  1. CW: Fair Hotel Guides: respecting worker's rights

    RE: c.im/@jmb/116401050342925069

    I need sometimes to travel abroad. I try to reduce in-person presence at international conferences but as a scientists, I cannot avoid them entirely.

    Yes, I can reduce the environmental impacts by avoiding air travel. But I am also worried about the working conditions in the hotel during my stay.

    For such reasons, and for everyone who travels, here are lists of hotels that respect their workers' rights:

    USA & Canada: fairhotel.org/
    Denmark: okforhold.dk/
    Norway: fellesforbundet.no/en/
    Sweden: schystavillkor.se/
    Spain: fairhotels.es/?page_id=2

    (If you know of other lists or countries to facilitate responsible travels, please comment below!)

    by IUF (International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations)

    Power to the Unions!

  2. The working class are slaves to their corporate masters. Capitalism in the US feels like Feudalism. You have no power over the evil bastard executives without labour unions.

  3. Three #labourunions, represented by the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, #sued the #Trump administration over its #socialmedia #surveillance programme: The lawsuit argues that the programme, which screens visa holders’ social media posts for hostile or threatening content, violates #FirstAmendment rights and suppresses dissent. The unions claim the programme is an unlawful #surveillanceprogramme that chills speech and infringes on their members’ rights. nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/ #tech #media #news

  8. #California Governor #GavinNewsom signed a measure allowing over 800,000 #ridehailing drivers to #unionise and negotiate for better wages and benefits. This law, a compromise between #labourunions and #techcompanies, permits drivers to unionise while remaining independent contractors. It also reduces #insurance requirements for accidents caused by uninsured drivers. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/o #tech #media #news

  14. "Preston, vote for your board of directors"

    REI, a fucking *co-op*, is engaged in union busting. The union wants us to vote down (vote to "withhold") all three of the candidates put up for the board. See screenshots for what the email and process looks like to do so.

  15. Visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium was the highlight of my vacation to California several years ago. I support the unionization efforts of its employees to ensure that many more visitors have the chance to say the same.

  16. Recently discovered @galette

    A #FreeSoftware membership management application for nonprofit organizations. #LabourUnions and any associations can make use of it.

    What makes this more useful is that once members and groups are created, a third party plugin enables OAuth which then can be used for #SSO for the rest of the services set up by the same organization for its members.

    How cool is that! I am trying out. If everything goes well, I will document & share steps.

    From the New York Times:

    >Will there be a Needle?
    >
    >If you are reading this, you’re probably familiar with the Needle, a statistical model and visual display that analyzes both what we know about reported results and what’s left to count, and offers a sense of what might be coming.
    >
    >We’re planning to publish the Needle tonight. But the Needle relies on data from an array of local jurisdictions, **as well as computer systems maintained by engineers across the company who are currently on strike**. So, we’ll publish when we know the data is flowing smoothly and our technical systems are stable.
    >
    >And whether the Needle is live on the home screen or not, Times journalists will be looking at the data we collect and using the statistical model to publish frequent updates about what we learn.

    Yeah. Those systems are gonna melt the fuck down.

  19. During times of economic boom companies will be quick to tell ”workers are it’s greatest asset”, and talk big how ”they are a new breed” and legislation to protect workers is not needed due to their high moral standard.

    During times of economic recession, the same companies will be very quiet and invent all kinds of excuses to walk back on the very same principles they swore to live by.

    Rinse & Repeat.

    #LabourUnions are your friend. Yes I’m talking to you #tech #workers.

  20. Updated the list of Labour Unions in Science Fiction.

    We're always interested in more. If you see a reference to a strike or a labour union in a science fiction or fantasy work, please let us know so I can add it to this list.
