Today, the workers of @precisionstrat are proud to announce that we have taken action to unionize with @CWAUnion. We’re calling on company leadership to recognize our union without delay and to join the 200-year history of workers’ rights through union representation!
Even by the low, low standards of tech industry, the bosses at TCGPlayer/eBay waged a remarkably vicious anti-union campaign against these amazing, talented, expert workers. Love and solidarity won the day. #1union#cwastrong https://t.co/fhTJ5nZ2DR
THIS JUST IN! Votes have been counted and.........
WE WON! 136-87!!!!!! Thanks for all the support!!!! Now we move on to bargaining our first contract!!!
Scoop: Google is legally the boss of sub-contracted YouTube workers seeking to unionize, regional labor board director rules, meaning if the union wins the election Google itself would be required to collectively bargain with US workers for the first time https://t.co/GmjxytXeKZ
So excited to welcome the staff of the Trevor Project to our union! Forming a union to create a better, stronger organization shows how dedicated they are to their important work and to each other. ❤️
🚨NEW REPORT🚨
We conducted the largest every survey of US based Google contract workers & discovered 1000's of workers are being denied the income & benefits they are supposed to receive at Alphabet.
#EveryGoogleWorker deserves their fair share.

Apple said in its proxy statement today that it will conduct an assessment of its efforts to comply with its stated policy on freedom of association and collective bargaining. Spoiler alert: they aren't making an effort.

To the workers at @Proletariat_inc in Boston, I stand with you as you organize with @CODE_CWA to form a union and fight for fair benefits and working conditions. When workers organize, workers win.
