due to:

- Growing radicalism after Milei's victory
- Conflict with his father.

However, trade union connection with the Peronist party will wreak havoc on.

The key question is how we can prevent job loss and economic stagnation, isn't it?

Is there a graph about the number of workers participating in strikes?

As wrote F.Peterson in the book "Strikes in USA": In a large number of cases there is a question as to what should be counted as one strike.

I've been waiting sinse March. What a good day!

Thank you. Interesting. Can you recommend some books about trade union in Russian Empire that are accessible online?

Worker-to-Worker Organizing May Finally Have Its Moment For years, many worker advocates have said there’s a simple, straightforward answer for reversing organized labor’s decline: worker-to-worker organizing.

The film can serve as a guide for organizers, showing how workers achieve victories. For example, what to do if the company holds an anti-union training session? How to choose the right moment for collective union action?

I highly recommend everyone watch film and read articles about this fight.

The film contains plenty of funny moments:

- You're fired. So, you’re fighting for us
to have a union. I don’t understand why you’re doing this. So, suppose we do get a union. How would you play a part in this?
- I’m the president already.

Secondly, Chris Smalls' role is crucial. "Spending a year" without a clear chance of success, having lost his job — very few are willing to show such dedication.

The tent, a cozy center with a spot where workers make hot dogs and discuss working issues, became a hub of informal integration. It was a place where informal connections formed between people, which became the foundation of an organizational structure.

First, Amazon’s entrance is conveniently located. The bus doesn’t drive onto the warehouse grounds but stops right outside the gate. This provides an opportunity to talk to workers waiting for the bus.

I’ve been waiting for a long time for the film "Union" about the ALU victory on Staten Island to become available. Today, I finally watched it.
As a former warehouse worker from Eastern Europe, I can say that the working processes are familiar. The only difference is that Amazon has more automation.

Does anyone know how I can get the book GRIFFIN, JOHN I. Strikes: A Study in Quantitative Economics? Is there a chance it's available in an electronic format?

Metallurgy has historically been the sector where the United Metal-İş Union originated. However, it seems it is no longer the center of the labor power - this needs to be checked.

It is also worth mentioning the solidarity visit to Atakaş Çelik, a steel plant with 700 workers, where three workers were dismissed. The picketing there is marked by fighting slogans and a clear militant spirit.

Currently, MESS [business association] are being offered only a 30% raise, which means it will be hot.

At that time, metal workers secured a wage increase of 91% for the first six months and 18% for the next six months. Moreover, a specific clause provided for additional wage increases if inflation exceeded 18%.
