[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Teamsters Local 745 members at United Natural Foods Inc. (UNFI) in Lancaster, Texas, have overwhelmingly ratified their first Teamsters contract. The agreement covers 300 warehouse workers and delivers a 23 percent wage increase, Teamsters health care, a defined benefit pension plan, and strong job protections.

Since 2022, more than 3,500 UNFI workers have organized with the Teamsters, bringing total Teamsters membership at the primary distributor for Amazon-owned Whole Foods, to more than 5,500 nationwide. Newly organized workers at UNFI facilities across the country continue to win strong first contracts that raise standards at the company.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

The first contract won by Teamsters Local 533 motorcoach operators at Diversified Transportation makes it clear how much Teamsters contracts can positively change lives.

The new Teamsters contract delivers increased wages, a guaranteed seven-hour workday, sick pay, health care, and retirement benefits for the 114 workers who unionized with Teamsters Local 533 last November.

The unit is made up of motorcoach operators who provide transportation services to workers at Lithium Americas’ Thacker Pass, a development and construction project, and to workers at Nevada Gold Mines.

On its 140th anniversary, let us remember the Haymarket Affair martyrs and pay respect to their inspiring legacy of working-class radicalism.https://t.co/dYQSLd6oQH

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

It's time to nationalize the airlines.

Air travel is a public good, and taking the profit out of the system would mean cheaper flights and cheaper shipping.

Nationalization would also mean the public air service would be bound to serve the whole country, like the post office.

Right now taxpayers are already subsidizing the airlines via billions of dollars of bailouts and subsidies. We deserve a say in how they are run.

Let's make airlines work for us instead of padding the pockets of billionaires.

Today our Business Manager / Financial Secretary Kevin Holland walked the picket line with Harvard grad students on strike.
Different union. Same fight.
That’s what solidarity looks like. @hgsuuaw #IBEW2222 #1u #LaborMA

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

A first union contract should not take years to secure. The Faster Labor Contracts Act is a simple idea to fix this problem.

The Teamsters are rallying and lobbying on Capitol Hill today to do everything in our power to see that the Faster Labor Contracts Act is signed into law.

[Working Mass @dsaworkingmass]

Safer staffing levels and working conditions, fair wages, and limits to shift rotations are top concerns for MNA members which UMass has yet to address at the bargaining table.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Union Now is a new organization that will provide material resources for union organizing in what amounts to a national strike fund, writes @whitneycwimbish. Delta, Starbucks, and Amazon are among the first targets, says @FlyingWithSara.
