In case you needed a reminder: union baristas are still asking you to NOT BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location. Delete the app off your phone, and sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge to get updates on local calls to action! nocontractnocoffee.org

Thanks to KEPR for covering our strike. This is a warning shot - McClatchy needs to come to the table with a real offer.

June is Safety Month. As the heat turns up, your rights shouldn't cool down. Under an RWDSU contract, you have the right to water, shade, and rest. ☀️🥵

Organizing is about community. It’s about neighbors helping neighbors and coworkers helping coworkers. That’s how we win. 🤝

When I say journalists are supposed to be fearless, she is the blueprint
On this day in 1892, crusading journalist Ida B. Wells launched her anti-lynching campaign after a mob killed three of her friends. ow.ly/p87u50Z2tPq

The Union Advantage: Union workers earn significantly more over their lifetimes than non-union workers. Collective bargaining pays. 💰📈 #WednesdayWisdom

We’re not the only union at a progressive org navigating these challenges. Many have experienced the irony of bargaining with an employer that publicly champions workers’ power but doesn’t do so at home.

Baristas participated in a work stoppage to air out grievances with management and Starbucks corporate. The reaction from customers in the lobby says it all!

actually if you’re an expert in anything (and I use that term broadly) one of the most useful things you can do with your knowledge is share it with journalists on background so the story is reported more accurately! talking to press isn’t a vanity project it’s public education
I can't believe I need to say this, but if, as a journalist, you use my time, research & expertise without quoting me, don't be surprised if I never return your call.

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth: Burnout isn't a personal failure; it's often a workplace failure. Unions fight for the rest and respect you need to stay whole. 🧠💚

Just as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was set to shutter, it was purchased by the Venetoulis Institute, which also owns the Baltimore Banner. Then, they fired most of the @PGHGuild union workers who participated in the recently ended strike at the PPG. therealnews.com/venetoulis-i…
