Workers today still face the global pandemic of runaway corporate greed.
Railroad Teamsters in Canada and the United States will not stand for it and will not back down in our shared fight for fair schedules, higher safety standards, and improved wages.
Teamsters at @Disneyland have overwhelmingly voted by an overwhelming 99 percent to authorize a strike!
The decisive vote is a direct response to @Disney executives’ refusal to negotiate in good faith and the company’s numerous unfair labor practices.
In California, 6,000 of the over 13,000 cast members at Disney are Teamsters. These workers, including attraction hosts, resort parking and transportation staff, and animal care workers, are fighting for higher wages, better benefits, fair attendance policies, seniority rights, safer working conditions, and greater respect on the job.
“We are fed up with being pushed around by Disney and are ready to fight back against its unfair labor practices,” said David Hernandez, a monorail operator and Local 495 shop steward. “Disney believes it can bully us into accepting a subpar contract by violating our rights, but they are wrong. We are united, strong, and prepared to strike to secure the fair contract we deserve.”
“We need way more power being built. We need people out of advocacy mode, out of mobilizing mode and into really serious organizing.”— Jane McAlevey, a major voice in labor, died today.
Jane had many pieces with In These Times. Most recent was this Q&A.

The U was 30 mins late for bargaining this morning, and still couldn't say anything besides "lol no" to our most basic of asks like "can we be notified if our appointment will end?" and "can we be protected against workplace harassment?" and "can we afford to buy food?"

1.) The House Committee on Education & the Workforce, spearheaded by anti-union Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, clearly prioritizes Big Business over American workers. Politicians should serve working people, not their corporate donors!
