The NLRB’s top lawyer plans to aggressively target several legal precedents before the presidential election, such as overturning case law that prohibits the agency from seeking monetary damages tied to an employer’s unlawful refusal to bargain.
She name-checked some of the richest employers on Earth—incl. Elon Musk, Starbucks Corp, & Amazon.com Inc.—accusing them of using their profound wealth to disregard labor law.
I need to follow more furries working in the skilled trades. Furries working in tech are well represented in the Fandom but not so much with the trades. Are you a furry working as an auto mechanic like me? Airplane mechanic, heavy machinery, machinist, electrician, plumber, construction, welder, or any other trade? Are you in a union? Boosts appreciated! 🐻❄👍
30% of the workers at the sole Hyundai plant in the US, in AL, have joined the UAW.
The announcement marks the 3rd such public union drive at an automaker in the SE.
And it marks another step in the UAW’s push to make inroads into the region, where big bus & state govts have worked together for decades to keep unions out.
Hyundai workers argued that the job was breaking down their bodies and quality of life for inadequate pay,
Over 10,000 Autoworkers Sign Union Cards Across 13 Non-Union Automakers in Major Milestone for Historic Organizing Drive - UAW | United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America
Over 10,000 autoworkers across 13 non-union companies have signed union cards with the UAW, as momentum builds across the auto industry for better wages, benefits, and rights on the job. The major milestone comes less than 90 days after UAW members ratified record contracts at the Big Three.
“Our Stand Up movement has caught fire among America’s autoworkers, far beyond the Big Three,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “These workers are standing up for themselves, for their families, and for their communities, and our union will have their back every step of the way.”
In the wake of the UAW’s historic Stand Up Strike victory at the Big Three automakers (Ford, GM, Stellantis), thousands of non-union autoworkers began organizing their own unions with the UAW across the entire non-union auto industry.
#UAW expected to endorse #Biden as he prepares to fight for #union workers
“The support could help boost the president with blue-collar and union workers, as well as in the key battleground state of #Michigan.” #UnionStrong 💪🏼
Anne Hathaway walked off a Vanity Fair photo shoot today in support of the Condé Nast Union walkout. The actress was in hair and makeup when a SAG-AFTRA staffer notified a member of her team about the 24-hour stoppage, which is in protest against what the NewsGuild of New York described as “unlawful handling of layoff negotiations and bad-faith bargaining.” Here's more from Variety.
Keep encouraging #DollarGeneral and all these other arsehole capitalists to hire more #workers and ditch the self check-out. The more jobs disappear that way wjthout #socialism or #UBI, the more we undermine our own #economy and #livingstandards.
#UAWbump: #Tesla joins other #nonunion companies in increasing pay. “As great as these raises are, they still fall far short of what the companies can afford and what autoworkers are worth.”
Second City instructors are going on strike in 7 days. The Second City has refused to make a contract for over 700 days with #AICEunion and they must, ZMC (Second City’s private equity owners) must make a fair deal.
Boeing's 737 MAX troubles are nothing compared to the high-stakes labor confrontation they're about to face in 2024.
Let's put it this way, the International Association of Machinists union has already booked T-Mobile Park in Seattle for their July 17 "prepare to strike" rally, where they will vote on whether to strike.
Emboldened by union successes in 2023 (Hollywood writers, UPS, health care workers, and United Auto Workers), the IAM expects to demand
wage hikes of 40% over 4 years
reinstatement of the defined benefit pension plan lost in 2013
an end to mandatory weekend overtime
commitment from Boeing to build its next new jet in the Puget Sound region (Boeing routinely uses the threat to take business elsewhere to extract labor concessions)
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.
Boeing stock took a bruising today, plummeting -8% on news that loose bolts caused a 737 MAX door to blow off mid-flight last Friday.
Last year Boeing executives repeatedly told investors that by late 2025 or early 2026 "Boeing's business will have recovered from its current loss-making depths to something approaching normal." Note that they were referring to losses from the PREVIOUS 737 MAX groundings.
Whelp.. I finally made too many hashtags to fit on my profile. I tried to pick the ones most applicable to me, or ones I feel most passionate about for my page, and I'll attach an exhaustive, absurdly long list of hashtags below. It was surprisingly difficult to decide which ones made the cut. Drumroll please:
