AI companies want to monetize what makes us human. Organized labor may be the only force strong enough to stop them.
This is what collective union power looks like. Solidarity with our Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org siblings in their fight for a fair contract!
Working people are told there’s no money for fair wages, yet employers are spending more than $1.5 BILLION a year trying to stop workers from forming unions.
No amount of union-busting can stop us from organizing. #UnionsForAll ✊🏿
"The Workers Who Defy Gravity" by @bedoyausa.bsky.social is a must-read. Congress won't protect us from AI, but organized labor is fighting back. Actors, health workers, call center employees are winning against corporations trying to replace us with an algorithm.
Over 100k Illinois rideshare drivers just won the right to form a union through the passage of the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill.
While drivers made rideshare corporations billions, drivers struggled but refused to be ignored.
Now they are on a path to build a union. We organize. We fight. We win.

This is what worker power looks like! Today, the MA App Drivers Union became the first statewide union to win recognition & the right to negotiate with Uber & Lyft. The largest private sector workforce to win union recognition since Ford autoworkers in 1941!

Big news for consumers: New York just passed the One Fair Price Act, which bans corporations from using your personal data to charge you more than your neighbor for the exact same item. NY is the latest state to taking action to ban this unfair practice!
Beef prices are up 20%. Four packers sell 80-85% of all domestic beef. The idea that mergers lower prices? That's baloney, literally, because the pork market is consolidated, too.
Lax antitrust enforcement means higher prices for you. Read our friends at @openmarkets.bsky.social in the NYT.
This is what democracy in the workplace looks like. Let’s go, union baristas in Lancaster PA! 💪

This is what happens when research meets power.
