Name a cooler current union president.

Pro-tip: you cant.

Join special guest and union supporter: Former ⁦Alabama Football⁩ star Antonio Langham this Sunday. actionnetwork.org/forms/tuscaloo…

On Monday, May 13, I’m joining faith leaders in Montgomery, AL, to stand with workers who want to unionize at the Hyundai plant there.

Workers do better with a union, & when workers do better, we all do better.

It’s always about power. The boss will do anything to keep it— even turn on their own. Workers organizing with ⁦UAW⁩ will not be fooled. Until workers form a union, the boss is making all of the decisions that impact workers lives. autonews.com/manufacturing/…

Penn grad students vote to unionize their 4,000-person workforce after two decades of attempts.

'The vote was 95% in favor of the union, with 1,904 of the 3,700 eligible voters turning out. [...] It may be the largest-ever private-sector union formed in Philadelphia, according to research by leaders at the AFL-CIO Philadelphia Council.'

BREAKING: 3,700 student-workers at UPenn have joined the UAW.

An overwhelming 95% of voting workers chose to unionize.

This is the latest in a string of blowout victories in academic union votes.

Remember Kay Ivey's post last week ranting about how the UAW was 'corrupt' and 'shifty'?

Turns out she cited a 'media' outlet *OWNED* by a consultant working for the anti-UAW Business Council of Alabama.

So yes, I wrote an article about a tweet: truthout.org/articles/anti-…

NEWS: 3,700 University of Pennsylvania grad students have unionized with the UAW, in a landslide 1807-to-97 vote.

The union claims they 'will become the largest new private sector union in Philadelphia in over 50 years.'

In the face of massive union busting, Mercedes-Benz USAㅤ workers in Alabama-the only Mercedes plant in the world without union representation-will vote for a union on 13-17 May. We support the UAW fight to turn the tide in traditionally anti-union US South.

Can we make this man president already

SCOOP: Mercedes has hired union-busting firm RNP Labor to hold captive-audience meetings. They are coercing workers who haven't been visibly pro-union to attend. Workers say union-busters ask in the meetings for a show of hands of who is voting yes or no. labornotes.org/2024/04/relay-…

“Suddenly, they all say they’re listening—but they haven’t listened to us Mercedes workers in the previous 15 years,” employee Jeremy Kimbrell responds. “In 2 weeks, Mercedes workers will show we're not easily fooled and will end the Alabama discount” bloomberg.com/news/articles/… UAW

Breaking: Mercedes abruptly replaced a key US executive as Alabama employees are slated to vote in two weeks on joining the UAW bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

BREAKING: Mercedes-Benz has abruptly replaced its U.S. CEO in an effort to undercut the union drive at Mercedes's plant in Alabama.

In a video shown to workers today, new CEO Federico Kochlowski admits that 'many of you' want change and promises improvements.

damn, Mercedes workers have already:

-- killed two-tier wages
-- gotten their UAW pay bump
-- fired their boss

and they haven't even voted yet!

If that's what you get for just *talking* union, imagine what you can win when you *join* the union.

May 13-17, get ready.

Volkswagen will negotiate with UAW at the Tennessee plant where the union won a landmark election (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…), the company just confirmed in a joint statement with UAW. NLRB certified UAW's win, meaning company is legally required to collectively bargain.

'Corporations and the politicians they bankroll want to keep workers divided and afraid of demanding the rights and freedoms we deserve.'
