RE: https://mstdn.social/@stux/117277024414992521
so many #labor #unions intersect the #entertainment industries, we really need to push pressure on them to do the right thing and organize around this issue.

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."

Electronic shelf labels likely to cost jobs and drive up grocery prices, US report warns
AFL-CIO calls for ban on such labels to protect consumers and #workers from surveillance pricing and job cuts
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/09/electronic-shelf-labels-groceryManufacturers have hailed the labels as a way to collect huge amounts of personal data from customers, increase profits and cut #labor costs.
The report argues that electronic shelf labels use the same pricing systems that allow dynamic pricing – price changes such as increasing allergy medication prices when pollen counts are high – to surveillance pricing, changing prices based on personal data.
These technologies are being implemented across the US retail industry at a time when food prices have surpassed inflation and wage gains, increasing 33% over the past seven years.

"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."

Ah, the Wikimedia Foundation, that bastion of free knowledge, now wants to freely ignore #unions 🚫🤖. They've traded in their "all-for-one" ethos for a shiny new anti-union law firm 🤝🔨. Maybe they can update their robot policy to include "robots work better without pesky unions" 🤖➡️👋.

March on Sunday in Mexico City in Defense of Cuba
from La Jornada on FB July 24, 2026
[translated from Spanish by FB]Social organizations hope that the march in defense of #Cuba this Sunday in #MexicoCity will be massive, with a participation higher than that they have had in the mobilizations held every July 26 for decades, mainly to protest the hardening of Donald #Trump's government policy against the island and Washington's measures aimed at other countries and progressive movements.
Olivia Garza Joa, vice president of the Association of Cubans Resident in #Mexico José Martí, explained that for more than a month, solidarity organizations with Cuba, social movements, urban and popular collectives, #unions, parties and other groups have come together to organize a unitary march.

Medieval peasants were far from the non-stop labourers of popular myth. Thanks to the Church, Sundays were strictly rest days, and dozens of mandatory holy days, feast weeks, and seasonal breaks meant they enjoyed anywhere from eight weeks to up to half the year off.

"On March 20, members of the ProPublica Guild, one of the largest nonprofit newsroom unions in the U.S., overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike. Out of the roughly 150 journalists, copyeditors, videographers and other newsroom workers in the Guild, 92% of members voted to walk off the job if ProPublica doesn’t agree to their contract terms in the coming weeks.
The vote comes two and a half years into negotiations over the Guild’s first collective bargaining agreement, which started soon after the union was recognized back in August 2023.
One of the sticking points at the bargaining table has been an article that would prohibit ProPublica from laying off employees due to AI adoption. Alongside the dispute over AI, the Guild is also pushing for “just cause” when firing unit members, a provision that would give senior employees more job security during layoffs, and cost-of-living wage increases.
The Guild’s vote marks the first time a major U.S. newsroom has authorized a strike, at least in part, over AI protections."

Twin Cities #Unions Planning ‘Largest US Rent Strike in 100+ Years’ as ICE Occupation Drives Eviction Crisis
“Tenants in Minnesota are in a crisis,” said Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our local economy.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/minnesota-rent-strike-icefrom #CommonDreams
Feb. 17, 2026Tenant and #LaborUnions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the “largest #RentStrike in the United States in the last 100 years.”
Beginning on March 1, if Democratic #Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz does not meet their urgent demands for an eviction moratorium and rent relief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 #workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

Engadget: TikTok sued by former workers over alleged union-busting. “You know things are messed up when a Big Tech company fights accusations of union-busting by insisting it was only AI layoffs. That’s where things stand after a group of fired TikTok moderators in the UK filed a legal claim with an employment tribunal.”

"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."

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