This Labor Day, we’re standing in solidarity with the ongoing labor battles and picket lines happening across the country. Here are just a few of the many instances of workers in this country rising up to demand more rights & dignity on the job:
All U.S. Nabisco factories are still on strike. Workers at Nabisco sites in 5 states are protesting cuts to wages, pensions, and overtime pay. #NoContractNoSnacks
Over a thousand @MineWorkers at Warrior Met Coal have been on strike since April 1.
They’re demanding a new, fair contract that restores the wages & benefits they gave up 6 years ago in order to save the coal company from bankruptcy.
Nearly 700 nurses have been on strike at St. Vincent Hospital for over 6 months. It’s the longest nurses’ strike in MA history.
The @MassNurses say that Tenet Healthcare, which owns St. Vincent, has been short-staffing the hospital just to turn a profit.
Amazon workers on Staten Island are taking on the corporate goliath and organizing four NYC warehouses to form @amazonlabor. They’ve already signed up over one thousand workers.
In a huge recent labor victory, workers from Colectivo Coffee won their union election and formed the largest cafe workers union in the United States.
They now enter into negotiations with Colectivo management to bargain for a fair first contract.
