Next level bootlicking to say “well, we tried to cave months ago but the CWA unions wouldn’t do it, so we negotiated a secret deal to cave because the boss insisted that we hide it.”

Imagine talking class treason to a reporter as if it’s a defense. wesa.fm/economy-busine…

wow who would have picked the TEAMSTERS to be the first to cave in pittsburgh, rolling over for allan block in the most grossly subservient way possible -- you would have to waterboard this info out of me, good god wesa.fm/economy-busine…

'I was deeply disheartened by the shocking settlement reached by the Teamsters Local 211/205, a once-respected union. In exchange for severance payments, the Teamsters agreed to dissolve their union at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and end their strike.'

such a betrayal of labor and the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 - which has supported the teamsters since day 1 - but as zack points out in the thread, cops don't belong in the labor movement in the first place. today's a good day to support striking newsguild workers: unionprogress.com/donate/

THE STRIKE ISN'T OVER. Without informing any of the other units, the Teamsters stabbed us in the backs and negotiated a buyout to benefit themselves. Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 members are still working for a fair contract for us and the other units that remain on strike.

Here's what we know from NewsGuild-CWA about one union dissolving and ending its Pittsburgh news workers strike, which continues for members of the other four unions: unionprogress.com/2024/04/11/cwa…

Yesterday we informed editors at IndyStar that our guild members stand in solidarity with striking workers at Newspaper Guild of Rochester, and that we will not take any struck work. A majority of our members signed onto the letter.
A community’s pride comes from local coverage. ✊ #Solidarity

Every couple months they invent a new word for 'not doing extra work for free'

🚨As we have warned, a crisis is coming in federal labor law. 🚨

Election petition and unfair labor practice charge filings with the NLRB are at 15-year highs, but the agency has lost nearly 40% of its field staff from FY2010. Enforcing the law requires civil servants.

It is called acting your wage. If they aren't going to make the jobs less miserable and make the jobs actually survivable on that wage alone, people are going to act accordingly. Going 'above and beyond' is corporate nonsense.

Joining a union is essentially saying you’re ready to throw down for any worker, even a stranger, and you know without having to ask that they’ve made the same promise to you. Metal as hell, everyone should do it

It would be nice if our Big Doofus™️ senator, who spent years using workers as photo ops, would attempt to fix this but that would surely be too “woke”.

NLRB says caseload is up even as funding has stayed flat in most years over past decade. petitions for union elections rose 35% in 1st half of fiscal year 2024, compared to same period last year; unfair labor practice charges are up 7% nlrb.gov/news-outreach/…
