Not one but two Colorado libraries have closed because of an unsafe amount of meth found in their buildings. Englewood and Boulder had their buildings tested for meth contamination but Denver Public Libraries has not.

Denver's Department of Public Health and Environment says that there is currently no protocol to regularly test for meth and they are working on a protocol for assessment and cleaning.

Meth residue can lead to an itchy throat, runny nose and/or bloodshot eyes. It’s not believed that long term exposure can cause chronic health problems. Do you think DPL should test for meth? #dpl #denver #denverlibrary #UnionStrong

BREAKING: Uber says workers make $37 an hour. That's a blatant lie. We found Denver workers for Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash merely make $5.49 after expenses. That's 35% of the city minimum wage ($15.87) &officially puts workers below the poverty line. theguardian.com/us-news/2022…

Colorado gig drivers make an average of just $5.49 an hour, study finds

Although the report focuses on drivers in Denver, gig worker drivers across the US face similar issues, experts say

Last week, 172 of us emailed @thisisinsider management explaining why we need job security, pay equity, metrics reform, and other proposals our union made. Two days later, Insider's counsel told us they didn't read our emails. So today we made sure they can read them.

BOOM! After 120 years, Minor League Players are now unionized. And it's part of a much larger trend in the labor movement. I write about it here @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…
Victory! Minor League Baseball Players Are Finally Unionized.

Victory! Minor League Baseball Players Are Finally Unionized.

Thanks to grassroots organizing, which much of the media is ignoring, minor leaguers will now join the Major League Players Association.

Union busting on CSU campus. Absurd.
UCW Colorado State University (@UCWCSU) profile pictureUCW Colorado State University@UCWCSU15 Sep 2022
🚨🚨[BREAKING]🚨🚨 CSU custodial workers are being told to REMOVE OUR POSTERS. Yesterday, a CSU custodian worker informed us of the university’s union-busting attempt targeted at GWOC. With their permission we share the communication between them and their direct supervisor. 🧵
email to colostate.gradworkers@gmail.com on September 14. Message reads "I am a custodian at CSU and I just wanted to let you know that custodial crews are being told to remove your fliers if we find them. I can't say for sure where the directive came from, only that it was communicated to me by my supervisor, and he says it came from the Custodial Service Manager. I assume it was probably someone above her that gave the order though. I just wanted you to be aware of it, because it feels a lot like an attempt at union busting to me."

Text message exchange between custodian and supervisor. Supervisor sends a photo of three GWOC posters, including "Grad workers join your union" and "f--k fees", with the directive "If you see these in your buildings take them down please." Response from custodian is redacted. Supervisor replies "I honestly don't know if it's students or a real union. All the information I have is that we need to take them down if they're in the hallways of our buildings for now from Custodial Service Manager (name redacted)."
