@newseasons is trying to make participation in longstanding communal art a immediately fireable offense!

Art, like the “7corners Snake,” is an expression of our collective creativity & community as workers. That the company seeks to destroy it tells us everything we need to know

In a stunning move, the United Auto Workers is committing $40 million to organizing EV battery and other non-union autoworkers over the next two years.

The @UAW already announced plans to unionize 150,000 workers across the auto industry last year.

Now, they're backing that up.

Citing emails and FTC testimony, Colorado's AG says Albertsons agreed not to hire striking Kroger workers so the union would have less leverage at the table.

"We will never know what concessions we could have got from these employers," union prez told me.

Starbucks Union: Y'know, if you're worried about sales, it'd help to have enough baristas on every shift. Make the wait shorter, move more drinks per hour, keep good baristas from quiting.

Starbucks Execs: [whatever this is]

Being an independent union means we don’t have deep pockets to pull from. Based on New Seasons’ union busting efforts, we know we’re in for a fight. That means lawyer fees and support for staff who may get fired. If you can, support our efforts!
