Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit.
Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs.

#istandwithmamary Ma Mary is our beloved co-founder. This weekend, she fearlessly protested Bezos's Ball. She is 72 years old, a three time cancer survivor, a badass union organizer and has worked at Amazon for 7+ years. Help her retire!! https://t.co/GzJC25SLyb
Solidarity with unions in Italy, shutting down ports, railways, schools & shops in a 24-hour general strike for Palestine.
Coordinated action shows the power of our global movement.
We won’t rest until the genocide ends, perpetrators are held accountable & Palestine is free 🇵🇸
This is the right call from @unitetheunion and until the bus companies install reliable cooling systems in drivers' cabs, no bus driver should be putting themselves and their passengers at risk by driving in 35°C+ temperatures.
New: After Gaza aid flotilla volunteer & US citizen Christian Smalls was taken into Israeli custody, seven uniformed individuals beat him, choking him & kicking him in the legs, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.
Smalls is co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union.
When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.
When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced.
Amazon Labor Union leader Chris Smalls @Shut_downAmazon is on the #Handala, the 37th ship to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on #Gaza. Amazon has invested billions in intelligence like the Nimbus project, used for the surveillance and targeting of Palestinians.
Chris shares that “…an injury to one is injury to all,” calling on labor unions worldwide to fulfill their responsibility: to be the shield for the working class, which includes protecting Palestinian people, and urges unions to stop their shipments of arms to Israel, fuelling their genocide in Gaza.
“We come with baby food, toys, medicine, and hope — not just for Gaza, but for the future of our children in America back at home. The world is watching.”

At midday, I’ll be speaking to Chris Smalls, who is on board the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza.
In the face of starvation and genocide, the freedom flotilla represents the very best of humanity and solidarity.

As the only Black man aboard the #Handala knowing the risk I’m honored to do it for the culture more importantly we all must come together for Gaza! 🫶🏽🇵🇸
Good morning, the largest labor union in the US just cut ties with the ADL (Apartheid-Defense League). Keep Greenblatt in your thoughts, he might be out of a job soon. 🥀

This massacre must be one of the worst atrocities of all. Rescue workers murdered one by one, then buried in a mass grave.
This is clearly a war crime.
All those responsible should be brought to trial.
And we should stop arming Israel.
