Teamsters Local 804 seeks an Organizing Fellowship to be based in New York, NY. Details can be found at: unionjobs.com/listing.php?... #1u #UnionStrong @local804.bsky.social @teamsters.bsky.social

Today we stood with the Teamsters to demand fair pay & safety on the job for the workers at Amazon. NYC is a union town and we are prepared to stand together and fight for the rights of the people who keep this billion dollar company afloat. #1u

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Local 804 endorsed @jessicaramosqns to be NYC’s next mayor. Our support and belief in her remains strong. Today, we are releasing our endorsement for the candidates who also deserve to be ranked on your ballot: @bradlander and @ZohranKMamdani REGISTER AND VOTE!!!!

Workers or billionaires? These champions have chosen to side with workers by supporting the EmPIRE Act! Now we need to get EmPIRE passed this session and stop wage theft from harming our communities. Hit the link. bit.ly/EmPIRECall

The EmPIRE Act is NY’s defense against Trump’s attack on workers. Workers from across NYS gathered at the Capitol demanding action against rampant wage theft by powerful employers who silence workers. Let’s pass my bill & protect the rights & wages of NY’s workers.

Wage theft is rampant in NY, and bad employers are getting away with it. The EmPIRE Act lets workers, whistleblowers & unions fight back and get what they’re owed. It’s time for NY to stand up for workers.

NEW: 19 labor & community groups call on Governor Hochul to increase DOL funding $200M in additional funding would ensure our workforce remains strong against any threats to unions, worker safety, workforce development, and more ▶️Read @cityandstateny.bsky.social: cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

The federal workforce is bearing much of the brunt of this assault and the opposition needs to rally around them. Labor rights are constitutional rights.

"UPS & FedEx used to dominate the industry. Now this shithole company comes up that’s worth a trillion dollars, and they’re sending people off into space. But they want to pay people like shit. We have to change that, and we are going to change it right now.” –Vincent Perrone, @local804.bsky.social

There is power in a union, and companies like Amazon know this—that's why they fight so hard to keep workers from organizing. We are in solidarity with @local804.bsky.social as they stand up for their right to collectively bargain for better wages and benefits and safer working conditions.

Woke up early stand with workers! ✊🏼 I joined @teamsters.bsky.social @local804.bsky.social on the packet line to strike against Amazon. Give these workers the contract they deserve!

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. Let's fucking go! 🔥

The Teamsters have filed unfair labor practice charges against Costco, saying the company is violating labor law. The @teamsters.bsky.social allege management is expelling union reps from stores, harassing workers, and intimidating workers wearing union gear. teamster.org/2024/12/team...

Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line

FACT: Being in a union is cool as hell

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Union member: I want my shop steward

When you’re just some chill guys that decide to organize for better wages and working conditions

Three big unions in Philly could all go on a ‘triple strike’ and shut the region down, according to the president of one union. Public transit, sanitation, and other city workers have authorized strikes — now they could halt business as usual. 6abc.com/post/potenti...

Our Sean is the best Sean. But if we’re talking DNC chair, there’s another Shawn that’d probably be a better fit

Four companies dominate the potato market, and they're being accused of price fixing. Two class action suits allege that the 'potato cartel' increased prices similarly and simultaneously. This price-fixing allegedly affected fries, tater tots, and all frozen potato products.

The richest 10% of households hold 62% of the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 5.7%.

Election thoughts: Seems pretty obvious that Harris/Walz ran on Normalcy (biggest hit was calling GOP “weird”) and Trump/Vance ran on Change. For a million + personalized reasons, people preferred Change to Normalcy. Not much of a point in arguing whether personal reasons are right or wrong

Seems like a lotta folks are migrating here and following us for some reason. Maybe we should post more…

we’re ready to strike for a just contract! @nycdsa.bsky.social 🤝 @aoc.bsky.social 🤝 @local804.bsky.social take a pledge to support ups teamsters (and get info on upcoming events with us): https://actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge-to-support-ups-teamsters?source=direct_link&referrer=honda-wang-2

These are some bangers. Whoever runs this account deserves a (union made) cookie or something

My favorite teamster local has joined the skyline. They're SO MUCH my favorite local, I use their license plate holder on my van, I live on the other side or the country AND I work for SEIU!!!
