    The illustration is of "the Haymarket affair/massacre/riot--which was the aftermath of a bombing at a labor demonstration on May 4 1886" (Wikipedia)

    Workers have had to be firm in their demands for just and equitable labor laws for centuries, or be crushed under the boots of capital bros. It's always ever been thus.

  2. 🚨 Attention Port of Long Beach workers! 🚨 Did you know that break rights vary significantly based on your classification? Union longshore workers enjoy strong protections, while non-union truckers often face violations due to misclassification. Know your rights, document any issues, and seek legal help if needed. Remember, retaliation for reporting is illegal!

  4. In a wolrd where Amazon is already so deeply distrusted this does not look good for them. I get that these claims are "alleged" and Amazon as company has a different story to tell. But their justification just sounds so empty to me. A staff person died on their watch

  7. Large-scale layoffs across Los Angeles media companies are raising serious legal questions. At-will employment does not permit terminations based on retaliation or discrimination. Employees should understand the protections available under California law.

  8. Watch as the corporate magician makes your benefits… DISAPPEAR in a puff of red-stamped denial!

    You get hurt on the job, file the claim, and POOF — suddenly the paperwork vanishes faster than your rent money.

    Who else has seen this “magic trick” in real life?
    I know I have 😞

  10. «How the Climate Crisis Impacts Workers and Migrants» webinar

    🗓️ Thursday 2nd April 2026
    💻 Online (Zoom) 🕑 14:00 UTC
    ✍️ Inscription: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist 

    > The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in global temperatures, with each year setting new records as the warmest. This increase—driven by human-induced climate change—results in more frequent and intense droughts, floods, erratic weather patterns, and natural disasters.

    > These slow- and sudden-onset weather events make working conditions in already precarious labour sectors, such as agriculture, fishing, or garment production, unbearable. They also destroy many people’s homes and livelihoods, forcing them to undertake risky migrations or accept exploitative jobs, thereby increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and human trafficking.

    > To unpack some of these dynamics, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women is organising a webinar to analyse how the worsening climate crisis is impacting workers and migrants. Speakers will discuss changing working conditions in countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the strategies that communities are implementing to resist resource extraction and exploitation, and what steps governments must take to protect people’s rights and well-being. 

    I'm almost positively squealing here. ❤️‍🔥🌲📜💚🔥
    One doesn't see this link highlighted often enough. 💖

    Ofc it's GAATW noting it. ❤️❤️❤️

    As they perfectly put it:

    > GAATW sees the phenomenon of human trafficking as intrinsically embedded in the context of migration for the purpose of labour.

  17. Working hours are highly regulated in Finland. It would be outright illegal to push workers to do "996" (72 hours/week). While it is possible to do short stints of extra hours, this possibility is limited to very specific sectors only, and it doesn't include software development or similar. Overtime is regulated and requires employee agreement.

  18. A long road of recovery for America, so a note to American activists and protestors - prepare for a marathon, not a sprint.

    You have to fight

    1. Republicans
    2. Corporate-corrupted neoliberal-leaning democrats
    3. Epstein class
    4. Billionaires

    And then we can all work on fixing society, climate and human rights, phew!

  19. Guess who's really building those surveillance AI models? Flock's secret sauce got spilled: turns out gig workers in the Philippines are doing the heavy lifting of classifying footage for their US cameras. The 'future of AI' often looks a lot like the past of cheap labor.

  20. Speech by Joseph Stalin on the draft constitution, November 25, 1936. Extraordinary VIII All-Union Congress of Soviets of the USSR
    The constitutions of bourgeois countries are usually based on the belief in the immutability of the capitalist system. The main foundation of these constitutions is the principles of capitalism, its basic pillars: private ownership of land, forests, factories, plants, and other means of production; the exploitation of man by man and the existence of exploiters and exploited; the insecurity of the working majority at one end of society and the luxury of the non-working but secure minority at the other end; and so on and so forth. They are based on these and similar foundations of capitalism. They reflect them and enshrine them in law.

    In contrast, the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is based on the fact of the elimination of the capitalist system, on the fact of the victory of the socialist system in the USSR. The main basis of the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is the principles of socialism, its fundamental foundations, already won and implemented: socialist ownership of land, forests, factories, plants, and other means of production; the elimination of exploitation and exploitative classes; the elimination of poverty for the majority and luxury for the minority; the elimination of unemployment; labor as the duty and honor of every able-bodied citizen according to the formula: “those who do not work shall not eat.” The right to work, that is, the right of every citizen to a guaranteed job; the right to rest; the right to education; etc. The draft of the new Constitution is based on these and similar foundations of socialism. It reflects them and enshrines them in law.

    ...

    Bourgeois constitutions tacitly proceed from the premise that nations and races cannot be equal, that there are nations with full rights and nations with limited rights, and that, in addition, there is a third category of nations or races, for example, in the colonies, which have even fewer rights than nations with limited rights. This means that all these constitutions are essentially nationalistic, that is, constitutions of dominant nations.

    In contrast to these constitutions, the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is, on the contrary, deeply internationalist. It proceeds from the assumption that all nations and races are equal. It proceeds from the assumption that differences in skin color or language, cultural level or level of state development, as well as any other differences between nations and races, cannot serve as a basis for justifying national inequality. It proceeds from the assumption that all nations and races, regardless of their past and present situation, regardless of their strength and weakness, should enjoy equal rights in all spheres of economic, social, political, and cultural life of society.

    ...

    The distinctive feature of the draft of the new USSR Constitution is that it is free from such reservations and restrictions. For it, there are no active or passive citizens; for it, all citizens are active. It does not recognize any difference in rights between men and women, “sedentary” and “non-sedentary” persons, the wealthy and the poor, the educated and the uneducated. For it, all citizens are equal in their rights. It is not property status, national origin, gender, or official position, but the personal abilities and personal labor of each citizen that determine his or her position in society.

    Finally, there is one more feature of the draft new Constitution. Bourgeois constitutions usually limit themselves to establishing the rights of citizens, without concern for the conditions for exercising these rights, the possibility of exercising them, or the means of exercising them. They talk about the equality of citizens, but forget that there can be no real equality between the master and the worker, between the landowner and the peasant, if the former have wealth and political weight in society, and the latter are deprived of both, if the former are exploiters and the latter are exploited. Or again: they talk about freedom of speech, assembly, and the press, but they forget that all these freedoms can become empty words for the working class if it is deprived of the opportunity to have at its disposal suitable premises for meetings, good printing houses, a sufficient quantity of printing paper, etc.

    The distinctive feature of the new Constitution is that it does not limit itself to establishing the formal rights of citizens, but shifts the focus to the question of guarantees for these rights and the means of exercising them. It does not simply proclaim the equality of citizens' rights, but also ensures that the elimination of exploitation and the liberation of citizens from all forms of exploitation are enshrined in law. It does not simply proclaim the right to work, but also ensures its legislative consolidation by establishing the absence of crises in Soviet society and the elimination of unemployment. It does not simply proclaim democratic freedoms, but also ensures them by law with known material resources. It is therefore clear that the democracy of the new draft Constitution is not “ordinary” and “generally accepted” democracy in general, but socialist democracy.

    These are the main features of the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR.

    This is how the draft of the new Constitution reflects the shifts and changes in the economic and socio-political life of the USSR that took place between 1924 and 1936.

    "Pravda" newspaper. November 26, 1936

    Socialism Or Barbarism - #TheReds
    youtu.be/xz8oTfNFq1I?si=6z37P8

    Lyrics:

    The cities burn, the rivers dry,
    They sell us hope, we buy the lie.
    A world in chains, a rising flood,
    The gears grind on, soaked in blood.
    And from the ashes of the old,
    A voice of fire, brave and bold.
    It's socialism or barbarism, nothing in between,
    A future built on justice, or a nightmare machine.
    We rise or we perish, there’s no other way —
    Choose love or the sword, we decide today.
    The workers march, the bosses scheme,
    They steal our labor, kill the dream.
    But from the fields to factory floor,
    We won’t be slaves forevermore.
    Hear Rosa whisper through the storm:
    "The world can break, or be reborn."
    It's socialism or barbarism, nothing in between,
    A future built on justice, or a nightmare machine.
    We rise or we perish, there’s no other way
    Choose love or the sword, we decide today.
    History bends, but it remembers
    The blood spilled in the cold Decembers.
    If we don’t fight, if we don’t shout
    They’ll burn the whole damn planet out.
    Breakdown
    No more war for oil and gold.
    No more lies that we are sold.
    We take the world back in our hands
    No gods, no masters, just demands.
    It's socialism or barbarism, the line is drawn in flame,
    We march for liberation, not fortune or fame.
    We rise, we resist, we fight, we stay
    For the red dawn that breaks a brighter day.
    Choose now…
    Choose clear…
    Socialism…
    Or disappear!

  24. #MayDay event in #PortlandMaine!

    May Day
    #NationalDayOfAction
    #StopTheBillionaireTakeover

    Thursday, May 1
    3:30 - 6pm EDT

    USM Portland Campus | Green Space in front of McGoldrick Center for Career & Student Success
    35 Bedford St.
    Portland, ME 04101

    Organized Locally by the Maine May Day Committee.

    @Todd : "We’ll begin at 3:30 on the Portland campus of the University of Southern Maine to speak out against Trump’s threat to our public universities. And, we’ll march on the boss to demand the UMaine system bargain in good faith and sign a union contract with graduate student workers represented by the United Auto Workers. The two go hand in hand.

    Next, we’ll march to the Post Office on Forest Ave to oppose Trump’s threats to privatize it and hear from workers threatened with mass layoffs. Then up past Portland High School and the Portland Public Library in solidarity with educators and students opposed to Trump’s destruction of the Department of Education and his attacks on LGTBQ+ and immigrant students. Finally we’ll march up Congress Street during rush hour to the Portland Museum of Art to support funding for the arts and hold a final community rally starting around 5:00 pm. We’ll have a program of speaking out against Trump’s attack and offering ideas about how to deepen solidarity between all the different parts of our movement for democracy and justice.

    We need your help. Please attend the march if you are able. It’s a big state, so if you can’t get to Portland, please support or organize another action in your town or region hosted by the Maine Education Association and the Maine AFL-CIO or any other community group that steps up to stand up. Strength in solidarity."
