The Culinary is the union of hospitality workers in Las Vegas. They merged with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and a few others and are today part of UNITE-HERE.

They would be taking 40,000 workers out on strike, making this the largest strike in recent history.

This year will be written about.

The law allows tickets of up to 500 dollars and 60 days in jail. Mutual aid activists have called it "war on the unhoused." West Palm Beach FnB has been ticketed over 25 times under this law.

This is the front line of the fight against fascism in Florida.

They've complained the last few days that thr GOP has voted against funding the border and the pentagon. It's for the wrong reasons, but that is absolutely a good thing. Democratic propaganda machine is swinging hard right.

The Bay Area IWW is doing some impressive work doing contract oriented organizing transparently and democratically.

Housing is a human right. This is what decomoddification from the bottom up looks like.

Till every cage is empty.

From a prefigurative perspective, this is socializing 7.5 million people to participate in a communist economy. It can't happen without toppling the capitalists, but it's a neccesary step.

So when you unionize, you sign cards or a petition saying you want a union. It's then up to the employer to either start negotiating a contract with the workers (lol) or to hold an election.

If a majority votes "yes", then the employer is required to recognize the union and begin bargaining (negotiating) or face fines.

The problem is that most employers will hold and election and then run a campaign of dissuasion and intimidation.

The NLRB (the US's organized labor referee, set up to prevent outright class conflict) just ruled that if an employer abuses the election process to keep the union out, they can be required to bargain.

If this law had been in place before, the Bessemer Amazon warehouse would probably be union right now.

I've seen too many people get in trouble, not ask for their rep, and get fired. Then, they go to worse paying jobs to avoid the union, because they feel betrayed.

Please please please tell everyone that the minute you're called into your bosses' office, ask for your rep or steward.

I don't want to lose any more co-workers for dumb shit because they don't know their rights.

When environmentalists know how to win, that's when we save the earth. Take notes. Let's win again in Weelaunee.

Fuck the cops. Fuck the courts. Empty the cages. Trans Liberation.
