This sucks

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

🚨 The NLRB is back up 🚨 ...with a sharp shift towards management, employers are gonna be looking to roll back workers' rights. Potentially on the chopping block: ➡️ Cemex ➡️ Stericycle ➡️ McLaren Macomb ➡️ Thryv ➡️Amazon / Endurance Environmental (to name a few).

Shohei Ohtani is already the greatest baseball player of all time. We are witnessing history.

Fantastic @profgalloway.com Markets podcast today with @kedseconomist.com doing an excellent job highlighting the exploitation of undocumented workers by employers and the erosion of labor law enforcement. So refreshing to hear this language in a markets podcast.

Reports of an active shooter situation at Sky Meadow Country Club on Mountain Laurels Drive in Nashua, NH. This is early but reports of multiple victims. It sounds like a staging area is set up at 177 Lake St in Nashua.

Why isn’t there a "shuffle" or "random episode" option on streaming services? I just want to watch a random episode, I don't want to pick one...

Consumer prices in May 2025 were up 2.4% from a year ago, but inflation eased on a monthly basis (according to latest Labor Department figures).

Absolute bullshit.

Biden saved union pensions with the American Rescue Plan in 2022. He moved fast to help union members. Trump moved even faster to end bargaining rights for Federal unions with an executive order yesterday. How can any union member back the current administration?

Feds are building detention camps in Uxbridge, MA.

Young people have every reason to be enraged.

🚨 HealthPartners Workers Are STRIKING! 🚨 OPEIU Local 12 has filed a 10-day ULP strike notice after HealthPartners illegally changed their contract & refused to bargain in good faith. Workers won’t back down. 🧵👇 #OPEIU12 #UnionStrong

It's good to be home, but I preferred my previous workstation view to my current one 😒😅

Two more weeks of studying, then I give the bar exam maximum effort 👊🏽

"firing of board member Wilcox means that the Trump administration along with the architects of Project 2025 are aiming to do away with the National Labor Relations Act,” said Seth Goldstein, a labor lawyer who has represented Amazon and Trader Joe’s workers www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

UNION BUSTING IS DISGUSTING!

Under Biden, thousands of workers who experienced wage theft and other abuses have been granted protection from deportation and authorization to work so they can participate in labor investigations.

Last July, Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman and American Gods, was accused of sexual assault. Lila Shapiro goes deep on the allegations and looks at his upbringing in Scientology and his relationship with his wife, Amanda Palmer, and what she knew.

Drinking alcohol raises the risk of developing seven types of cancer, according to a new advisory from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

The need for this type of gamesmanship is frustrating

The worst

There’s no silver bullet or federal agency, including the NLRB, that can force Amazon to the bargaining table. I’ve filed 200 charges against Amazon, but real change comes from tens of millions of Americans supporting warehouse workers. The pressure to bargain with Amazon workers must start now!

"Employees of the New Jersey-based party chain were informed in a Friday meeting they were losing their jobs five days before Christmas and would be let go sans severance pay or extension of benefits, effective immediately." www.nydailynews.com/2024/12/20/p...

What a huge loss for labor. Democrats had an opportunity to lock in a majority on the NLRB till 2026 ... and Manchin + Sinema just sabotaged them. Now Trump can immediately stack the board with union-loathing conservatives who'll undo four years of progress. www.axios.com/2024/12/11/s...

The NLRB has made it more difficult for businesses to alter working conditions without bargaining with their employees' unions, returning to a longstanding legal standard that was wiped out during the Trump administration reut.rs/3DdUx51
