"#Amazon closing all #Quebec warehouses, cutting jobs"
"Barbara Agrait, a spokesperson with Amazon, denies that the decision was made following the #unionization of 200 employees last spring at Amazon’s DXT4 warehouse in #Laval, Que."
Yeah right!
You have to #unionize
Amazon's stunt here is a threat to other places thinking of forming a #union. But if enough unionize, the plutocracy has to give in and accept it
That is the only way forward

It’s legal for prisoners to unionize — and it can be invaluable for incarcerated people who are often laboring in difficult conditions without pay. @TexasObserver’s Michelle Pitcher talked to Texans in and out of prisons who are helping empower prisoners to seek better conditions — including the right to be paid and to refuse work.

Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson wrote a separate opinion concurring w/parts of the majority….
The case was brought by #Starbucks over the firing of 7 workers in #Memphis who were trying to #unionize a store in 2022. The company said it fired them for allowing a TV crew into a closed store, while the workers said that they were fired for their #unionization efforts & that the company didn’t typically enforce the rules they were accused of violating.

A lot of the super exciting #archivist #librarian #curator #unionization wins/campaigns in recent years seem to be concentrated in the Midwest - Newberry Library, Minnesota Historical Society, U. Michigan. If anyone knows of any other #GLAM examples from the southern United States, I would be IMMENSELY grateful! #librarians #archivists #curators #unions #museums #libraries #archives
The people of #Volkswagen in #ChattanoogaTN voted overwhelmingly to #unionize with the #UAW . #PetersburgMutualAid would like to wish a #heartfelt #congratulations to the #autoworkers and the #community at large.
May this begin a wave of #unionization and autonomous community organization in the south! Perhaps even #PetersburgVA will catch the wave!
