#Sony Music to Shutter Newly #Unionized #Punk Merch Warehouse | #Pitchfork
https://pitchfork.com/story/sony-music-to-shutter-newly-unionized-punk-merch-warehouse/
> The company denies union-busting allegations, saying its closure of #KingsRoadMerch in #Minneapolis was planned long before #union talks began
😒
uh huh1) sony knows what dealing with warehouses is like. They knew what they were getting into in the beginning. They're an old, massive conglomerate corporation that makes all kinds of things.
2) Sounds like they want to move everything to china.
3) Maybe this was their plan from the beginning.It's important to have unions. It's important to have domestic goods. The more local, the better.

The @pontifex being an obnoxious #WhiteSox fan is my favorite thing.
Like, many many years from now #Vatican archivists are gonna be like, “why is all of this random baseball stuff here?”. And then we’re going to have historians explaining the South Side of #Chicago in Latin.
But the visit yesterday from my favoritest White Sox, @aj_pierzynskift, is the best. First off, for the first time #PopeLeoXIV may have been more excited to meet the guy rather than the other way around. But secondly, there’s this exchange:
AJ: “You know, the White Sox are in first place right now.”
Pope Bob: “Oh, I’m watching and paying attention. Don’t worry.”There’s so much built in here.
1. No pressure guys, it’s only the Pope you’ll be letting down.
2. You’re on a mission from God.
3. The performance of the Chicago White Sox once again has geopolitical implications.*Centuries from now: “Why did Pope Leo XIV declare a Crusade in the 21st Century?” Well, it all started because American baseball owners locked out their #unionized players in 2027 during a #labor dispute…
* - #American President #BarackObama is also a notorious White Sox fan.

Yet, unlike some independent clinics that had to close, #PlannedParenthood's national federation brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, the majority of which is spent on #policy & #legal efforts rather than state-level #medical services.
The org & some of its state affiliates have also battled allegations of mismanagement, & complaints about staffing & patient care. PPMI staffers in 5 clinics #unionized last year, w/some citing problems in mgmt, #workplace & #care conditions.

https://jacobin.com/2024/10/walmart-warehouse-union-canada/
In Mississauga, Ontario, 800 workers just won the first union at a Walmart warehouse anywhere in Canada or the US. It’s a big breakthrough at the notoriously anti-union retail giant.

#Malaysia has become a hotspot for global #electronics & #semiconductor investment, with country's electrical & electronics export seeing a sharp increase of 54.2%. However, the surge of electronics & semiconductor investment in Malaysia is sharply contrasted with low #unionization; only 6% of all #Malaysian #workers are #unionized, the majority in the public sector.

Hey #tech worker, if you want to have any control over what happens to the products you work on and who your employer signs contracts with, you gotta make sure you, your team, and your department is #unionized. Don’t procrastinate this. There is power in a union.

…#unionized industries like health care & airlines would likely be the least affected, since their working hrs are hashed out at the bargaining table in many cases. #AB2751 specifically allows #CollectiveBargaining agreements to take precedence over #RightToDisconnect protections.
Other industries w/less #union penetration, such as #tech, would likely see clearer rules ahead of time e.g. like when #coders would be required to pull all-nighters to ship the latest update.

@kevincox @veeesix So, why won't they release their business case showing that? They're banding about figures of $1M savings over a year, or maybe three years (depending on source) but nothing to back it up. A rather piddly sum given the size of their budget.
Did they even do a proper business case for it? It smells too much like this is just a payoff to his business buddies, and the fact that they'll be putting largely #unionized #ServiceOntario workers out of work is just gravy.

What a great story of the power of #solidarity.
90% of workers in Sweden belong to #LaborUnions.
Tesla won’t sign a collective bargaining agreement with mechanics so dock workers won’t unload Tesla cars, janitors won’t clean Tesla buildings, etc.

'No #Contract, No #Coffee': #Starbucks Workers Hold Largest #Strike in Company History
Workers participating in the "#RedCup Rebellion" told Motherboard that all they were asking was that the company come to the table with them.
Workers from hundreds of stores refused to come to work, instead holding #picketlines demanding Starbucks bargain with their #union, #StarbucksWorkersUnited. Since first store #unionized, #NLRB has tallied ballots in 454 elections, 369 successful.

#Starbucks announced it is increasing pay and benefits for most of its U.S. hourly workers after ending its fiscal year with record sales...BUT, the company said Monday that #unionized workers won't be eligible.
Withholding benefits from unionized stores is against the law.
At least 366 U.S. Starbucks stores (out of 9,600) have voted to unionize since 2021. #WorkersUnited will file unfair labor practice charges against Starbucks with the NLRB.

The #restaurant #industry has long coordinated efforts to suppress labor costs through the #NRA, a multimillion-dollar #lobbying machine funded both by its restaurant members and by the fees #workers pay for required food-safety classes, according to a recent New York Times report.
The group has spent its #war chest on lobbying campaigns to preserve a subminimum #wage for tipped workers — who are disproportionately young, women, and people of color, and far more likely to live in #poverty than regular minimum wage workers — and to help block state and federal sick leave proposals and minimum wage increases.
But now, restaurant executives are on edge. #Union campaigns are suddenly penetrating their industry, which employs about 10 percent of the American #workforce and has one of the lowest #unionization rates of any sector. Over the past few years, baristas have #unionized nearly 280 Starbucks stores in the face of enormous odds, and dozens of other coffee #shops and restaurants have followed suit.
“The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, every newspaper reports on every union win… when an unfair labor practice charge is filed, when there are challenges to elections,” said Felice Ekelman, a principal at Jackson Lewis, one of the oldest and most infamous union avoidance law firms in the country. “When did this become first page #news?”
“And guess who’s reading it?” replied Laura Pierson-Scheinberg, one of Ekelman’s Jackson Lewis colleagues, as the two sat across from each other on the main stage of the summit. “My kids. Literally. I have an 18-year-old, my kids are into it.”
The two lawyers were discussing a new threat for the restaurant industry: the unexpected rise of union campaigns in workplaces that, for decades, have largely been immune from such organizing efforts.
“Before, I used to say… ‘[Unionization] isn’t a problem for you in the restaurant industry,’” said Pierson-Scheinberg. But now, she warned, “Kids do not care about paying union dues. Two percent of pay, are you kidding me? Their Netflix costs more. They think it’s a hell of a deal.”
The “kids,” she added, are #organizing #workplaces which would have previously seemed unreachable.
