Fain: It's not a CEO that's going to save us. It's not a president that's going to save us. It's not me and it's not you. It's us. It's a united working class is how we're going to win!

Ok Yale, make good choices

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

The massive faculty walkout at Columbia right now in solidarity with the student protesters is incredible. Faculty everywhere should follow suit.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

If you aren’t sure if the boss is making you be on-call without fairly paying you, or suspect your local fair scheduling laws are being violated, or have questions about your rights, just call the wage-and-hour besties. Just ask! They’re chill.

Vianey shared a picture of the kiwi fruit that are being harvested in Fresno County, CA. These kiwi’s are handpicked when firm by farm workers earning minimum wage. November mornings tend to be just above freezing in the area. #WeFeedYou

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

BREAKING: Our Red Cup Rebellion, where over 5,000 Starbucks workers went on strike, has already landed a major victory - the ability for workers to PAUSE MOBILE ORDERS during especially busy rushes.

There’s no doubt this is a response to our organizing. 🧵/

[Jewish Voice for Peace Bay Area @JVPBayArea]

NOW ON THE BAY BRIDGE

Dozens are shutting the bridge down during commute hours, DEMANDING a ceasefire in Gaza while Biden is here in San Francisco.

No Gaza genocide, no more bombing, stop killing children.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

Good thread

[AmericanTruckSongs9 @ethangach]

BREAKING: Video game voice actors and motion capture performers voted overwhelming to authorize a strike.

They resume bargaining with Activision, EA, Warner Bros et al tomorrow, but could call a strike at any time now if negotiations don't progress.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

This. Our picket lines were packed until the final day. Members of other unions stood with us until the very end. The companies tried to divide us, and then break us. They failed. We stuck together, and we won. And SAG-AFTRA members will do the same.
