Working Mass

Boston union workers speaking out against ICE. Fear divides workers. Solidarity makes us strong. When working people stand together, we have power.

As we approach 5 years since the historic strike at St. Vincent’s hospital, hundreds of MNA nurses across 5 hospitals launched info pickets to demand fair contracts from UMass!🪧 Tons of DSAers walked the line with nurses, and we joined all 5 pickets across Central Mass! 🧵1/3

Hundreds took to the streets in Lynn on March 21 to defend their neighbors from ICE raids and deportations. Lynn organizers among the most impacted—and they've looked to Minneapolis for inspiration on how to defend themselves.

This new political movement of labor bureaucrats, pseudo-populist politicians, and disaffected working class voters, is increasingly shaping the labor movement with a new right-wing force with collaboration of a wing of labor leaders and strategists. working-mass.com/2026/03/26/who…

Hundreds of protesters responded to an immigration raid targeting Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez in South Burlington, VT on Wednesday and were punched, shoved, maced and run over by police and federal agents. Multiple confrontations occurred throughout the day between protestors and officers. When agents initially tried to arrest Corona-Sanchez, a standoff ensued. A federal agent then returned in the late afternoon claiming they had a warrant signed by a judge for his arrest. The agents broke down the front door of a home shortly before 6 p.m. and forcibly removed three people from inside, none of whom were Corona-Sanchez who was later determined to be not in the house. Protesters linked arms to prevent federal vehicles with those arrested inside from leaving. Several were brutalized and 11 protestors were arrested as federal agents deployed flash bangs and chemical weapons before leaving the scene.

OPINION: "Without unions organizing actively on any significant scale, there exist few avenues for the unorganized to connect with the unions, let alone join them." working-mass.com/2026/03/12/is-…

Sex abuse scandals don’t stop at the @USDOL! Argentina 90% halted as unions strike Trump-Milei push for slavery-lite “labor reform”. 300K USPS letter carriers brace for contract fight. Minneapolis tenants plan a 10K rent strike. NYC nurses win. This is Labor Last Week.

BOSTON: USPS letter carriers rallied for higher wages and sane schedules—part of rallies nationwide ahead of contract bargaining next week. New hires say making it requires 50–80 hour weeks, and they’re placed in a lower “tier” without benefits longtime carriers had.
