Corporations claim that workers have the choice to join a union & then interfere with organizing efforts. Which one is it? I think it’s clear where companies like Amazon stand. The Teamsters stand with the workers at CVG that want a union. Stay strong ✊🏼 wcpo.com/news/local-new…

BREAKING: Organizer Chris Smalls and @AmazonLabor just won a major court victory against union-busting "philanthropist" Jeff Bezos. A judge has ordered Amazon to stop firing its own workers in retaliation for organizing a labor union. Powerful. 👊🔥👏Christian Smalls

All workers – including railroad workers – deserve paid sick leave. Forcing workers to come in sick and exhausted is irresponsible and dangerous. Railroad workers keep our country moving, and we cannot continue treating them like they are expendable.

“We’re the lifeblood of the company, not corporate, not upper management. We’re actually the ones who are sorting the freight, and loading the freight” theguardian.com/us-news/2022/n…

We should have a healthy skepticism for politicians and pundits who say railroad workers shouldn’t strike but fail to call out rail carriers for their reckless handling of the freight rail system.

Wild to read just days ago that the Pentagon has $2 trillion unaccounted for, and then today see that the entire city of Houston, with over two million people, has a water boil advisory.

NEW: The union-busting industry operates in near-total secrecy. Anti-union firms only have to reveal when they pressure workers face-to-face. Everything else is hidden. The Biden administration has the power to end this. All President Donald J. Trump has to do is bring back the Persuader Rule.

"This is what Amazon does," #Teamsters Joint Council 25 Organizer Pasquale Gianni told the crowd. "This mega-corporation sneaks in to communities, and tries to exploit the working class. But we’re not going to let them!" ...

A new report shows Amazon hired a former CBS news anchor to persuade workers against unionizing with Amazon Labor Union in Moreno Valley, CA. This was in Oct '22. Days later, the workers filed for a union election (the 1st at Amazon in Calif.) but then withdrew their bid.
