UNIONIZE THE CASTLE. 🏰🍗
EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with Medieval Times workers about why they want to unionize their castle. What they deal with is nuts: guests spooking the horses, grabbing the falcon, even putting their hands on the queen. They want better pay and safety -- and respect huffpost.com/entry/medieval-…
No one should have to go three years of bargaining to earn a living wage and rights as an employee. Good luck to @azrepublicguild at the table today! ✊🏻
Today, we're back at the bargaining table with @Gannett to present a new pay proposal that includes minimum salaries and raises based on years of experience, plus much-needed cost-of-living increases. 🧵

Yesterday, I was joined by Donyale Whitaker of @UHLocal25, Aaron True of @AfjUnion and @WTUTeacher educator Clare Berke to talk about the AFL-CIO's latest polling data on the "Great Resignation" — or as we're calling it, the "Great Resurgence."
Today we joined an important conversation hosted by the @AFLCIO about the increasing number of nonprofit staffs that are unionizing. Take a listen to our shop steward Aaron True and learn more about their polling on the "great resignation": youtube.com/watch?v=-PLRNL9t…

We’re the Charlotte Observer News Guild. We’re unionizing to create a better — and stronger — Charlotte Observer. 🐝

“The piece I’m most excited about is when we list out what discriminatory behavior can include,” Aaron True said, noting that AfJ, like many nonprofits, has had a lot of turnover among staffers of color.

Last night the staff represented by @AFJUnion voted YES to ratify the first union contract in our organization’s 43-year history. Here is what that means. 👇
AFJUnion retweeted
Greater worker power is key to our vision of a just society. We fight for it each day.
We're proud to announce that AFJ and @AfjUnion have agreed to the first-ever contract in the organization's history. afj.org/article/afj-celebrat…
Oh, and the best part? Our contract includes some of the best nondiscrimination protections in ANY union contract that is already being used as a starting point for many other unions. Want to use it for yours? Our DMs are open. ✉️
