When the California labor movement says if we don't get it, shut it down, we mean it! #AB257#AB2183
Yall can keep your fake TV shows about bikers running guns and drugs that keep being based in Stockton. We got a real club riding side by side farmworkers and supporters and shutting down roads along the way. Put THAT on a Netflix series! #AB2183
If you don't have pictures of bikers shutting down intersections for farmworkers fighting to unionize, I don't want your magazine. #ab2183#UnionsForAll
Good morning to the educator strikers, the miner strikers, the oil strikers, the coffee strikers, the electrical strikers, and whoever else I missed, but not the scabs.
Scabs go home.
Follow @WeAreCTA@seiu1021@SacTeachers for HOT FRESH STRIKE LINES starting in about 45 minutes. I've been promised many dogs!!!! Get those retweet fingers ready!
Strong first signs out of Sacramento. The labor puns community rejoices.
Worker reports on IG that they were bussed out of the Chevron Richmond Refinery yesterday before the strike, not sure how this works where you're gonna go on strike at midnight and bosses are like NOT IF WE LOCK YOU OUT FIRST!
So I don't know if its an actual lockout or what 🤷♂️
@JortsTheCat OK Jorts, get out of the trash can. Have Jean bring you a pipe cleaner, and get ready for a long response:
American labor law is primarily governed by the National Labor Relations Act, which was passed in 1935 as a response to a massive strike waves by unions which didn't..
@JortsTheCat ...have clearly defined rules, except in the transport industry, which to this day is covered by the National Railway Act. The constitution, through freedom of association, gaurentees the right to a union, realistically the NLRA was a measure by CAPITAL to ensure INDUSTRIAL PEACE
@JortsTheCat ...it's more complicated than this, but the tldr is since the NLRA was passed by racists, it also INTENTIONALLY excluded industries where the labor is performed by people of color, especially the service sector and farm workers, and the labor movement was never fully united...
Giving the military industrial complex $7.7 trillion without an audit because they're afraid of crickets and we need to calm them down or they might accidentally bomb another innocent family
