What if we were just, like, all in the same union?

This is what the company has directed managers to do across the country. We immensely appreciate David Almond’s bravery for speaking out.

Scoop: A former Starbucks store manager has testified that higher-ups shared a list of union supporters at his store and told him to punish them bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @SBWorkersUnited "Go through her files...I'm sure there's something in there we can use against her"

There's a high likelihood of a railroad workers strike. News is covering a "deal" which may avert the strike, but they have left the terms of the deal vague. What they omit is that, where the workers' major demand is paid sick leave, the deal offers three *unpaid* days
Jonah Furman@JonahFurman

The rumor going around among rail workers is that the latest deal improvements are: — Three *unpaid* sick days — Capping healthcare premiums at $400 month (but possible future pay deductions to pay for this) — $1k added to the base pay rate

Cleveland believed a reminder of the government's brutality toward organized labor would inflame the growing socialist movement in America and embolden labor unions. In 1984 he passed a law adopting Labor Day as a less radical alternative to International Workers Day.

Happy Labor Day to our fellow workers in North America! While you're enjoying a well-earned day of rest, have you ever wondered why the US and Canada celebrate the contributions of labor on a different day than the rest of the world? 🧵

Epilogue: By the mid-50s, some US states so feared the radical nature of May Day that they established their own hyper-patriotic holidays of Loyalty Day and Law Day on May 1 to celebrate unwavering obedience to the law. None have been made national holidays -yet!

There's nothing wrong with a good ol' day off! But while you celebrate the achievements of labor today, don't forget the sacrifices it took to win the 8-hour workday and the weekend. And maybe while you party with your fellow workers, you can tell them the real story of Labor Day

🧵: Today, the NLRB issued a decision in Tesla, Inc., in which the Board held that employer attempts to restrict the wearing of union insignia, including clothing and buttons, are presumptively unlawful, absent special circumstances. nlrb.gov/news-outreach/…

BREAKING: The NLRB has ruled that Tesla violated the law by restricting its workers from wearing pro-union apparel. Going forward, attempts by employers to "impose any restriction on the display of union insignia" will be presumed illegal.
