Was great to see May Day celebrated by the @seiu509 all over the Boston area including at Tufts!

[SEIU Local 509 @SEIU509]

Local 509 members took to the streets yesterday for #MayDay actions! From rallying in Lynn, to a petition delivery at Tufts, to the #BUGWUOnStrike walkout—nothing can hold back the strength of the labor movement! 💪 #1u

WE WON 99-3

Two organizers from @TuftsRAUnion Julie Francois and David Whittingham talked to @SBW272 on the Newsflash podcast today- check it out! https://t.co/kkYUvs7qZA

When @Nike supplier Hong Seng Knitting lost orders due to COVID, they used threats & intimidation to steal $600,000 in wages from garment workers sewing university apparel. @Usas demands major Nike schools like @UofAlabama @GonzagaU @UCLA take action now! https://t.co/AnUaUsemJu

The contract fight at #JFK8 can't be ignored!

[Jonah Furman @JonahFurman]

1) holy shit there's a union at Amazon
2) now is a time to listen and learn from what these workers pulled off, not just point at it and say it validates your prior take
3) the union movement needs to be trying many many many more things
4) gear up for an epic contract fight

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

A great thread on the journey these workers went through, on their own, to unionize #JFK8

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: David beats Goliath! In a historic victory, Amazon workers in Staten Island win the first U.S. Amazon union.

@AmazonLabor and workers at the JFK8 warehouse overcame extreme union-busting to make history.

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

The labor movement has a lot to learn from @amazonlabor and their connection with their constituents.

[Gravel Institute @GravelInstitute]

It’s official, @amazonlabor has just created the first unionized Amazon warehouse in the United States!

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

Huge news from Staten Island and @amazonlabor shows that ANYONE can do ANYTHING with the power of organizing. This was an independent union run by a single man that just unionized an 8k person warehouse against the full efforts of the biggest company in the world. INCREDIBLE!

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

Join Mass Not For Sale tomorrow, March 30 at one of these locations to support drivers and take a stand for workers rights and against big tech companies! https://t.co/cBbdWezdyK

@TuftsDaily is clearly doing something right! Check out the amazing reporting on a local issue by @em1lythomp2on!

[Emily Thompson @em1lythomp2on]

Some ~personal news~

I’m being sued for an article I wrote for the @TuftsDaily.

The paper published the complaint this morning. Read it here:

A huge step in the right direction to make life easier for workers!

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

.@MayorWu and I are working together to make fare-free public transit a reality. Join us on Twitter Spaces Friday at 1PM and hear about Boston's free bus pilot, the Freedom to Move Act, and our fight for transit and climate justice. All aboard! ➡️ https://t.co/L2ULECSruV

[Joseph A. Curtatone @JoeCurtatone]

I've been a mayor and known plenty of mayors, and never have I seen anything like the free flow of obnoxiousness directed at @wutrain. That it's now spilling over to random Asian women tells you everything you need to know about what's going on there.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

“We are disappointed by the termination of the 7 partners fired in Memphis. This termination was blatant retaliation and while it was meant to discourage us from unionizing more, it has only emboldened us and highlighted the need for this union even more.” 63rd & Grand Committee

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

What happens when you are more interested in getting big on Twitter than making sure your workers are treated well.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

California is suing Elon Musk's Tesla, alleging it runs a "racially segregated" workplace and discriminates against Black employees.

Black workers report being concentrated in parts of its factory (one called "the plantation" by other workers) and hearing slurs up to 100x daily.

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

The Starbucks seven are seven workers at a Starbucks store fired for organizing a union!

[la'kota ☕️ @nocarameldrizz]

Hi! Let me introduce myself real quick. I’m LaKota McGlawn and I’m #5 of the Starbucks Seven!

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

Coolest mayor in America right here

[MayorWu @MayorWu]

All Boston & MA adults deserve access to driver’s licenses—regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental for public safety & helping people work, get care & buy groceries more easily.

That’s why we’re supporting the Work & Family Mobility Act. @BosImmigrants @DrivingMA4ward

[Tufts Labor Coalition @tuftslabor]

Let's make 2022 the year of the union!

[Daily Union Elections @UnionElections]

BREAKING: unions have officially doubled the number union certification elections filed in Janurary 2021.
