VICTORY! Today, Solidcore’s COO sent an email declaring that all Solidcore coaches who are currently classified as independent contractors (everyone except managers, corporate employees and senior master coaches) will be reclassified as employees. ORGANIZING WORKS.
"Unionized workers fared much better during the pandemic: unions helped ensure that workers had the protective equipment they needed, paid sick days and more." #1u https://t.co/EfISb4uqjO

@EBBAVELLI We love when Solidcore classes are more affordable/accessible! But did you know, new coaches who coach “community classes” don’t receive ANY compensation? That means they prep, coach, and sometimes even clean the studios for free.
Every employment attorney columnist @Davidlaz spoke with said California was clear on this issue: You can’t charge employees or job applicants for their own training.
What Pure Barre is doing “doesn’t seem legal under California law,” one lawyer said. https://t.co/r1WAQABFwL
Amazon has an important method for busting unions at their warehouses: they fire workers who organize their co-workers.
It is a nationwide pattern—see the thread.
But the script is being flipped. Fired workers like Chris Smalls are now leading the next wave of organizing. 🧵
Elon Musk's comedic performance may be front and center on this week's episode of Saturday Night Live, but @AFLCIO Secretary-Treasurer @lizshuler says viewers should be focused on his track record of violating workers' rights. https://t.co/VL6qxKbQY5

It shouldn’t take an act of courage to join a union. But how @BAmazonUnion workers stood up to Amazon intimidation was courageous. It was historical.
We’re with @RWDSU as they challenge those illegal union-busting tactics.
This isn’t the end, instead a powerful beginning. #1u
