The latest weekly roundup: Minnesotans are prepping to hit picket lines; @SBWorkersUnited ratchets up pressure on company. https://t.co/jSd0ixJ5QH

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Last fall, UAW put out a call for unions to align their contracts to expire on the same day: May Day, 2028. I looked into the organizing happening in response. My take is that credible sectors of the labor movement are taking this call seriously. https://t.co/zUS0QC7b16

[UPTE @UPTECWA]

We’re at UCSF, patiently waiting for UC administrators to show up to bargain in good faith. Where are they? #UPTE #UnionStrong

Hesen Jabr, a nurse at NYU-Langone Hospital, was given an award for her work with bereaved mothers on May 7th. At the awards ceremony, she briefly mentioned Palestine in her remarks. On May 22nd, Jabr's first day back at work following the ceremony, NYU-Langone fired her.

CIR physicians of @gwuniversity are sick and tired of management’s delays and refuse to sit back and just ask for change. We are united by our solidarity with each other and with our patients, and we will not hesitate to ESCALATE until our demands are met!

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Thank you to @JamaalBowmanNY for joining @GWtweets resident physicians to pump us up before our first union action last week. So grateful for your support and energy as we fight for the contract both GW doctors and our patients deserve!💪💜

From the very beginning of our campaign in 2021, our union has demanded the ability to tip by card- and now, we're seeing credit card tipping rollout across the country.
