cleaning out ancient corners of the ufcw office today, some cool finds.

find #1: hats so old they're new again. perfectly preserved by being buried in ancient expense reports.

As Canada is on track for its worst wildfire season ever, it’s worth noting whose actions have made wildfires start earlier, last longer, and burn more widely: fossil fuel companies.

[NB Media Co-op / Coop Média NB @nbmediacoop]

Social movements fighting fossil fuel developments in Eastern Canada are having an impact, signalled most recently by news that a controversial oil extraction project is being paused for at least three years.

Susan O'Donnell reports.

Today we’re celebrating Collective Bargaining Rights Day!

Collective bargaining is a fundamental part of our movement. It’s so important that in 2015 it was made a constitutional right &, like many of the best things, it stays great because we keep improving it.

@teesock Sending one box of hats off to a bargaining unit that's wanting swag, but still have some more on top of that. Probably giveaways or just to whoever wants one!

not pictured: grievance files going back to 1976, multiple boxes of ufcw hockey jerseys, and so many binders

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi.

These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets:
