Happening Today!

We don’t get stability without money. We don’t get change without power. We don’t get dignity without respect.

The bosses are stealing our game industry, and we aim to take it back! We’re calling game workers, allies, and fans alike to join emergency rallies on WEDNESDAY, JULY 15th! Check this thread for times and locations as they’re established: 🧵

SICK OF THIS CRAP? INTERESTED IN BEING RADICALIZED RATHER THAN BEING LED TO DESPAIR? We gotchu. 💪 Sign up for free, virtual organizing seminars w/ @codecwa.bsky.social: code-cwa.org/upcoming-tra... In the US or Canada? Join United Videogame Workers: uvw-cwa.org/membership

UPDATE: More 'Save Our Devs' rallies have been announced—including one at Obsidian Entertainment and another at Microsoft's campus in Redmond—in support of laid off Xbox workers.

We're so much stronger together!

State Attorneys General are standing up for consumers and workers where federal regulators didn't. They're fighting to block the $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery megamerger. We need more competition, more jobs, and lower prices, not more corporate monopolies. #BlockTheMerger

They want exhausted people. Divided people. Hopeless people. That's why joy matters. Joy reminds us we're still here. Joy reminds us we belong. Joy reminds us we're still capable of changing the world. 💜

All this while Starbucks is the biggest violator of US labor law in modern history, btw

Never forget that you, that we all, deserve better. They are counting on you forgetting this.

Big news for consumers: New York just passed the One Fair Price Act, which bans corporations from using your personal data to charge you more than your neighbor for the exact same item. NY is the latest state to taking action to ban this unfair practice!

This is what collective union power looks like. Solidarity with our Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org siblings in their fight for a fair contract!

Over 100k Illinois rideshare drivers just won the right to form a union through the passage of the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill. While drivers made rideshare corporations billions, drivers struggled but refused to be ignored. Now they are on a path to build a union. We organize. We fight. We win.

Beef prices are up 20%. Four packers sell 80-85% of all domestic beef. The idea that mergers lower prices? That's baloney, literally, because the pork market is consolidated, too. Lax antitrust enforcement means higher prices for you. Read our friends at @openmarkets.bsky.social in the NYT.

Same store. Same item. Different price. Companies feed your personal data into algorithms to decide what you'll pay. It's called surveillance pricing and new research from @groundwork.bsky.social shows 76% of Americans want surveillance pricing banned. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

"The Workers Who Defy Gravity" by @bedoyausa.bsky.social is a must-read. Congress won't protect us from AI, but organized labor is fighting back. Actors, health workers, call center employees are winning against corporations trying to replace us with an algorithm.

This is what worker power looks like! Today, the MA App Drivers Union became the first statewide union to win recognition & the right to negotiate with Uber & Lyft. The largest private sector workforce to win union recognition since Ford autoworkers in 1941!

AI companies are trying to digitize and monetize what makes us human and replace workers, even in professions that require creativity, trust, and empathy. CWA and other unions are fighting back & winning real protections. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/05/20/a...

Working people are told there’s no money for fair wages, yet employers are spending more than $1.5 BILLION a year trying to stop workers from forming unions. No amount of union-busting can stop us from organizing. #UnionsForAll ✊🏿

Welcome to Atlanta where the boss don't pay and workers need security every day! Last week, over 500 Waffle House workers, activists and allies marched through Downtown demand $25 an hour, an end to mandatory meal deductions, and security on the job.

Congrats to CWA members at MissionWired who voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying their first union contract! The contract guarantees annual wage increases, protections against the misuse of AI, remote work arrangements, & more! cwa-union.org/news/mission...

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are organizing, mobilizing and fighting for a fair contract in the face of unprecedented corporate greed. Along with all of America’s unions, they now have the solidarity and strength of 700 union stores standing with them. Change is brewing ✊

jacobin.com/2026/05/surv... As our economy moves towards "a system where paychecks are set to the lowest a worker is willing to accept, and prices to the highest a consumer is willing to pay" @saalevine.bsky.social urges collective resistance of working people.

DON'T MOURN, ORGANIZE!✊ On May 20, 2026, Meta performed a mass round of layoffs, eliminating approximately 8,000 roles. In response, the elected Executive Board of the Alphabet Workers Union-CWA Local 9009 released the following statement: www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/alphab...

Big shoutout to @sbworkersunited.org baristas who have shown SERIOUS staying power throughout this long process of winning their first union contract.

👀

Transit workers keep our cities moving. So when they say they need wages that keep up with the cost of living, we stand with them.

Some people might wonder, why did we decide to unionize at Magic the Gathering: Arena? Our union started because those of us working on MTGA were frustrated with our working conditions, and like many of you might do with your co-workers, we talked to each other about it. #uwotc-cwa

See you today, Nashville!

As the games organization movement grows and continues to succeed, it's essential that we as workers know what to expect from the boss' old bag of tricks. Learn about union busting, common tactics, and your rights regarding organizing. Call it out when you see it and certainly don't fall for it.

Algorithms wreaked havoc with these workers' schedules and cut their pay. LanguageLine workers deserve a union! Read more: www.npr.org/2026/05/03/n...

This budget increases capacity for DCWP, the agency that held Starbucks accountable for over 500,000 violations of NYC worker protection laws like Fair Work Week. Let's go! 👏

Every dime of this $30 million should go into a fair union contract. Instead TN taxpayers are likely footing the bill for more union busting, private jet fuel, and c-suit bonuses. www.axios.com/local/nashvi...

In a public petition to the Federal Communications Commission, telecommunications workers are demanding the agency update its oversight rules for the 21st century! cwa-union.org/news/release...

AFA-CWA Flight Attendants have voted to ratify their new contract at United!

Colorado just passed a bill to stop companies from using your personal data to charge you more and pay you less. No one should pay higher prices or earn lower wages because an algorithm says so. Now workers and consumers need Gov. @jaredpolis to sign HB 1210! news.bgov.com/daily-labor-...

If you’re mad about Starbucks taking away your hours or benefits, you’re not alone.

If you’re a partner, reach out to a staff organizer in your region! You can get connected through sbworkersunited.org

This isn’t the first time this has happened, and in stores without a union, Starbucks will always hold the power to keep making unilateral decisions… even when they clearly only benefit c-suite execs.

As Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol tells the press his Back to Starbucks plan is working, baristas across social media are sounding the alarm on benefits and hours being cut.
 Brian Niccol is taking us Backwards.

Money in our pockets. Power in our hands. Respect in our workplaces. That’s the floor. Not the ceiling.

A ticket to the Met Gala cost $100,000 this year. Meanwhile, 91% of hourly Met staff earn less than a living wage. Make. It. Make. Sense.

Organizer & Amazon worker Mary Hill had a message for @JeffBezos before the #metgala–& the BEST way to deliver a message to a billionaire is to project it onto his $120 million penthouse 😁 Help Mary get some deserved rest from packing boxes: bit.ly/MaMaryHill Video: @everyonehateselon.bsky.social

Monday was a MOVIE. Wait...it IS a MOVEMENT. Workers at the #BallWithoutBillionaires showed they can both strike AND strike a pose.

Know what a REAL fashion statement is? Workers using the runway to tell THEIR stories of being exploited by billionaires. #LaborIsArt

Culture does not come from boardrooms and billionaire CEOs — it comes from working people. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/protest-movements-jeff-bezos-met-gala-2026-1236585809/

Workers showing their power on AND off the runway are proving that #laborisart

The #ballwithoutbillionaires had amazing fashion with even richer stories to them. Much better than the farce of the #MetGala. Thank you to @seiu.org, @stratorgcenter.bsky.social, the Amazon Labor Union for the show. Here's 4 amazing pieces and people from the show.
