  1. @kazarnowicz I used to have a sticker on my car that I got from the Charleston central labor, I believe. It said Unions: people who gave you the weekend.
    If you look at fats when unions were strong, we had the strongest middle class. Wages were good, benefits were good, spending was equally good. #prounion

  6. “They Actually Had a List”: #ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark #LaborRights Case

    “We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly #ProUnion worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.

    "An immigration raid in western #NewYork on Friday targeted a group of immigrants involved in a landmark statewide effort by #FarmWorkers to #unionize.

    "On Friday morning at around 9:30 a.m., federal agents in unmarked cars and bearing no agency insignia pulled over a bus in Albion, New York, about 35 miles west of Rochester, and took 14 people of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms into custody. All of the detainees, who hailed from Mexico and Guatemala, were year-round employees of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms, a family-owned business in nearby Kent, New York, which has been locked in a multiyear battle to prevent workers from unionizing.

    "The company is one of five agricultural businesses that, together with a state growers’ association, have tried for years to overturn or chip away at New York’s 2019 #FarmLaborLaw. The law enshrined protections for the right of #farmworkers — whether seasonal or year-round — to seek union representation.

    " 'This was strange because they actually had a list of most of the workers on the bus.'

    "Several of the workers taken into custody on Friday have been active in efforts to unionize year-round employees, including at least one who has spoken publicly in favor of joining the United Farm Workers of America, according to Elizabeth Strater, director of strategic campaigns for #UFW, the storied labor union.

    " 'We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,' said Strater.

    "Most of the workers detained on Friday hail from #Mexico or #Guatemala.

    "The raid did not appear to be a broad sweep but rather a targeted enforcement aimed at specific people, according to sources who have been in contact with the families and spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity to candidly discuss a sensitive legal situation."
