Thrilled to announce that we have reached final text of a tentative agreement with Elliott Bay on our first contract! We will be holding a ratification vote later this week. Thank you to our community for helping us reach this important milestone 💖

Our resolve will not be weakened ✊💪 #WGAstrike #1u

The real #ClimateScam: in the 1980s, oil companies like Exxon and Shell produced internal reports where their own scientists admitted fossil fuels were causing climate change, but instead of making that info public, they suppressed it and funded climate denying junk 'science'

NEW: Amazon @Teamsters’ picket line is spreading nationwide. Workers across the country are standing up to Amazon after the company fired 84 drivers for unionizing with the Teamsters. The picket began in California and continues to grow every week.

Good morning :)

Don’t cross the picket line! Don’t be a scab! Don’t buy Starbucks coffee while their workers are on strike! There a several coffee shops less than a minute away from the roastery, this is Seattle.

Imagine waiting over 90 minutes in line for coffee made by managers and scabs while the @sbworkersunited baristas are asking you to support us by not crossing the picket line. All you gotta do is leave! #Solidarity #strikewithpride

Notorious union busting group Pinkerton security is at the Seattle Starbucks Roastery because management would rather call the cops and hire dangerous security than simply talk to the workers out here today

After insinuating that our picket will be "unsafe", our general manager hired Pinkerton security to surveil us. By standing directly over us. Often staring directly into our tent down at us. Thanks for the thinly veiled threat! #ToBeAPartner #StrikeWithPride

June 5, 1871, anarchist Michele Angiolillo was born. He would go on to assassinate the Spanish prime minister in revenge for anti-anarchist suppression and for the execution of Filipino polymath Jose Rizal. Mabuhay ka! You have acted where Filipinos could not.
