If you’ve done “free work” for Verizon or any other business, please contact our office to explore if you’ve been the victim of “wage theft” — which is what it is better known as.
Please come out and support the striking workers at The Strand! We are proud to represent Local 2179 — a UAW local with incredible roots in NYC’s labor history. They need support to fight back against a boss that believes the minimum wage is enough.
After months of stalled negotiations, @UAW Local 2179 members at the Strand Bookstore walked off the job yesterday, the first strike at the Manhattan book shop since the 1990s.
Join the picket from 10 AM to 7 PM to help our members win a fair contract! https://t.co/cLN69qOb3S
Highlight of our strike last month: A picket line at Chancellor Hawgood’s “State of the University” address. The real state of UCSF could be found out in the streets on an unfair labor practice strike with thousands of healthcare, research, & technical workers. #UPTE#UCSFSOTU
Our firm is proud to have spent another week working alongside the incredible rank-and-file members of @UAWRegion9A — from their negotiations with NYC movie theaters to their contract enforcement with universities.
We are proud to represent unions that are taking on important and difficult fights to advance the rights of working people and make their lives better.
We congratulate the @Teamsters on reaching a tentative agreement on what appears to be a historic contract with UPS. We are proud to have worked alongside the rank-and-file committee of @804_local in their negotiations. Union power wins!
Over 200 @NBCNews, @MSNBC, and @TODAYshow journalists are walking off the job tomorrow.
NBC has repeatedly broken the law, disrespected the rights of its employees, and illegally terminated hard-working union journalists. Enough is enough.
“Hay hombres que luchan un día y son buenos
Hay otros que luchan un año y son mejores
Hay quienes luchan muchos años y son muy buenos
Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida
Esos son los imprescindibles”
After seven years of litigation, our clients have received recognition from Donald Trump of what has always been true — all people have the right to peacefully protest on the public sidewalk. #StandUpFightBack
Breaking news:
Trump Org shirked away from facing a Bronx jury that was positioned to punish them severely for beating up protesters on Fifth Ave in 2015.

“Powerful men may put their names on buildings, but the sidewalk will always belong to the people,” the plaintiff’s attorney, Benjamin Dictor, said in an email following the settlement announcement. https://t.co/gEIsuQ9kRe
“[T]he NLRA came into being not as some benevolent act by the government to give rights to workers, but rather as a legislative tool intended, in part, to mollify the working class in an era of escalating militancy” - @BenjaminDictor
SCOTUS has opened its new term with an assault on another basic right—this time the right to strike. In the context of rising worker militancy, what does this case mean for labor? @aparna_gopalan interviews labor lawyer @BenjaminDictor for our newsletter

👀 Hearing from workers at ABD1 Schodack NY @amazon hired @JacksonLewisPC. This union-busting law firm is calling employees and soliciting for labor charges to use against @amazonlabor.
👂Amazon this constitutes union polling and violates federal labor law. @NLRB @NLRBGC 🧵
