Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674. trib.al/RMejLDH

No wonder things are going so well!

ORGANIZE AGAINST UNION-BUSTING

“The highest rate disclosed this week comes from an unlikely source: Stone House Bread in Traverse City, MI.” laborlab.us/artisan-brea...

New federal disclosures reveal employers shelling out hundreds of dollars per hour to keep workers from organizing, from a Michigan bakery to a Texas electric cooperative to a New York car dealership. laborlab.us/artisan-brea...

These employers were added to our Union-Buster Tracker: ❌ Pedernales Electric Cooperative (TX) ❌ Family Care Health Network (CA) ❌ Stone House Bread (MI) ❌ Destination Kia (NY) laborlab.us/resource/uni...

Hospice workers are being attacked for organizing. HOSPICE WORKERS

After hospice workers in North Carolina filed to unionize, their employer hired LRI Consulting Services at $425/hr to run anti-union meetings. Watch the interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiI6...

Indiana lawmakers passed a bill eliminating requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers. Experts warn it could make it easier to hide child labor violations. Weakening protections for young workers isn’t progress—it’s a huge step backward. https://seiu.co/4r9EGYB

When working people have the power to organize, they gain more than better wages -- they gain a voice in the decisions that shape their lives and communities. Building that power doesn't just change the economy. It changes who gets to have a say.

LaborLab's work is ultimately about more than union density --it's about restoring agency and self-determination to working people and their communities. Higher union density doesn't just raise wages; it shifts power.

Trump just stripped yet more federal workers of collective bargaining rights, at the IRS no less. This administration is every oligarch's wet dream.

When a company launches a union-busting campaign, they hire attorneys, consultants, develop and distribute materials, and establish in-house teams at the expense of worker productivity and well-being. The cost for busting a union is high, but greed has no shame.

Sheri’s Ranch responded to the petition for union recognition by firing workers Jupiter Jetson, Molly Wylder, Paloma Karr, Adalind Gray, Genevieve Dahl, and Gwen Bunny. The union will be fighting their unlawful terminations, but for now, they need our support: www.gofundme.com/f/support-sh...

When unions are strong, democracies are strong.

After layoffs, captive audience meetings, and alleged retaliation, one fired worker is speaking out. laborlab.us/union-buster...

NLRB General Counsel sent a memo to staff stating that the NLRB should not go after employers simply because their labor policies are illegal, as long as they are not actually enforced. So it's fine to threaten workers, as long as you don't carry out the threats. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...

WORKERS WANT UNIONS

BREAKING "St. John's University has severed its relationship with two faculty unions, drawing sharp condemnation from professors who say the move undermines workers' rights at an institution that prides itself on Catholic social teaching."

John Logan, Ph.D., breaks down the unique challenges confronting unions in the United States and he explores actionable steps to strengthen and improve labor relations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrnV...

Tuesday feels like as good as a day as any to ORGANIZE AGAINST UNION-BUSTING

This guy gets it.

No 6-year-old should be put through a traumatic experience like this. ICE left this little girl scared and alone at home searching for her father after he was detained. www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

When workers and their unions are free, democracies succeed.

How much do you think is spent per year to fight workers from organizing?

Good for the National Parent Teacher Association on this decision to split with Meta. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/n...

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

This brings up a great point from @aflcio.org President @lizshuler.bsky.social: Despite the attacks that billionaires & lawmakers have made against workers & union rights, people see the power of the labor movement. Together we have a voice we would never have alone. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Some union-busters get paid $4,000+ a day to “educate” and surveil workers. $4,000 a day to keep working people powerless…
