Scabs have no place in politics ever. You’re either with and for the working class, or you’re not. @AndrewDLewis, you should resign.

The House of Representatives released its budget proposal yesterday for the 2024 fiscal year. We are distressed to learn that the House would slash the NLRB’s budget by a full 33% — an existential blow to the agency’s ability to enforce federal labor law in the workplace.

To my beautiful, intelligent, principled, militantly pro-labor, Black-Mexican daughter—who gave my life meaning 25 years ago—I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine your disappointment in a system & people I asked you to trust. We will demand more. We will do better. We will fix this.💔

California Farm Bureau "deeply disappointed" @GavinNewsom signed #AB2183, says it "threatens the integrity of secret ballot elections and leaves farm employees vulnerable to intimidation by union organizers"

Union busting is disgusting.
Starbucks announced new student loan repayment tools and a savings account program for all U.S. employees who are not union members, the company said, amid a growing union drive and soaring demand for coffee reut.rs/3RU5lY2

Hey friends, it’s Crystal. I’m breaking kayfabe to let you all know that I was fired today. I’m still in shock & I don’t know what comes next for me. But I’m still in the fight, I’ll still be there for the vote count Friday, and we are still going to WIN this. ✊🌹

🧵In 1949, in a case called Joy Silk Mills, the NLRB announced it would order an employer to recognize and bargain with a union, where the union presented evidence of majority support and the employer refused recognition without a good faith doubt as to the union’s majority.

The bosses pay us too little, the landlords squeeze what little we have from us. We stand in solidarity with @moesbooksunion - come to this rally on April 3, 2pm at Moe's Books in Berkeley to support the workers demands for pandemic protection and better pay!
We’re organizing a Santa Cruz contingent to show out for Moe’s workers!! Be there, April 3 at 2 PM! @moesbooksunion @DSAEastBay
A statewide org is a step forward, but the current proposal is a missed opportunity to think creatively and democratically about socialist strategy. Instead, we are being be asked to endorse an org that is little more than a turn-out machine for elections. dsasantacruz.org/articles/el…
