Today in Labor History November 28, 1994: In the wake of years of outsourcing and downsizing, Bell-Atlantic announced another 5,600 lay-offs. In response, 1,200 employees in Pennsylvania came to work in T-shirts that portrayed themselves as road kill on the information superhighway. Management suspended them all without pay when they refused to remove the shirts.

Merkt die #Union eigentlich, wie sehr sie mit ihrer Art und Weise dem Vertrauen in die Politik in Deutschland schadet?
Wenn man als Politiker über Dinge meckert und die öffentlich ablehnt, sollte man auch konstruktive Vorschläge unterbreiten.
Von der #Union kommen aber nur leere Hülsen wie „Abschaffung der Kindergrundsicherung“ und ähnliche asoziale Aussagen ohne wirkliche Substanz.
Und warum will die #Union Neuwahlen? Weil die wissen, dass die aktuell mit ihren Nazi-Freunden der dreckigen #AfD gemeinsam eine stabile Mehrheit haben dürften und zur Machtergreifung kollaboriert man auch mit Rechtsradikalen und vergisst die Brandmauer.
Wir können nur hoffen, dass #Merz niemals Kanzler wird. Dieser Typ ist eine Gefahr für die Gesellschaft

Unions Should Start Planning for a Mass Strike on May Day 2028
Calls for a general strike usually skip over the hard work of organizing one. But UAW leader Shawn Fain is urging unions to align their contract expiration dates for May 1, 2028 — setting up the possibility of a mass May Day strike.

Dockworkers and Labor Activists Can Block the Transport of Arms to Israel
Pro-Palestine “Block the Boat” actions, where dockworkers block the transport of arms to Israel, have proliferated in recent years. Recalling actions against apartheid South Africa, they’re an effective way for labor to oppose Israel’s war on Gaza.

Today in Labor History November 27, 1937: The ILGWU-commissioned musical "Pins & Needles" opened on Broadway, with a cast made up entirely of International Lady Garment Worker Union members. Rehearsals were held at night and on weekends, and performances were all on Fridays and Saturdays to appease their bosses (i.e., keep their jobs). In 1962, a 25th anniversary edition of the score was released featuring Barbra Streisand.

Tesla meets Sweden.
About 130 mechanics began their ongoing strike in October after their employer, a Tesla subsidiary in Sweden, announced that it would not recognize their labor #union.
The industrial action soon spread to dockworkers who started blocking deliveries of Tesla cars at the country’s ports, to electricians who stopped maintenance work for the carmaker, and other workers in Sweden."
90% of Sweden's workers are covered by collective agreements.

#Automaker has always had hard stance against #unions, and it has been able to fend off #unionization efforts at its manufacturing facilities. Several other unions in Sweden have joined forces to mess with Tesla’s operations in order to put pressure on the company. Port workers, electricians, and cleaning services that deal with Tesla in the country have refused to work with the company!

I think my favourite part of the #Tesla vs #Union thingy going on in Sweden is that the musicians' union joined in and some music (not a lot, but still) now is banned in Tesla car media players.
My second favourite part is watching people argue about the Swedish system with collective agreements when they clearly don't understand it.

Today in Labor History November 25, 1946: St. Paul teachers, led mostly by women, walked out of their classrooms in American’s first organized teachers’ strike. 1,165 teachers and principals (all represented by the same union) remained out until Dec. 27 in what they called the “strike for better schools.” 90% of teachers voted to strike. Conditions were deplorable. Classrooms designed for 35 students often had 50. Teachers had to buy textbooks for students, yet they were among the lowest paid teachers in the nation.

Today in Labor History November 25, 1947: The "Hollywood Ten" were blacklisted by Hollywood movie studios for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The blacklist lasted for 13 years, when Dalton Trumbo, a former Communist Party, was finally credited as the screenwriter of the films “Exodus” and “Spartacus.” Some of the stars accused of having Communist ties included Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Katharine Hepburn and Fredric March. In 1941, Walt Disney blamed "Communist agitation" for the cartoonists and animators' strike. In 1945, Gerald L. K. Smith, founder of the fascist America First Party, began giving speeches attacking the "alien minded Russian Jews in Hollywood." Ronald Reagan, who was president of the actor’s union, testified before HUAC that a clique within the union was using "communist-like tactics." His first wife, actress Jane Wyman, blamed his allegations against friends and colleagues as a factor leading to their divorce.

Today in Labor History November 23, 1903: Army troops were sent to Cripple Creek, Colorado to put down a rebellion by striking coal miners. 600 union members were thrown into a military bullpen, and held for weeks without charges. When a lawyer arrived with a writ of habeas corpus, General Bell, who led the repression, responded "Habeas corpus, hell! We'll give 'em post mortems!” The strike was led by Big Bill Haywood and the Western Federation of Miners, which, at the time, was the most militant union in the country, calling for revolution and abolition of the wage system.

'Tesla union conflict expanded, now affects charging stations'
Don't you just love when unions work together against a horrific problem?
'The Elektrikerna union expands its sympathy measures against Tesla. Now the car giant's charging stations will be covered.
"The blockade means that we will also not repair if something breaks in Tesla's transformer stations or the associated feeder line, i.e. all incoming electricity to Tesla's charging stations."
So writes Elektrikerna's head of negotiations Mikael Pettersson in a communiqué.
The background to the sympathy measures is the union IF Metall's demand for a collective agreement for Tesla's workers.'

It's very easy for any worker to feel like they are a doing it just for the pay and disassociate themselves from feeling like they can bring any change to improve their working lives and the lives of their coworkers. The hardest part in organizing is getting a coworker to get over that hump. Sometimes it seems impossible, and sometimes the boss makes the organizing easy. If you are committed to bring about that change, bring someone in to that workplace or find one for support #union #unionpower

You don't have the time or mental energy to do that? Of course you don't! We all work too much! That's the #neoliberal world we live in. So quit your job! Find a better job!
So what's the solution?
There are many!
First, if you can, refuse to work for a corporation that exploit you! Go work for a non-profit or a worker co-op!
If you can't, form a union in your workplace. It's time for your bosses to start listening to their workers!
