Hey Labor Notes folks! Gonna post up with my The Real News podcast stuff one more time in the front entryway to the Hyatt from 1:30 - 3:00 before heading to the airport. Come say hi and tell us about yourself, your struggle, & your experience at #LaborNotes2024 โค๏ธโ๐ฝ๐ค๐ง
Our co-chair Abigail Higgins on the Organizing Remotely panel at #LaborNotes2024 : 'Working toward legislative wins through digital organizing has been a really great way for members to realize what they can do collectively.'
We had a great time at last night's happy hour with Headline Club! Best part (besides the company) was getting to share about the Freelance Worker Protection Act, going into effect in Illinois on July 1! #FreelanceIsntFree
Tonight w/ Headline Club!! Coming from Labor Notes? It's just a short ride on the blue line to Belmont. You can also find us at the conference meetup for media workers & join us from there! (We'll be in the cool black shirts sporting NWU's new logo.)
Thinking about how to use policy & the legislative process to build worker power, to help with organizing, to protect workers like #safestaffing or domestic worker protection - great panel at #LaborNotes2024
'The most effective way to get people engaged is to explain why what they're doing is meaningful' - meaning machine on using legislative wins to build worker power at #LaborNotes2024 ! โ๐ผ
What a day to be at #LaborNotes2024 . Iโm in a workshop on free speech and Palestine. someone said being in this room is the least lonely theyโve felt. I feel the same way.
Our members are helping kick off #LaborNotes2024 with a panel on free speech & Palestine: 'As a union we're concerned with retaliation as a workplace justice issue, but we also understand organizing around retaliation as one way to fight back against the war machine.' Olivia Schwob
As Matt Pearce ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ธ said on last week's Journalism Futures panel, 'Working at a nonprofit newsroom is not a journalism paradise.' We need better solutions for the media industry that serve working journalists & working people, not billionaires and executives!
