Op-ed: ASU needs to show courage and stand up to ICE Unlike some Valley schools, ASU has shown neither courage to say that ICE is unwelcome nor care for its own community.

Creative work needs respect, stability, and worker participation — not top-down mandates!!!!

In Major Breakthrough, Volkswagen Auto Workers Reach Tentative Deal Volkswagen had dangled a treat: a ratification bonus of $4,000, sweetened by $1,500 if a first contract at its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was approved by Halloween 2025. But auto worker...

The agreement comes with a 20 percent wage increase, equal to around a $7 wage bump for production workers, over the four-year contract. The cost-of-living adjustment is 45 cents per hour on top of the base wage, depending on inflation. @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports labornotes.org/2026/02/majo...

(6/6) Today is a really good day to join your union. UCWArizona.org/join

(5/6) MYTH 4: Union dues are too expensive. I'm already being overworked and underpaid!"
FACT: Dues are on a sliding scale, based on your income!

You can pay as low as $10/month, or as high as you want to go. Your dues pay for resources, training, swag, professional staff, and more. Money = power 💸

(4/6) MYTH 3: "Being in a union is a time-suck. I'm already busy!"
FACT: Organizing isn't all-or-nothing!

You can be as involved as you want to be! If you have 3hrs/month, you can join a committee. If you have 1hr/month, you can talk to a coworker. If you have no time, you can simply pay dues.

(3/6) MYTH 2: "Collective bargaining is illegal in AZ, so joining is a waste of time."
FACT: Collective bargaining (a contract) is not the only tool in the toolbox!

While current state laws say that union members in AZ can’t collectively bargain, we can still organize through collective action!

(2/6) MYTH 1: "Unions are illegal in Arizona, I'll get fired for joining!"
FACT: Unions aren't illegal!

Your right to belong and be active in a union or employees association is protected by state (AZ 12.1341) and federal law as well as the Arizona Board of Regents (6-906) policies.

Blue-tinted portrait of civil rights activist and labor leader A. Philip Randolph with his quote: "Justice is never given; it is extacted, and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political, and religious relationship."

Acknowledged as the greatest Black labor leader in American history, A. Philip Randolph founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and was a pioneer in advancing racial equality within the labor movement. #BlackHistoryMonth

Black history is American history. From the struggles of Native Hawaiian Black freedom fighters to the African American garment workers in New York state, Black History Month is a time to learn about our unique collective history and honor the hard-won progress.

A graphic that says, "Black History Month."

This Black History Month, we honor the countless Black leaders, activists, and workers who have shaped the labor movement and fought for justice.

"The structures that exist now—our unions and other organized groups that are fighting for immigrant justice, tenant rights, and a fair economy, as scattered and weak as they may be—are the vehicles we have to organize a fightback..." 🧵 1/4

📢 Happening Today! 📢

STAYING WARM & SAFE AT ICE OUT OF MN RALLY -20°F Wind Chill Extreme cold is dangerous-especially when standing still for long periods. Please plan ahead and take care of yourself and each other. DRESS FOR STANDING STILL Layer up • Base layer: Thermal (wool or synthetic). No cotton. Mid layer: Fleece or wool (two thin layers are better than one bulky one). • Outer layer: Insulated, windproof, waterproof coat that covers hips or thighs. Tip: If you feel "comfortable" when you leave home, you're underdressed. PROTECT HANDS, FEET, FACE & HEAD These areas are most at risk for frostbite. • Hands: Mittens + liners if possible; bring hand warmers. • Feet: Insulated, waterproof boots; wool socks (not tight). • Head & face: Warm hat covering ears; scarf, gaiter, or balaclava. • Cover all exposed skin—wind chill causes frostbite quickly. REDUCE WIND & HEAT LOSS • Stand near buildings, vehicles, or barriers when possible. • Keep coats zipped and gaps sealed (neck, cuffs, waist). • Stand on cardboa

STAYING WARM & SAFE AT ICE OUT OF MN RALLY KEEP MOVING (GENTLY) Shift weight, march in place, swing arms. Avoid sweating—open layers briefly if needed, then close them again. EAT, DRINK & WARM UP Eat before and during the rally (high-calorie snacks help). Drink water, even if you don't feel thirsty. • Take warm-up breaks in heated spaces or vehicles when available. KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS Frostbite: Numbness, tingling, pale or waxy skin → Get warm immediately. Hypothermia: Uncontrolled shivering, confusion, slurred speech → Seek help right away. Look out for one another. If someone seems "off," check in. Seek out a medic in the crowd. IMPORTANT REMINDERS • Bring extra gloves, hats, or hand warmers if you can. • It is okay to leave early. Staying safe is an act of solidarity.

We're excited to show solidarity today at the #iceoutmn March and Rally. Here are some tips to stay warm and safe today. Download a pdf version at aflcio.mn/4pXTUPQ #iceout #1u

Fair pay. Safer jobs. A voice at work. That’s the union difference.

To a lot of us, the year seems off to a rocky start. The news cycle has hit a violent and depressing low.

Remember that you aren't alone. Join your labor union, a campus group, a community collective. Don't panic: get organized.
