"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.

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.

"More than 200 staffers at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind the encyclopedia Wikipedia, have voted 158-14 to join the Communications Workers of America labor union. The US National Labor Relations Board counted ballots on Thursday.

Three Wikimedia employees tell WIRED they will now have a mechanism to challenge management as the organization faces growing competition from AI chatbots and a drop in volunteer editors. The 25-year-old, San Francisco-based foundation employs nearly 700 people across 39 countries, most of them working remotely. The contingent joining the union includes employees in functions such as software engineering, finance, and communications.

Lauren de Lench, who has been a lead technical program manager at the Wikimedia Foundation since 2021, says she voted to unionize because she had seen too many colleagues decline to speak up during internal meetings out of fear of retaliation for raising issues or proposing far-out ideas."

To get a sense of what Public Interest cover when they're not interviewing party leaders, here's an interview with Mark Wilson, the local secretary of the Rail and Maritime Transport Union for the Lyttleton port;

https://www.publicinterest.nz/is-this-privatisation-by-another-name/

The main focus of the interview is a proposal to lease the port's operations to a consortium including DP World. A company owned by the state of Dubai, with a very shady international reputation.

Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.

Iranian Oil Workers Launch Historic Strike
Fifteen thousand workers went on strike at a major gas field in Iran at the economically critical South Pars field.

Fifteen thousand workers went on strike at a major gas field in #Iran last week, demanding improved wages and working conditions at the economically critical South Pars field. Earlier this month, the Association of Gas Industry #Workers’ #Unions of Bushehr Province—the largest #labor organization representing the workers of Iran’s #gas refineries at South Pars—announced a weekly work stoppage over longstanding grievances at the site.

A letter announcing the strike laid out several key demands that the workers had put to Iranian authorities related to inequitable pay, difficult working conditions, and inadequate leave time for workers at the site.

Let’s celebrate May Day, the International Workers’ Day, by continuing the never ending task of promoting and expanding our workers’ rights against the capitalists and rich exploiting our labor. Solidarity is how we do the work and get there.
