I miss Twitter as it was 15 years ago. If you need to find me, I’ll be at home enjoying antisocial media made from dead trees. Ciao!

@hammerstu64 @evolvepolitics He needs people who'll do low paid work and can survive in very cold environments, whilst not daring to complain.
Guess he's banking on millions of Russian refugees turning up

[Eric Riback @kreplachbro]

Good advice. Why isn’t everyone just getting a higher paying job than the one they have?

A really insightful and also devastating report shows unions as a whole have gained billions of dollars in assets in the past decade, while union membership and grassroots staff declined. Portrait of a failed strategy.

Big news: we've filed UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE charges against Verizon's Director of Human Resources Brett Ulrich. He's been illegally intimidating and lying to workers in Portland, and we're not gonna stand for it!

Nfw I’m EVER donating to @DCCC_TheStates or @DNC. Instead of recycling their fundraising letters I’m going to burn them and spit on the ashes. #Shame! https://t.co/VahuUz0lGE

BREAKING: the Everett/Lynnwood Verizon stores have RATIFIED their first Collective Bargaining Agreement! https://t.co/Rv5011pf55

Union-busting is SO expensive.

Think about all the money that could be going to good wages and benefits if companies decided to work with, instead of against, their own workers.

Good morning! A man at a nearby table asked for wheat rye toast and was disappointed when told he could have wheat *or* rye. NB ⁦@BCDreyer⁩ ⁦@Mededitor⁩ #punctuation

I noted sad kicker to My Son the Union Organizer: “Public employees in New York State are not allowed to strike, so it is not clear what leverage the union would seek to exert over the district.”
His response: “Striking anyway.”
