BU is suspending non-essential operations at 1 today. Workers who are released should take part in this stand-out. Those whose contracts prohibit them from *strike* activity can nonetheless express themselves outside of paid working hours. So... show up STRONG! #BostonLabor

Today students received an email from admin stating they “recognize the key role” TAs & RAs play in helping the university operate. Let’s see @TempleUniv recognize that via paying us a higher wage instead of hiring scabs! #TempleUnionMade #TUGSAstrike

Today, Starbucks workers and our allies were out in front of OVER 100 stores, letting our customers know that union-busting not only hurts workers, but customers too. Stop breaking our hearts, @Starbucks, and be the company you claim to be.

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade

About to sit down and do an hour (or more! damn labor movement!) of union work so help me from turning bitter: tell me about a song that when you hear it and immerse in it you feel most like yourself. Like, it helps you-do-you: thrilled, at peace, good-bad-but-not-evil?
