@christinaasmyth @msvelour @agounardes @TweetBenMax The chair kept asking security to remove people who asked questions about why there were more votes than the amount of people registered or why certain people's clickers weren't working. There wasnt really any chance for discussion or arguments

My statement on today's court victory.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

One week ago, Mayor Mamdani established the Mayor’s Office of Worker Power, which provides NYC workers resources to organize, build power, and improve their working conditions.

Thank you to @NYCMayor, @JulieSuLabor, and everyone involved for inviting us to the public unveiling!

[The American Prospect @TheProspect]

Mamdani has established the Office of Worker Power, a first-in-the-nation initiative to connect workers with education, resources, and organizations to help them form a union or demand better working conditions on the job. https://t.co/wOPFX0xiUk

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Talk about a busy week! Even MORE Starbucks workers organized and won unions this week! 🎉

Working people are fed up with corporations that can afford to do better, but won't. It's no wonder our union continues to grow!

CONGRATS to partners in

@newkingsdems @MikeDeCillis @chrismccreight Larry He is running against a republican in my district voted for this coup! His wife came knocking on my door looking for a vote and when I asked why he voted that way, she didn't know what I was talking about and pivoted to the anti-homeless shelter talking points.

@HunterBoone @brigidbergin you'd be surprised based on how many hundreds of thousands of dollars the party has paid for bad tweets and fluff articles no one reads

[Peter Finnen @PeteFinnen]

They probably paid a production company 50k with party money for this cringey mukbang. gonna be funny as hell when they have to play this in court while the losers get their ass handed to them.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.

I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

@hbolton funny to use poly prep as the example because it was not very safe to be out and gay in bay ridge when I was growing up and nuances like that are the stuff gentrifiers miss when they talk to NYers about NY. Anyway i hate engaging in nuanced topics on elon's twitter

@JulieMenin Admonishment without action is just passive encouragement. This is my first time seeing you on my timeline but if you hold power representing my city I want you to know this is not enough

[Shahana Hanif @ShahanaFromBK]

I’m old enough to remember calling for Council Member Inna Vernikov to be censured and expelled for brandishing a gun to intimidate students peacefully protest at Brooklyn College. There were no consequences.

Now Council Member Vickie Paladino openly calls for the expulsion of Muslims, without even attempting to mask her Islamophobia. And she, too, will likely face no consequences.

As one of only two Muslim elected officials in a City Council of 51, I shouldn’t have to explain what this pattern says about whose safety, dignity, and belonging are treated as expendable.

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Congratulations to the more than 200 Amazon drivers at the DBK1 facility in Queens for joining the Teamsters. When working people come together and organize, they can take on even the most powerful corporations. I stand with them.

[Union Maid @M_e_g_a_Megan]

I am was one of the 12 people who was arrested yesterday for peacefully protesting outside Starbucks corporate offices in the Empire State Building. I have worked for this company for 13 years and this is how they treat workers like me who are asking for a livable wage.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

BREAKING: 12 strikers were just arrested by the NYPD while peacefully protesting outside the Empire State Building.

Allies are beginning to speak to the crowd about what just happened.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Union baristas are taking action to remind Starbucks executives that wherever Starbucks is, baristas’ picket lines will be there too until the company finalizes a fair contract and ends its union busting.

It would cost Starbucks less than ONE DAY'S SALES to finalize contracts.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Today, baristas are bringing their ULP strike to Starbucks' NYC corporate office, housed inside the Empire State Building.

Workers and allies are demanding the company resolve 100s of unfair labor practices, end the union-busting, & finalize fair union contracts. Let's go! $SBUX
