May Day: Remember How Immigrants Built The Labor Movement

April 29, 2026 Charlotte White and Julia Wallace, Left Voice. Resist! History, Immigrant Rights, May Day, Strikes

This May Day comes as workers across the country have been fighting Trump’s attacks on the economic stability and basic democratic rights of workers across the country. Some of the worst attacks have been against immigrant communities and those who stand in solidarity with their immigrant neighbors. The fight for immigrant rights cannot be separated from the fight for a strong labor movement in the United States. Since the beginning, immigrants have been foundational to the U.S. labor movement. Immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, shaped by upheavals during the 18th century, brought lessons of working-class organization to the United States.

Los Angeles — Last-minute tentative agreements, reached at 3 a.m. on April 13—two days before a scheduled strike was to start—averted the walkout by the three unions representing 37,000 teachers and support staffers of the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD), one of the largest districts in the U.S. One key to the agreements, covering the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA), a Teachers/AFT local, Teamsters Local 2010, and Service Employees Local 99, was widespread labor, community, and political support for the workers, who sought substantial raises that would enable them to continue to live and work in L.A.

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 released a statement on April 12 reporting that meatpackers at the JBS beef processing plant in Greeley, Colorado, voted to ratify a tentative agreement covering nearly 3,800 workers. The contract runs through April 2028. UFCW Local 7 members ratified the contract following JBS’s return to the bargaining table, ending a three-week unfair labor practice (ULP) strike that began March 16. The ULP strike shut down the facility as an 80% immigrant workforce exercised their protected right to strike, refusing to be intimidated by the bosses and their ICE partners.

AI Used Against Associated Press And ProPublica Journalists

April 9, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cooperatives, Journalism, Pro Publica, Strikes, Unions

New York—AI has hit the AP: At least 120 U.S. newspeople, some of them longtime veterans of the Associated Press, the worldwide wire service, have received layoff notices as a result, with buyout offers—but with little notice to and no negotiations with their union. AI—artificial intelligence—can be used for good or ill, but corporate executives are using it to guillotine people’s jobs, thus increasing company profits. The cost, however, as critics on social media pointed out, is in reduced coverage at a time when news consumers need unbiased information more than ever before.

Greeley, Colorado -The strike by 3,800 workers at the JBS Swift Beef plant in Greeley, Colorado, will pause as the company has agreed to negotiations starting April 9.

They will now return to work in one of the largest meatpacking plants in the country. Kim Cordova, president of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7, which represents the JBS workers, said that the union is fighting for a fair contract that protects worker safety in an industry that has extensive worker injuries.

Resident doctors in England are set to strike again from April 7-13 as part of a long-running dispute over health workforce policies, working conditions, and salaries. For over three years, doctors have negotiated and struggled for pay restoration and more jobs, emphasizing that the National Health Service (NHS) cannot function without enough health workers and adequate working conditions. “Resident doctors have been left with no choice but to strike,” the British Medical Association (BMA) wrote on social media. “Weeks of negotiations with the government have failed to deliver enough progress on pay, with the goalposts being moved at the last minute.

Englewood, CO – On April 1, teachers and faculty across five schools of the Sheridan School District went on strike demanding union recognition and the reinstatement of their contract. Over 100 teachers, faculty and community members walked the picket lines demanding that the school district come back to the table for negotiations. Tensions rose earlier this year when the school district passed a policy that stated they would not recognize staff without licenses in the union. That means school custodians, paraprofessionals on staff, bus drivers – workers who all keep the district’s schools running and operational – were not able to join. When contract negotiations fell apart, 98% of members voted to strike.

Six thousand San Francisco educators won fully funded health care, sanctuary schools, and an up to 8.5 percent raise over two years by walking out for the first time in nearly 50 years. After just four days on strike, February 9 to 12, they won their top demands—some of which the district had previously refused even to bargain over. “It was hard and it was joyful and we f-ing beat them,” said Ilan Desai-Geller, a high school teacher who served on the bargaining committee and as a regional strike captain. “They found the money all of a sudden. “They found the money for the things they said they couldn’t. They agreed to the language they said they couldn’t.”

TSA Is On A Brown-Bag Strike And Is Crippling Airports

March 26, 2026 Chris Brooks, Jacobin Magazine. Resist! Airports, Federal Employees, Strikes, TSA, Worker Rights

Federal laws prohibit strikes by federal workers and can be extremely punitive. Federal workers who strike can face a felony prosecution, time in prison, and fines of thousands of dollars. In fact, if you are a federal worker, you can be officially blacklisted from working for the federal government just for claiming you have the right to strike or even for being a member of a union that makes that claim. To win real collective bargaining rights, federal workers had to directly face off against these constraints. It’s hard to imagine today, but there was a massive wave of public sector strikes in the 1960s and 1970s.

As of 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 23, roughly 950 contract faculty at New York University (NYU) are on strike, demanding higher wages, better job security, and various protections, including stronger academic freedom provisions. NYU Contract Faculty United (CFU) voted to unionize in early 2024, joining their adjunct faculty, graduate worker, and academic staff colleagues in the UAW. Undergraduate workers also voted to join the UAW later that same year. NYU is in the top 1 percent of wealthiest universities in the country and the second-largest private landowner in New York City, after Columbia University.

BATH, Maine (WGME) -- Members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen Association are on strike after union negotiations fell through with Bath Iron Works (BIW). Six weeks ago, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited BIW, encouraging workers to build warships as fast as they can. Some of those workers are now on strike. Members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen Association voted on Sunday to reject the proposed “best and final offer” from General Dynamics and BIW. The strike of more than 600 workers would also extend beyond BIW to other General Dynamics locations across the world.

Two unions representing more than 68,000 LAUSD teachers and employees will strike starting on April 14, unless they reach an agreement with the district beforehand. The announcement was made at a “Fight for LA” joint rally on Wednesday afternoon with members of United Teachers Los Angeles, representing roughly 38,000 teachers, and SEIU Local 99, which represents more than 30,000 workers, including cafeteria workers, bus drivers and special education assistants. UTLA and SEIU Local 99 authorized a strike by 94% and 97%, respectively. “This is definitely to fight for public schools — a fight to make sure that we get the resources that we need at our schools,” UTLA Vice President Julie Van Winkle said.

March 22, 2026 Caitlyn Clark and Lisa Xu, Labor Notes. Resist! Colorado, Immigrants, Meatpackers, Strikes, Unions, Worker Rights

In less than a quarter-mile stretch of sidewalk, chatter in 57 languages overlaps with the sound of dancehall, bachata, Thai pop, Haitian kompa, and Micronesian hip-hop. At sunset, dozens gather for iftar, breaking their Ramadan fast; the music, pulsing from boomboxes and cell phones held up to megaphones, swells into one shared hum. In this sliver of land across from the sprawling JBS beef processing plant—among the largest in the country—workers from around the world have united in the largest U.S. meatpacking strike in 40 years.
