“In an election held in July and August, more than 97 percent of workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon national parks voted in support of organizing a union, according to a statement from the National Federation of Federal Employees. The Federal Labor Relations Authority certified the results last week.”

@doctormo @joshbressers #Unionization can only apply to employees (or contractors!)

• Most #FLOSS is done with neither expectation nor contract to maintain it.

Just learned our friend and the entire #dance programming staff was fired today at the Kennedy Center, despite being in the midst of unionizing.

Please make noise about this as this is a blow to the entire national and international arts community.

On April 6, 1980, the #Canadian #Farmworkers #Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions among #Chinese and #EastIndian #ImmigrantWorkers in #BritishColumbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and #labour contractors to the threat of #unionization. Made over a period of two years, the #documentary film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the #WorkersMovement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members.

“The union’s success on the Strip is a notable exception in a national landscape where union membership overall is declining. And this summer, contracts have provided workers with added security as the city’s tourism dips.”

Thanks to @anaulin and @internetross for co-facilitating a conversation with the internal folks who facilitated the #unionization efforts at Exygy, a #Software #Consultancy.

We may publish some notes on the zinc.coop website; but my take-aways were:

- One on Ones are S-Tier Skill
- Work with the CWA! They know their shit!
- Take the time to build the Super Majority!
- Stay Positive
- Develop your understanding of Solidarity (Rec for #OnSolidarity by #HaymarketBooks - https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2252-on-solidarity)

If you have recommendations for further conversations re: Organizing and Mobilizing towards Justice in Software Organizations, please send them my way!

Trump put out an executive order (EO) to take away the collective bargaining (union) rights of federal employees today, claiming such rights counter “national security requirements and considerations.”

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: The Theory and Practice of Resistance, Episode 9: Music and Mobilization https://therevolutionwillnotbetelevised.net/#episode9 is now live on our site, Peertube, & YT.

What role does music play in mobilizing resistance? Do protest songs actually matter? Looking at the example of the role that radio played in facilitating the textile worker strikes of the 1930s, we can learn lessons for today.

Former Whole Foods cashier in Hadley, MA and St. Paul, MN here. I'm rooting for Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia today as they vote on #unionization. #solidarityforever

Visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium was the highlight of my vacation to California several years ago. I support the unionization efforts of its employees to ensure that many more visitors have the chance to say the same.

"#Amazon closing all #Quebec warehouses, cutting jobs"

"Barbara Agrait, a spokesperson with Amazon, denies that the decision was made following the #unionization of 200 employees last spring at Amazon’s DXT4 warehouse in #Laval, Que."

Yeah right!

You have to #unionize

Amazon's stunt here is a threat to other places thinking of forming a #union. But if enough unionize, the plutocracy has to give in and accept it

That is the only way forward
