- My first job after high school was at @Starbucks (Store #10657) in Arkansas. Now I’m a union president and support Starbucks workers and @SBWorkersUnited. So the company PR machine has also blocked me. Unionize your workplace to have a voice! Management is clearly terrified. 😘
- Oooof. This is dark. @SBWorkersUnited are the workers at Starbucks. They are not a “third party” — they are human beings deserving of respect. And they quite literally run Starbucks.BREAKING: Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says that the company will never engage with @SBWorkersUnited. For months, Starbucks has claimed it’s engaging in “good faith” bargaining with the union, as required by law. Now Schultz is revealing that Starbucks has been lying.
00:00 - We ████ the whole Mueller report. What does it ████ like? More than a third of it is ████████. latimes.com/projects/la-na…
- New York Times workers won a major contract last week: - $65,000 salary floor - Immediate raises of at least 10.6 percent for all members - hybrid work - ban on the use of NDAs in cases of workplace abuse or harassment
- A union isn’t a service you subscribe to. A union is a decision to stand with your colleagues and fight to make your lives better.
- With an avalanche of early Black Friday promotions, @wirecutter separates the deals from the duds. nyti.ms/3cMMnA5
- I am thankful for all the brave strikers at the Post-Gazette here in Pittsburgh. I’m sooooo thankful that I have broken my record for pies made in 24 hours. I made 18 for our strikers. (More on the picket line tomorrow!) Happy Thanksgiving!!! ✊🥧
00:00- “Unlimited” PTO was the final straw that kickstarted @latguild organizing. You can’t bank it. You don’t earn it. You can’t cash it out. And if your boss or future boss is against you taking the time, you don’t get time off. It’s better to unionize and lock in real benefits.
- Workers at the Washington Post are now on strike. Don’t click on the site. Don’t share any articles. Don’t speak to managers trying to fill the void. Respect the line and support the workers!Three hours until Washington Post workers start our 24-hour unfair labor practice strike at midnight Dec. 7. Don’t cross the picket line and don’t read @washingtonpost.
- Oh boy. Today I cleaned out my @latimes desk. It’s been a crazy journey for this kid from Arkansas. I absolutely loved my time here and I’m going to severely miss all of my colleagues. But I’m excited about the next journey: working for NewsGuild members everywhere.

GIF - Tomorrow we hold power to account at the New York Times. Don’t use the app. Don’t click on the site. Read local news. Support public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak. Don’t touch the crossword. Support every worker fighting for a better world.Today we were ready to work for as long as it took to reach a fair deal, but management walked away from the table with five hours to go. It’s official: @NYTimesGuild members are walking out for 24 hours on Thursday. We know what we’re worth.
