BIG NEWS! Amazon ordered by NLRB to bargain with Amazon Labor Union: www.nlrbedge.com/p/04022026-n...

After the 2024 Amazon Teamsters strike, the retail supergiant retaliated against workers by docking Unpaid Time Off, a bank of hours that give workers some cushion when unexpected emergencies arise and they need to take time off work. Amazon can fire them if they run out of UPT.

NEW from me: After major pressure from the Teamsters union both at the shop floor and in NLRB-mediated negotiations, Amazon has agreed to stop retaliating against workers for exercising their right to strike. "This is a huge win for us," shop floor organizer Josh Black said.

Coffee, for most, is a low-wage and precarious industry. Workers in the U.S. must navigate rock bottom wages, at-will employment laws, and few workplace protections. Unionising, and securing a contract is one of the most powerful ways workers can combat these threats and improve lives. #CoffeeSky

Interviewing women coffee farmers in Colombia, Lucia Bawot realised that most of them were facing mental health challenges without any help. She created SANA to address this unmet need. 100+ women have now received mental healthcare through SANA. Its success offers lessons for the wider industry.

“After over 20 years working grocery retail, unionizing my store with my coworkers, and talking to other retail workers across the country, I’ve learned that grocery workers across our industry face similar challenges," Maeg from @traderjoesunited.bsky.social shared with us.

“We can only ask ICE agents to leave if they are harassing or disrupting business,” Starbucks barista Alex Rivers told @nataschaelena.bsky.social. “Starbucks must follow hundreds of Minnesota businesses and forbid ICE from entering without a warrant.” labornotes.org/2026/03/keep...

“When management says they can't afford better wages or they can't fix staffing, we'll have the receipts showing exactly how they're running these stores into the ground. That's how we stop fighting their fights on their terms and start fighting ours on ours.”

“Documenting what we already know is broken, finding out it's broken everywhere, and using that information to build real power,” Janet from @NSLU_PDX shared.

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...

Update on this story: WGA has cancelled the Writers Guild Awards, originally scheduled for March 8, due to the ongoing staff strike. WGA management walked away from the table earlier this week without a deal. Statement from WGSU below:

Unions and progressive orgs should be super compliant with their staff unions. Like I’d be embarrassed as a manager if the staff union were striking.

We've already been kicked off of IG. You can follow us here at the other place and check out our website too!

Starbucks has signed union contracts almost nowhere, but in Chile, workers have a national agreement covering 176 stores. They were the first in the world to unionize, in 2009: labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0...

We are looking to understand workers power in the grocery sector in the US in order to further organizing and circulate struggles! Joins us!

@workinquirywork.bsky.social and @bbiunion.bsky.social have launched a new #WorkersInquiry with the help of our comrades Janet of New Seasons Labor [email protected] Local 1010 and Maeg of @traderjoesunited.bsky.social.

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

A general strike is a great idea, and to make it happen, I need you to organize your coworkers into a union at your workplace

BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another. linktr.ee/twincitieste...

We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations. Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.

We call on Starbucks board member and Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford to say the names of our murdered neighbors, to say the names of the agencies who murdered them in broad daylight. We can’t afford you trying to stay above the fray! Stand with us and say ICE out now!

A little under a year ago, workers at Highwire Coffee formed their union—since then, they’ve been battling for a fair contract, facing stalling from management and an infamous anti-union law firm. Read about the latest in the Bay’s barista class war: bayareacurrent.com/highwire-cof...

In our increasingly unequal economy, the top 20% of earners power 59% of consumer spending. Everyone else accounts for 41% of spending.

SUN is in full support of the city-wide stoppage in Minneapolis on Friday and will have members participating in solidarity from out of state. We honor the lineage of this action including the Great American Boycott of 2006 and the movements in solidarity with Philando Castile and George Floyd.

For no particular reason whatsoever this is a key time to assess your union's vision and model: Are internationalism and anti-imperialism values we've embraced? How do we apply them?

Despite stonewalling opposition from Starbucks, its workers around the country have continued to unionize at a fast rate. Each of the past four years, @sbworkersunited.org has won over 100 union elections and added thousands of workers to its ranks.

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal. Also it's a good idea. LFG minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

These workers at THE MET just announced that they won their union election, 76% yes. Met union! Hell yeah.

We stand in proud solidarity with the Breaking Breads Union in NYC. SUN endorses their demands including a premium for baking overnight, safe equipment and ending material support for the Israeli occupation They enter the great tradition of workers who have used their organized power against empire

Number of unionized Blue Bottle’s: All 6😎😎😎

Unlike other businesses in Minneapolis, Starbucks is allowing ICE agents into stores against the concerns of baristas and our community. That's why our union is taking action. Across Minnesota, baristas are demanding that Starbucks update their guidance around ICE immediately.
