@Walmart How did Alice Walton become the richest woman on earth? STOCK BUYBACKS and paying workers less than $15 an hour, that how! Concentrated wealth is an indication of #corporate #greed, not individual brilliance. forbes.com/sites/mattduro…


h/t @inthesetimesmag for highlighting the need to resurrect the strategies that helped build the labor movement before the NLRB ever existed, as we fight to protect institutions that safeguard workers' rights and workplace safety. #Strategic #Resistance inthesetimes.com/article/suprem…

Make no mistake- what is happening in Georgia is part of a concerted effort by major corporations - many of them retail employers - to erode workers' rights and dismantle administrative oversight agencies tasked with holding them accountable to obeying the law.

Amazon is challenging the @NLRB's constitutionality in a bid to dismiss labor complaints. “This is part of a broader effort on the part of conservative voices in the country...attempting to dismantle the administrative state,” says @BiancaRebelde78 theguardian.com/business/artic…



This is a major WIN for the @Teamsters and DSP drivers!!! Now its time for @amazon to recognize the union and for the DOL to fix other, unjust misclassifications that hurt workers and our economy.

@ForRespect has been working with ATL6 workers to bring health & safety issues to management, including concerns about extreme heat. Management has refused to address workers' concerns and that's why they are taking their fight to the public. Solidarity with the workers!

Happy birthday to Dr. John Carlos!



Another fantastic piece of research and analysis by @NelpNews Don't believe the corporate spin! There is still an INJURY CRISIS at @amazon!!! Read the full report here 👇🏽

NELP’s new report, out today, highlights Amazon’s outsized role in the warehouse injury crisis. Read it here: bit.ly/Amazon-Injury



👏🏾 👏🏾@POTUS for finally adjusting OT policy and to the @USDOL for acknowledging that many salaried employees in low-paid positions, particularly in retail, often work far more than 40 hours a week and do not receive compensation for it. dol.gov/newsroom/relea…


So proud of UC Berkeley students today! The US cannot continue to be complicit in the destruction of Gaza and the annihilation of Palestinian men, women and children.

Breaking: UC Berkeley students just mounted a Gaza solidarity encampment at Sproul Plaza. “We will hold the encampment until UC divest from the war” @Berkeleyside

This bill would make it so businesses are no longer required to give underage workers meal breaks if they work for at least 5 hours. The GOP representative carrying this bill owns several Smoothie King franchises in Louisiana.

Poignant read by Michael Podhorzer for all of us roused by labor's current resurgence. I appreciate his timely reminder that the fate of working people anywhere, is the fate of working people everywhere ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…


2 TRUTHS & A LIE: - Amazon is NOT content with simply disrupting retail/warehouse logistics - Amazon is targeting the agency tasked with enforcing labor laws and protecting workers rights - Amazon is a responsible employer and the safest place to work prospect.org/blogs-and-news…
