LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike

“There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line” https://t.co/d3T42xAlRO

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

No it isn’t.

@Columbia cowards

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

When Gwynne Wilcox was illegally fired from the @NLRB board, it effectively shut down their operations and made it easier for bosses to violate workplace rights.

As she fights in court for her seat on the NLRB today, we’re rallying to say that America’s workers have her back ✊

[Mark Gaston Pearce @MarkGPearceWRI]

March 5 @ 10 am EST are oral arguments on the unlawful and unprecedented dismissal of the first black woman member of the NLRB. The National Labor Relations Board needs a quorum so workers' rights can be protected! #reinstatewilcox

“Public service” ≠ public interest, if that weren’t obvious by now. NYU can’t have a PI career fair w/out making judgements about what’s in the public interest. That said it’d be great if PI employers pooled together and made their own fair.

[BDS Union @bds_union]

The BDS Union condemns Brooklyn Defender Services' resistance to withdrawing from the PILC Fair hosting ICE. Our Employer had the opportunity to do the right thing: stand up for our values, & for Employees, Brooklyners, & communities affected by ICE by withdrawing—but it didn't.

Stanford faculty (led by Becky Tarlau ❤️) speaking on historic grad student campaign in my hometown of Stanford. Organizing a union and demanding a living wage is not selfish. https://t.co/JU0c42ic8j

I’m not allowed to play NYT games on our shared account but for others out there…

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

“It may be that the time has come to create a similar organization to mobilize the nation’s leading lawyers to represent Palestinians and their allies, since almost no one in the legal community is willing to do so.” Glad this says “almost no one,” ahem

@Culinary226 it’s Yankees/Dodgers (worst of all possible outcomes) and Wilmer’s knee is f-ed, but @UniteHereL2 is on strike and also

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

Yale grad student vote count today @33unitehere. @nysna striking today. i don’t have an ear infection yet and the giants off-season went fine. 2023 let’s get it.

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

Giants eliminated, but, every Ivy has a grad union, the Mariners still have a shot, and @Culinary226 is ready to strike. Let’s bubble wrap Wilmer Flores and hope TV on the Radio reunites

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

Disappointing to see @ProfKFranke dropped I meant, not the complaint

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

This is disappointing

[Katherine Franke @ProfKFranke]

I have filed an ethics complaint against @OuttenGolden, the law firm that I hired to represent me when @Columbia launched an unfounded & politicized investigation of me because I condemned violent attacks ag pro-Palestinian student protesters on our campus.

[Brandon Mancilla @mancillabrando]

Historic breakthrough in Higher Ed! So many wins but as important as a record raise and ending tiers, UAW Local 2300 has won *COLA* at Cornell. Universities have the money. What we need to do is build the power like 2300 did to force them to say Yes after decades of saying No

[Alek Felstiner @AlekFelstiner]

“It only takes one extremist in that group of a thousand peaceful people to turn a situation volatile and dangerous.” This is fing BS. Over and over and over I saw NYPD (esp. SRG) turn situations volatile and dangerous, thru coordinated attacks & adhoc individual brutalization

[Gothamist @Gothamist]

NYPD texted one another to ‘Kick their a—’ before mass arrests at Black Lives Matter protest

Today, I had the honor of visiting members & their students at the solidarity encampments at the New School and Columbia. On Friday, we rally in defense of academic freedom and our members at NYU. A freedom that includes the freedom to stand up for Gaza #StandUpUAW
