I'm late but workers at the Delonis Center, also known as the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County, asked for voluntary recognition of their union, Delonis Workers United on the 5th! The bosses said no of course so, those workers filed a petition for an election with the NLRB!

Workers in the @WestVirginiaIWW @OvecUnion were illegally retaliated against for union support. Recently, the NLRB ruled in their favor and ordered they be given backpay. youtu.be/9TQ3ZCQeTX4
