My first major byline and @TheRealNews was the first outlet to break the story... Unreal. Thank you so much for the opportunity and excellent edits, @maximillian_alv. Everybody on the left with a story to tell should pitch The Real News! https://t.co/OA918DuDJO

The UAW will provide material support to Mexican autoworker organizing and their independent union reform movement. We need to end the international race to the bottom. The Mexican working class is our ally, not our enemy. For me, this is personal…🧵

Today is the anniversary of Minneapolis police murdering #GeorgeFloyd. When I learned that I would have the chance to interview members of George's family for @TheRealNews, this is the question that I most wanted to ask them:

This, what Eig describes as "journalistic malpractice" by Alex Haley, is astounding. The implications, the fact that this interview and its criticism shaped so much of how we understand the political field of the civil rights movement...wow

A 🧵 on UAW: Union democracy entails more than the right of the membership to elect top leadership or the right to vote on one-off major union decisions.

Good morning NYC! UBER DRIVERS ARE ON STRIKE!!!

Here are drivers talking about why they turned off the the app today.

“I can’t believe that Uber did this to us. With all that we do for Uber and then can’t bare to see us get a raise.”

How part-time faculty at The New School (@UAW7902) won their strike, by @mileshamberg: https://t.co/SHm5nW1W7g

[Miles Hamberg @mileshamberg]

Higher ed labor organizing took a giant step forward with @UAW7902's victory this week. After 25 days of striking in the cold, I hope the TA is a holiday gift worthy of their efforts. Here's a comprehensive look at what went down in the great @TheRealNews https://t.co/zcJXNtutpy

[Food Chain Workers Alliance (FCWA) @foodchainworker]

Today is the last day to show support for app-based delivery workers demanding fair pay in NYC! Workers are asking for $28.82/hr --- $5 more than the city has proposed. Currently, these workers live paycheck to paycheck, making ~$7.09/hr with tips. #LosDeliveristas

@UAW7902 @molly_ragan @diancalondon @davidhuyssen @ucu @TheRealNews Look out for more details and perspective on The New School strike and their success in @TheRealNews tomorrow 👀

[Miles Hamberg @mileshamberg]

I had a chance to talk with part-time faculty members on Friday—the 24th day of the #NewSchoolStrike. Turned out to be the last day of picketing because @UAW7902 won a TA last night! 🍾 Here's what happened the day before the TA was signed.

@UAW7902 @molly_ragan @diancalondon @davidhuyssen @ucu Since nobody’s been giving @TheRealNews credit for having the best coverage of the railroad workers' struggle all year & I was talking to a labor historian, I figured I’d get his opinion on the disastrous and undemocratic contract forced on railroad workers earlier this month
