  8. Turns out the late shift going until 11 ends in three weeks. It ends 10:30 starting next month. (Which does make a difference that late in the day.)

    Because the Union fought for it.

  9. 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
    theguardian.com/us-news/2026/s

    Manufacturers 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.

  13. #Democracy Forward, a legal nonprofit that helped represent the #immigration groups & #unions behind the lawsuit, celebrated the ruling.

    “This ruling reaffirms a basic principle: The federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways or discriminate against people based on where they come from,” said Skye Perryman, the group’s president. “These unlawful policies caused enormous harm to families, workers, asylum seekers & communities across the country.”

  15. Wir haben Genossinnen der Basisgewerkschaft SUDD Cobas in Prato besucht. Der SUDD Cobas existiert seit 2018. Im Textildistrikt im norditalienischen Prato kämpfen die Arbeiter*innen dafür, nicht mehr 12 Stunden am Tag und 6-7 Tage die Woche arbeiten zu müssen. Allein zwischen März und August 2025 haben Arbeiter'innen 80 Streiks für die Durchsetzung des 8-Stunden Tages und der 5-Tage Woche geführt.

    Derzeit sind nur die Arbeiter der Bügelei L'Alba im Ausstand. Wir haben uns mit drei ihnen und einer Genossin der Gewerkschaft unterhalten.

  16. Millions are expected to join the nationwide mobilization launched by a combination of central trade #unions and an united front of #farmers called the #SamyuktaKisanMorcha.

    India’s major farmers and workers unions are coming together to launch a nationwide mobilization on Tuesday, November 26, to demand the government address the distress faced by the majority of the country’s population of farmers and workers.

    A call for nationwide #protests was given by the united farmers front, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and a joint platform of the Central Trade Unions earlier this month. Left-affiliated farmer’s organizations All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), All India Agricultural Workers Union (ALAWU), and Center for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), one of India’s largest trade union federations, are part of the call to mobilize.

  17. Congressional #Republicans have a different plan—more giant tax cuts for #billionaires & big #corporations, ending the Affordable Care Act [#ACA], undermining workers by cutting #overtime & making it harder to #organize, & imposing a national sales #tax that would raise costs by nearly $4k/year. While they put billionaires first, we’ll keep fighting to grow the #MiddleClass.

  18. Make no mistake: We have more to do to lower #costs & expand #opportunity. #Congress should pass our plan to build millions of new #homes, expand prescription #drug price caps, empower #workers & protect the #RightToOrganize, & cut #taxes for hardworking #families.

  19. Turning to #unions, #KamalaHarris promised to “double the number of registered #apprenticeships by the end of my first term”. #Harris also proposed eliminating “#degree requirements while increasing #skills development”, [aka the #PaperCeiling] something she said she would do for federal #workers.

    “I’ve always been, & will always be, a strong supporter of #workers & #unions, & I also believe we need to engage those who create most of the #jobs in America.

    “Look, I am a #capitalist. I believe in free & fair markets.”
