Sorry I haven't posted much lately. With the federal shutdown, the NLRB has been closed, so I've had to trawl the state government websites. Only a few update with any regularity, and most of their filings are incrediblly boring or are raids (which I don't report on).

NEW: 23 libary supervisors are unionizing with @afscme.bsky.social

We are thrilled to announce that with an 87% majority voting in favor, CEWA won our union. We are proud to stand together in our commitment to improving our workplace and look forward to working with management to swiftly negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. @npeu.bsky.social

In 2011, Wisconsin Rs Passed Act 10, which gutted public sector unions, particularly for the state's teachers' unions. In recent years, teachers and school staff have successfully been re-organizing their unions. 2021 - 437 2022 - 837 2023 - 1,343 2024 - 952 2025 - 1,327

Absolutely insane for a politiciand to hold the view in big 2025 that firing someone for being gay isn't discrimination. Even the Supreme Court disagrees!

If you look like this after a day of work, you need to join a union and bargain collectively for some PPE expeditiously.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

If you're anti-union, you're actually just a fucking moron

Inflation skyrocketing, AI running rampant, job market crashing. We are well and truly fucked.

BREAKING: 5,000 commercial production workers have organized with IATSE and won their first contract!

BREAKING: Italian trade union federation USB has called a general strike for Friday 10/03 after Global Sumud Floatilla was intercepted by Israeli ships.

NLRB website is completely down due to the shutdown, so won't be any new organizing filings for a while. I'll try to get data from the state public sector relations boards to still have some content for the time being.

NEW: 42 workers for the House of Blues in Houston are unionizing with @iatse.bsky.social

This "Tilly Norwood" situation is really really disgusting and frankly a perversion. The wealthy will stop at nothing to ruin the lives of working people. They want nothing more than to replace people with controllable robots. You don't hate the rich nearly enough.

Trump admin is moving to strip domestic workers of minimum wage protections. Absolutely sickening.

This country hates working people so fucking much, and no one has done more to declare war on workers than this current President.

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.” -Declaration of Independence

End the war on workers!

It's time to vote...for an "I Registered" sticker! Two days ago, we put out the call for new designs and *hundreds* of you came through. We picked our top 10 and now it's time for you to make the final call. Polls are open until Sunday at 10am at zohranfornyc.com/stickittothe...

Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse. Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.

Moron who ran the worst school system in the country for the last 5 years wants to "take on teachers unions" and export his "education" program to the rest of the country.

Looks like a good sized crowd at the #FreeKimmel protest today. Notable that it was put on in the middle of the day with just a couple hours notice.

For anyone canceling Disney/Hulu, I'd 100% recommend subscribing to Dropout TV. The content they put out is way better than the slop that major streamers create these days, and its only $6.99/mo! www.dropout.tv/checkout/sub...

Notable that the WGA and SAG contracts expire in less than a year. Not sure how much appetite there is for a strike, but if the companies are going to act like this...

🚨 Join us TODAY at 12 PM at the main Disney Gate at 2201 W Alameda Ave in Burbank to protest ABC and tell them to bring back #JimmyKimmel.🚨 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Also, Dropout regular Lou Wilson is directly being affected by the Kimmel firing, as he works on Kimmel as an announcer!

Yup! Also I believe Dropout is a SAG production. I'm not sure if its a WGA and IATSE production, though.

Union members have additional protections against politicized firings. If you're in a union, see these tips to stay safe. If you're not, talk with us to change that.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

"We can't let [trans people] communicate with each other." Is absolutely fucking bonkers bat shit level insane
