"Companies are profit-maximizing machines" and that comes at our expense and at the expense of our families. Disgusting. Big firms are cutting benefits, another reason why workers are organizing. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Data workers are paying a hidden cost, mental health and low wages, to make the internet safer for all. That’s why they’re organizing and fighting back to hold Big Tech accountable. #TechWorkersRising

I've spent years interviewing data workers who are the lifeblood of the AI industry in places like Kenya & Colombia. Now it's the #4 fastest growing job in the US. AI is coming for your job and not in the way you think. My latest for @moreperfectunion.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aooi...

Everything is becoming more expensive. And the Belgian government is doubling down on cuts to pensions and wages — instead of taxing wealth. But workers and unions say: enough is enough. We join them for a major demonstration in Brussels tomorrow.

Trade union leaders representing postal workers from Senegal to Spain and Germany to Japan gathered at our offices in Switzerland this week to defend the right to regular, affordable postal deliveries - known as the universal service obligation. https://ow.ly/y5BB50YW3fP

The rich are getting richer. While the rest of us get squeezed. True in Europe, true around the world. It’s we gotta keep organizing and fighting for polices that advance workers’ interests!

Europe still needs a universal postal service that delivers letters and parcels affordably to every single address. That requires a fair system where all delivery companies contribute to the public system. @euractiv.com on our campaign to #SaveOurPost.

📬 One of the post's super powers is that it can reach us all. #StampOutHunger, organized by @lettercarriers.bsky.social, shows why that matters. Postal services can deliver more than letters and packages. They can be vital lifelines for communities in need. www.nalc.org/community-se...

Without urgent safeguards, the financialization of care risks locking care systems into a race to the bottom driving down wages, conditions, & quality of care. Read this new OpEd by Christy Hoffman:

🆕A new report from UNI Global Union shows migration is often driven by crisis, not choice. But when migrant workers organize, standards rise for all. Time for a rights-based systems. uniglobalunion.org/news/migrant...

“It’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to do my job the way I think is best – simply because I don’t have the time.” Katharina worked for a long time as a nurse in an intensive care unit in Austria. She never felt she had enough time: for her patients, for her colleagues and for herself.

A Le Parisien investigation with the help of UNI shows content moderators from Kenya to Turkey & beyond face violent content, nightmares, insomnia & psychological stress—often for low pay. The invisible workers behind the screens need urgent protection and accountability. #techworkersrising

"AI is not magic. Behind every algorithm, there are human beings training and moderating the models, teaching them to recognize an emotion, a murder, a suicide — and doing so in precarious conditions.” Read about it in @leparisien.fr ➡️ l.leparisien.fr/er6i

🌍🔥 Climate issues are workers' issues. Floods. Blackouts. Extreme heat. The climate crisis drives a health crisis, and care workers absorb the impact. Climate justice means worker justice. #EarthDay youtu.be/BFjBAf7GQS8?...
