#unions — Public Fediverse posts

IF ANYTHING… #labor #unions involved in the #music #concerts touring business should be releasing statements about what happened to Sheeran & Macklemore.

Ed Sheeran knew exactly what he was doing when “Ed Sheeran” contracted Macklemore.

APPLAUD THEM FOR TAKING THE RISK

in this KIRIARCHY both Sheeran & Macklemore are victims of billionaire Robert Kraft. they are showing us how both are labor to Kraft’s capitalist #fascism.

censure Robert Kraft.

BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ENEMY.

We in the US don't believe in worker power. The wealthy scoff, the politicians are distracted, and the workers are cowed. Yet it's another lever to hold AI companies accountable.

"[The workers] can organize, ... and, if necessary, stop doing harmful work, ... Instead of begging others to save the world, they can do it themselves.

"In other words, in America, in Silicon Valley, the literal end of the world is considered more realistic than forming a union."

"garment factory owners, including Jewish employers, saw the union become more powerful throughout the 1920s and 30s. They saw Jews espousing socialism, Italians preaching anarchism, and they started to look for workers elsewhere"

Right-Wing Immigration Rhetoric Crashes Into America’s Labor Shortage

Farmers, builders and hospitality employers need immigrant labor. The right’s demagoguery cannot erase the workforce reality sustaining America’s economy.

Ike wanted to reform the Republican Party into a sane and 'mature' participant in social democracy. Unfortunately, it didn't last.

"If you’re a labor leader who backed Trump like the (extremely defenestratable) Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien, you’re gonna have to fight it out with the Trump coalition members who would like to ban unions, shutter the NLRB, and eliminate labor law altogether."

@pluralistic, 2025

You think O'Brien doesn't know that? That's probably why the Teamsters' PAC still donates more to Dems than GOP;

…Most of #VeteransAffairs’s 400,000 #workers are also represented by the AFGE, which has sued the #Trump admin for staffing cuts.

Everett Kelley, AFGE’s national president, said the decision was “another clear example of retaliation.”

The Center of American Progress analyzed #federal #employment data in May & found that ending #CollectiveBargaining agreements at more than a dozen #FederalAgencies would affect 4 out of 5 #FederalWorkers.

The #EPA & the US Citizenship & Immigration Services [#USCIS] have also canceled their #CollectiveBargaining agreements. The agencies’ actions come after #VeteransAffairs, the federal government’s second-largest agency, announced plans last Wednesday to end nearly all of its contracts with federal #unions.

New Episode!

#Police unions should not exist. Not only do they protect corrupt, violent, even murderous cops, but they are also staunch defenders of the status quo.

They use their power to grow in both size and power and to use their strength against the #WorkingClass and poor.

They are the ultra-violent arm of the state which is dead set against the organizing of the #proletariat.
