Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Happy Labor Day! Anybody see this in today's newspaper? ✊🔥 Sign our pledge to stand with over 12,000 union Starbucks workers and say No Contract, No Coffee! 👉 bit.ly/NoContractNoCoffee

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Happy Labor Day! Let’s celebrate the movement’s accomplishments and keep fighting for what #workersdeserve Find a local event 👇 www.mobilize.us/aft/?date=20...

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different. Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other. There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.

🗓️Online Workshop: What To Do When Your Union Breaks Your Heart Organize with your fellow union members to recommit to your union and change the culture into one where leaders respect and serve members Sign up labornotes.org/events/2025/workshop-what-do-when-your-union-breaks-your-heart-september

As we observe Labor Day, it’s not just about picnics and parades. It’s about standing up for what all working people deserve. #WorkersDeserve aftvoices.org/its-not-just...

One thing working people across the country can agree on: the labor movement is the one institution they trust to fight for them. That’s why the Trump administration is so hell-bent on hurting unions. They underestimate workers’ power and solidarity.

Amazing news! Welcome to the union! 🥳

I made this for you. And you. And your trans friend. And their cis friend’s trans kid. And your lawyer friend who does pro bono. And your mom who keeps saying we’re overreacting. And your attorney. And your partner. And your provider. And your representative. And your city councilor. But mostly you.

black lung disease was thought to be nearly eradicated 30ish years ago now it's an epidemic, and miners are again struggling to get the government to do something about it www.ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Friend, the fascism is not *rising.* It really is already here.

These fuckers said a book with two male penguins raising a penguin chick was pornography. Don't give them an inch. Don't give them a micron. Don't give them a fucking Plank unit. Give them nothing.

Many people are going to re-learn that the cops can basically stop you for anything they want.

“Don’t let them do this to you!” a man just now yelled at National Guard troops patrolling Washington DC. “These are your own citizens! These are homeless people!” “You have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders!” he told them. They drove by, saying nothing. #WakeUpAmerica

That fresh-off-a-union-action feeling 🤌🤌

Well, I guess we need to re-issue this to include the *newest* camp, Deportation Depot South of Jacksonville. NO CAMPS. NO ICE. NO FASCISM IN THE USA. -r2

Florida plans to open a second immigration detention center that officials are calling "Deportation Depot."

The Trump administration’s union-busting is disgusting—but we have the bill and the votes in Congress to stop them. Has your rep signed yet? Tell them: sign the discharge petition and bring the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote without delay!

Hope to see you at Saratoga City Hall this Saturday at 3pm.

Starbucks workers in Columbus filed for a union election at a store the DAY it opened. Hear about why there was urgency to organize:

On this day eight years ago, during the fascist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA, neo-Nazi James Fields drove his car into a crowd of antifascists, killing 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyer. She is gone but many of us survived to fight another day. Remember her. Don’t give up. 🖤

An open statement in Solidarity with Indigenous and Immigrant workers against the Florida concentration camps:

The new Covid variant shows us this virus is not done! We urge lawmakers to fund public health infrastructure, reject anti-science rhetoric, and encourage more N95 respirator-style masking. Our patients deserve better preparedness. www.today.com/health/coron...

frustrated, angry, and fearful vent i made at 4 am listening to my favorite @skatunenetwork.bsky.social song. the state of the world right now raises a lot of questions for me, but one keeps gnawing at the back of my mind: why are we okay with letting history repeat itself? #queerart

Some people say *abolish ICE* as if the idea emerged from the mind of one person rather than as the result of movements that make sure concepts legible to regular people.
