.@RustBuilt is back at it with the #Pittsburgh Breakfast Club.
@JoshFabian of @TryMetafy sharing his #founder story. It's a good one, full of risk-taking yarns.
Also, @Caferaymond makes a mean egg sandwich.

Great read.
Includes good lessons for #Pittsburgh #creatives and #tech workers.
Keep an eye on our social accounts.
We'll be organizing events to network, learn, and upskill.

New provocation from me on the dynamics of regional economic development, or why attracting talent isn't enough. "A New Pittsburgh Labor Movement, Part 1" postindustrial.com/stories/a… Part 2 soon, all at @post_industry

"What difference does a union make? Unions give workers a voice in their working conditions; they force management to share power and make decisions more equitably. " #1u apollo-magazine.com/unions-u…
Federation of Tech Workers retweeted
In most markets and industry verticals, tech and #tech adjacent workers have the luxury of more demand for their skilled #labor than there is supply.
Nobody knows if that trend will continue.
Not all #workers have that privilege.

Amazon faces a far bigger threat than in Alabama now that the Teamsters are mounting a national effort to unionize Amazon
"Amazon is driving working conditions downward—Amazon’s model is not good for working families, it’s threatening middle-class jobs."

Thank you @VP Harris and @SecMartyWalsh for meeting with @steelworkers members from HCL today to hear why they chose to organize at their workplace! #Solidarity #1u
Today in Pittsburgh, @SecMartyWalsh and I met with Google contract workers who voted to form a union with the @Steelworkers in the Fall of 2019–the first white-collar tech union in the country.

.@SecMartyWalsh and I just met with organizers from unions representing workers in a variety of sectors.
The right of workers to organize and collectively bargain could not be more important. Because when unions are strong, America is strong.

. @SteveDainesMT-The #PROAct is vital to our members - we need stronger & swifter remedies when employers interfere with workers’ rights. VOTE YES!
