It’s time to stop the unfair tolls on working families and for @wsdot to dump the non-union contractors building them.

WSDOT hired a non-union electrical contractor from out of the area to work on the 509 tolled-highway expansion in SeaTac. People are sick of paying endless tolls to get to work, especially when this work is not going to people in our community! No jobs, no tolls! @IbewLocal46

REI workers have spent months trying to negotiate a fair contract, only to be met with delays and dead ends from the company. Now, they are asking members and supporters to boycott the company’s biggest sale until REI changes its ways. seattletimes.com/business/retai…

Food service workers at Climate Pledge Arena are fighting for accessible healthcare and livable wages. Tell Climate Pledge and Delaware North that these workers deserve a fair contract! Sign their petition: actionnetwork.org/letters/i-supp…

Congratulations to the bargaining team with UW Libraries and Press Workers at @SEIU925 on achieving a tentative agreement after nearly 20 bargaining sessions. These workers showed remarkable resolve and stood strong in their fight for a fair contract.

Happy Mother's Day to the union moms everywhere!

Yesterday, the Seattle City Council approved funding for Seattle Libraries to pay for new books and make libraries safe during extreme heat. We're disappointed that CM Rivera opposed labor-backed amendments, but proud they passed. Onto the ballot!

Organized workers win. #UnionsForAll

As Starbucks stalls at the bargaining table, baristas in Seattle and across the country continue to organize new stores. 🙌 @sbworkersunited

AMAZON TEAMSTERS BECOME FIRST UNION TO WIN BARGAINING ORDER AGAINST E-COMMERCE GIANT In a historic decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that Amazon illegally refused to recognize the Staten Island-based Amazon Labor Union-International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1 (ALU-IBT 1) and ordered it to begin negotiations with the Teamsters. Over 5,000 warehouse workers at the JFK8 facility in Staten Island formed their union on April 1, 2022. In June 2024, they officially affiliated with the Teamsters Union, which officially chartered ALU-IBT Local 1. Over the past four years, NLRB has repeatedly found that Amazon has illegally and willfully ignored the union’s legitimacy while attempting to coerce JFK8 Teamsters into ending their organizing efforts. "Four years ago, Amazon workers at JFK8 won an NLRB election. Now, on this monumental anniversary, they have become the first group ever to force the company to recognize their union, and they did so as Teamsters,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This fight is far from over but this ruling from the NLRB is an historic victory for Amazon Teamsters nationwide and a testament to worker power.”

The workers at Navos Behavioral Health Hospital are taking the fight to healthcare giant Multicare to win a strong contract with quality patient care. 💜 The labor community stands with them!
