Amid the Hezbollah pager incident, I’m reminded of what a Pentagon official told me not long ago: “We have let Israel face 0 consequences for crossing all our red lines in Gaza so they are emboldened & know they face no consequences for going into Lebanon” huffpost.com/entry/israel-l…

When we strike, we win! Congrats to Law360Union and NewsGuild of New York

The United States, Israel and Lebanon are all signatories to this agreement.

Shawn Fain has announced Stellantis locals are about to hold strike authorization votes. If the UAW strikes, it'll be an unprecedented move to force the company to keep its promise to re-open a key plant in Belvidere, IL. Stellantis owns Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and more.

Hmm. Sounds like Brian Callaci has been at the same bargaining tables as me.

International humanitarian law prohibits the use of booby traps – objects that civilians are likely to be attracted to or are associated with normal civilian daily use – precisely to avoid putting civilians at grave risk. hrw.org/news/2024/09/1…

Congratulations to Law360Union for reaching a tentative deal that includes: ✅21% raise for lowest-paid members ✅$67,000 salary floor ✅Maintains 'just cause' protections for employees ✅15% cap on healthcare costs, where the company was pushing for 30% newsguild.org/strike-over-la…

The NYT is walking into a completely avoidable strike if they don't get serious about reaching a fair deal with their tech workers. It's been over 2 years—do your job and finish this contract!

Thanks so much to Majority Report for having me on to talk about how the idling of the Belvidere Assembly plant has devastated the community, and why UAW is taking steps that would allow a national strike to force Stellantis to reopen it. youtube.com/watch?v=lhApaw…

I’ve been told before that strikes can’t bring a shop back from the dead. They were wrong then, too.

This was a war crime and an act of terrorism

BREAKING: the UCLA student government passed a resolution to reverse the encampment ban on campus

A genocide in real time

War crimes that, if committed by anyone else, would be decried by the United States as acts of terrorism. If there was any hint of an international rules-based order, it is dead and the United States has killed it.

A year after the historic #StandUp strike, I remain an unrepentant Fainian.

NEW: Uncommitted will NOT back Harris, no meeting w/ VP after DNC. VP’s “unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy” or make a statement “upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her.” theintercept.com/2024/09/19/unc…

The New York Magazine Union is back at the bargaining table this morning to continue our fight for AI job protections.

New Dripped Out Trade Unionists just dropped. Proudly serving as counsel to the UAW for its negotiations with Volkswagen in the same room where just five months ago we watched the votes being counted.
