It's the highest number of deaths recorded among those groups in the last 5 years, per UDOT. Read more: https://t.co/zS2WtQa2WB
I’m going NYTimes-free this Thu in solidarity with @NYTimesGuild. Breaking my Wordle streak in the name of workers’ rights. (Have you tried @quordle yet? Four times the fun—none of the anti-labor sentiment.)
We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.
This thread is a great example of what workers are up against as they try to bargain a fair contract for humane working conditions. Keep up the pressure @InsiderUnion ✊🔥
Last week, 172 of us emailed @thisisinsider management explaining why we need job security, pay equity, metrics reform, and other proposals our union made. Two days later, Insider's counsel told us they didn't read our emails. So today we made sure they can read them.
NEW: The NLRB has ruled that Starbucks illegally withheld pay/benefits from workers at hundreds of unionizing stores.
It's now moving to force Starbucks to:
- Pay back 100% of the denied benefits
- Require Howard Schultz to record a video admitting the illegal action

Shopify's CEO said he messed up expansion and laid off 1,000 workers.
Last year he made over $20 million and cashed out $623 million in stock.
Interesting how when CEOs mess up, they get huge bonuses. When workers just do their job, they get laid off

NEW: Strippers in LA are trying to form America’s only unionized strip club.
Dancers at Star Garden started organizing after two workers were fired for voicing safety concerns about customers.
“I want to exploit the system that seeks to exploit me,” a lead organizer told us.
A catchy (but low key sad) sitcom song was ‘WKRP in Cincy’. Constant job relocation kept buddy from settling down with the woman he loved, my man was down BAD. This song was basically a long sad ass DM.
Read the whole thread and see how much hate is funded by @UtRealtors@EnergySolutions@ReaganOutdoor They bring so much shame to Utah. They foster bigotry and violence in our schools and communities. Wish I could build a shield of love for trans kids ❤️🏳️⚧️❤️
@Nava_United It’s like the scene in a teen movie when the shy kid thinks they’re going to have a small gathering of friends over while their parents are out, and a busload of other kids rolls in… cue the montage! 🎷🍾🪅
It's official! 🎉🎉Workers at @NavaPBC have voted to form the LARGEST civic tech union in the US!💪🏽🗽We're excited to use our unified voice to build a workplace that is equitable and inclusive to all workers.
Here's some background for today's sessions. Earlier this week, Gov. Cox vetoed HB 11, which bans trans girls from competing in girls sports. Legislative leaders say they have enough votes to override his veto. @KUER https://t.co/svI3KWsI2C
Have you heard? We’re leading a public research project with @weareotv to better understand the state of harm and repair behind the 🎥 in the film & TV industry. Work in production? Take the survey before and pls share far and wide 🌎
In solidarity with the workers at @Nava_United! ALL @NavaPBC workers deserve the dignity and protection of one union. ☝️ Trying to divide delivery and non-delivery workers is not acceptable and doesn’t live up to the company’s values. Everyone deserves democracy at work.
