Standing with our TN union siblings today. RTW is the right to get fleeced.
The language “right-to-work” does not appear anywhere on today's ballot, and some employment lawyers say the amendment is framed in a way that intentionally ignores the context of what “right-to-work” really means. mlk50.co/3FUXC9d

Workers at the Augusta Chipotle have organized a union! These workers are demanding safe, adequate staffing at their store. They filed today for union recognition as Chipotle United, an independent union.
Welcome to the labor movement, Chipotle United! @UnionElections
And let’s not forget the kickass organizers from the @guild_maine and @newsguild who taught us everything we know about building a strong union!
BREAKING: We are happy to announce our newly elected #union leaders. Here’s to our inaugural chair @cburnsbdn, vice chair @LiaOffLeash and secretary @sawyerloftus18. Next stop: bargaining. #unionstrong
We are happy to announce we’ve received formal #union recognition from the @bangordailynews. We’re officially now part of the @guild_maine and @newsguild family! #unionstrong
We can't wait to celebrate with our community once we have our binding voluntary recognition agreement signed. Everyone in, and no one out! #solidarity #unionstrong #LocalNewsMatters
We have been overwhelmed to see so much support from our community. But nothing has lifted our spirits more than seeing former @bangordailynews reporters, from Texas to here in Maine, standing alongside us. Your voices make all the difference.

More than 1,500 journalists at 26 workplaces joined the #unionstrong movement! Of the 35 union campaigns in 2021, only TWO failed. Of the 37 union campaigns in 2020, NONE failed. Stand up @bangordailynews. We have nothing to lose and a newsroom to gain! actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

The news cycle never stops. Neither is our drive to make the @bangordailynews #unionstrong!!! Media unions win at a higher rate than union drives as a whole (96% versus 65% in 2020)!!! Come on. We can do this! #solidarity #unions #unionstrong #LocalNewsMatters
We are blown away by the support we've received only a day after going public. If you support us, please sign our petition. We're already more than halfway to our goal. With your support, we'll be #unionstrong. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
