#organized-labor — Public Fediverse posts

Unions want to build data centers because those are big jobs. But nobody wants them in their neighborhoods. We don't have to choose between jobs and exploitation - we can build big things that actually benefit people.

And on Friday morning we got the not-unexpected news: 98% of our members voted to ratify this contract!

Democratic unions, run by and for the members, are unstoppable. We will analyze our just-concluded action, learn from our mistakes, but mostly we will celebrate our win!!

And after a short break to rest & recharge, we'll get back to organizing our co-workers.

VICTORY!!! My coworkers and I in UPTE took on the University of California to fight for our patients, students, & research. Early this morning, our bargaining team announced they had reached a Tentative Agreement with the UC. Details unknown at this time, but it's no coincidence that this was announced shortly before UPTE, AFSCME, & CNA unions went out on the largest strike in UC's history.
