Dealers at the Horseshoe Indianapolis Casino in Shelbyville have voted to join Teamsters Local 135! They'd mounted a recognition strike, a rare, courageous, throwback tactic that was mainly how unions were formed 90 years ago, our editor Al Bradbury reported labornotes.org/2025/11/indi...

"We’ve all heard calls for a general strike before—usually not as a serious proposal or strategy, but as a reaction to the attacks that working people face on a regular basis from existing political and economic power..." labornotes.org/2025/12/mayb... 1/7

This Day in Labor History: November 4, 1907. Theodore Roosevelt orders federal troops into Goldfield, Nevada to bust an IWW strike. Let's take on the myth that TR was good on labor issues. He would do anything to crush radical labor!

Attacks on working people are growing at a dizzying pace. But we have a key point of leverage: The billionaire class depends on our labor. @labornotes.bsky.social has just released a new resource on May Day 2028 filled with contract alignment FAQ's and resources. www.may2028.org

Rosen said, "We need to defend democracy, and we need to do it in militant ways... The greatest power in this country, if exercised, remains the ability of workers to withhold their labor. Everything else grinds to a halt when that happens. That’s what we’ve got to relearn here.”
