Colorado #Slaughterhouse Workers Ratify New Contract
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/18/colorado-meatpackers-ratify-new-contract/from #WorldOutlook
April 17, 2026On April 12, 2026, members of United Food and Commercial #Workers (#UFCW) Local 7 ratified a new agreement with the JBS Swift beef processing plant in Greeley, #Colorado. A #union press release announcing the vote — with 93% in favor — said the contract contained "all gains, countless improvements, and not a single concession."
"This ... is a testament to the incredible resolve of our members," said Local 7 president Kim Cordova. "These workers stood together on the picket line for three weeks, through extreme weather, because they knew their worth and refused to be disrespected."

#Colorado #Meatpackers End #Strike, Will Return to Work
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/06/colorado-meatpackers-end-strike-will-return-to-work/from #WorldOutlook
April 6, 2026“The company walked away,” Cordova told the crowd of more than 800 #workers from the day shift picket lines. “They believed that you would not walk out on strike.”
But of the 3,800 workers in the plant represented by the #union, 94% did walk on March 16, marking the first major packinghouse strike in 40 years.[1]
The workers’ action had an impact, according to the union. About 60% of the cattle earmarked for JBS went to competitors as the company tried to operate with the remaining hourly workforce and supervisors.
“The problem is the way we are being treated,” Hector Vargas told World-Outlook before the April 3 union meeting at the parking lot. “To keep up with work means taking a beating. And you cannot go to the bathroom. They make you wait a long time — if they let you go.”

The former CEO of Geisinger made 4.6 million dollars in 2020. (No figures are available for the current CEO.) Yet they are not offering many employees a living wage, and have cut their benefits to the bone. DOWN WITH CORPORATE GREED and UP WITH UNIONS! Support our local hospital employees. #union #unionstrong #labor #labormovement #strike

“A Class in Plain Sight, Treated as If It’s Invisible: The Working Class Today.”
Millions who keep society running are spoken of as stereotypes, if at all. This essay calls out the erasure — and demands we see the people behind the labor.👇

Latest news on Starbucks strike in #USA
[from email sent to supporters on Nov. 20, 2025]Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.

Iranian Oil Workers Launch Historic Strike
Fifteen thousand workers went on strike at a major gas field in Iran at the economically critical South Pars field.https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/iran-oil-field-workers-strike

Nov 10, 2025Fifteen thousand workers went on strike at a major gas field in #Iran last week, demanding improved wages and working conditions at the economically critical South Pars field. Earlier this month, the Association of Gas Industry #Workers’ #Unions of Bushehr Province—the largest #labor organization representing the workers of Iran’s #gas refineries at South Pars—announced a weekly work stoppage over longstanding grievances at the site.
A letter announcing the strike laid out several key demands that the workers had put to Iranian authorities related to inequitable pay, difficult working conditions, and inadequate leave time for workers at the site.

Did you know Labor Day was created in New York City? In 1882, 10,000 workers marched down Broadway in the first Labor Day parade, demanding better working conditions and fair wages.
This wasn't just a parade, but the birth of a movement that would become a national holiday. NYC's labor organizers literally created the template for workers' rights celebrations across America.

Support for Labor Unions Near Historic High as Trump Trashes Working Class
"Working people want #unions and the numbers prove it," says one labor leader. "While billionaires and their yes-men in Congress try to slash wages, gut health care, and silence working people, we are fighting back—organizing, mobilizing, and demanding a voice."

Aug 29, 2025#Gallup's annual survey, released Thursday, shows more than two-thirds of people in the US (68%) approve of #labor unions and the economic security and prosperity they provide working families. The popular support matches record-high numbers of recent years after a long decline from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

ASU VIc Tas and the NTEU Vic have not endorsed the walk out/ strike as it is unprotected industrial action, but they have endorsed the rally at 1 PM at the State Library and encouraged their members who are planning to attend or participate to seek the support of their employer, take leave or use their lunch break to attend. The ASU Vic Tas has also expressed solidarity with those members who do choose to walk out.

EPA Is ‘100 Percent’ Union-Busting, Workers Say
After ending their collective-bargaining agreements, the #EPA ordered employees to seek prior approval for protected #union activities on non-duty time.
August 25, 2025
According to an internal advisory obtained by the Prospect, the agency has resorted to citing U.S. Criminal Code as justification for prior authorization, specifically referencing “the representational conflicts of interest statute.” The statute is designed to prevent conflicts of interest emerging from outside employment, whether paid or unpaid, but the EPA appears to be using it to restrict federal #workers from participating in union-protected activities. In the agency’s plane of reality, building support for improved working conditions without permission could be a criminal offense. Describing the agency’s conduct, Chen said “it’s 100 percent union-busting.”
