What's disgusting? Union Busting

We're well into DAY 8 of our multi-day Unfair Labor Practices Strike.

Support @NYTGuildTech and tell @nytimes leadership that we're not playing games.

[Jesse Rabinowitz 🔥🌹@jesserbnwtz.bsky.social @jesserbnwtz]

Friends don't let friends cross picket lines, even on #electionday2024.

Support the striking workers of @NYTGuildTech. No @nytimes word games, no election needle.

And for heaven's sake, vote.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

This just in: "The @NYTGuildTech – the union that powers the technology behind election coverage at The New York Times – has walked off the job in a ULP strike that threatens Election Day."

A statement from Post Guild leadership on the Washington Post's decision to not endorse a presidential candidate

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

The following is a statement from Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien on the failure of the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) to present an acceptable contract offer to the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA):

“The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, including our members in the freight industry, stand in full solidarity with the International Longshoremen’s Association as they fight for a fair and just contract with the ocean carriers represented by USMX.

“The ocean carriers are on strike against themselves after failing to negotiate a contract that recognizes the value of these workers. Our ILA brothers and sisters play a critical role in keeping the American economy running, and they deserve industry-leading wages and robust job protections for the vital work they perform.

“The U.S. government should stay the f**k out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned. Any workers—on the road, in the ports, in the air—should be able to fight for a better life free of government interference. Corporations for too long have been able to rely on political puppets to help them strip working people of their inherent leverage.

“Don’t forget—Teamsters do not cross picket lines. The Teamsters Union is 100 percent committed to standing with our Longshoremen brothers and sisters until they win the contract they deserve.”

BREAKING: Workers at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor have walked off the job and onto the picket line.

We refuse to accept wages that can’t support our families. It’s insulting. And it ends now.

Hawai‘i hotel workers are ON STRIKE! As of 4 a.m. HST over 5,000 workers from eight hotel properties are
on strike making it the largest strike of Hawai‘i hotel workers since 1990.

Labor Day reminder:

Cops aren't workers.
Police associations aren't unions.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

As we approach Labor Day, let us not forget that the United States is the ONLY major nation not to guarantee workers paid family and medical leave.  

There are moms in this country who give birth, and are forced back to work a week later.  

Absolutely unacceptable.
