  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

  3. “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."

  5. This post by @jdst258 was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm finally going to start a #Capitalism #NeoLiberalism #ProUnion #ClassWar thread on my "normie" discussion forum.

    This is in addition to the #Christofascism thread that's been going for years & the thread to track police & prison misconduct.

    mastodon.online/@jdst258/11268

    What should the focus be? What about the first post? I try to maintain a balance of solid information/links & memes/graphics to grab attention & drive a point home.

    What are your best #Anarchism or #AntiCapitalism links and/or memes?

  7. I'm very #ProUnion & would love to get rid of #Captalism but until then, employee-owned cooperatives should be encouraged as much as possible.

    I am lucky/privileged enough to work for one now. Beats the hell out of the 10 years I spent at another lab owned by a greedy narcissist.

  9. You've heard of a concept album, but what about a "proof of concept" album?

    What if that concept was to use the #Fediverse & collaborate with multiple artists on an #Antifascist #audiocollage

    It might sound like this.

  13. Two members of city council - the youngest two - have been suspended from council for talking to strinking city employees, as well as publically supporting them and their quest to obtain a living wage.

    I know them both, personally. They both actually care about people and our community.

    They are being iced because they are #prounion. This is #fascist and blatantly #antidemocratic.

  14. I posted the Billy Bragg song answer to Oliver Anthony recently,  but this quote is too good not to pass along.

    "Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing "Rich Men North of Richmond" the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear.
    "Help that guy out" Woody keeps telling me.
    "Let him know there's a way to deal with those problems he's singing about."
    Today I sat down & wrote this response to Mr Anthony's song, for people like him & people like you."
