VICTORY!!! My coworkers and I in UPTE took on the University of California to fight for our patients, students, & research. Early this morning, our bargaining team announced they had reached a Tentative Agreement with the UC. Details unknown at this time, but it's no coincidence that this was announced shortly before UPTE, AFSCME, & CNA unions went out on the largest strike in UC's history.

Please, please, UC, give us a reason to hit this button AGAIN!
The University of California asked our bargaining team to continue mediation late yesterday. If we don't get a tentative agreement today or tomorrow, I all but guarantee we will go on strike. And if we (UPTE, University Professional & Technical Employees) call a strike, other unions w/o contracts (AFSCME, CNA) will likely join us. 85,000 workers, largest strike at UC? YES, PLEASE! #Labor #HigherEd #California #UPTE #AFSCME #CNA

A hand poised above a 2005-ish "easy button", but the label says "STRIKE!"

@davidnjoku @LibraryAndTea
Off the top of my head ...
At least in the US, many #libraries are partially funded by ballot initiatives that come up every few years. These are not always front page news.
Also, my library has an almost entirely #union-represented work force (shout out #AFSCME Local 21). Your community might have that too. If they are doing the communicating thing well, you might see when they request support but that's not a certain thing.

This weekend, Families First (a collaboration of AFSCME, AFT, Caring Across Generations, Community Change, Fair Share America, Families Over Billionaires, Family Values Work, Moms Rising, MoveOn, National Domestic Workers Alliance, NEA, People’s Action Institute, Planned Parenthood, SEIU, and Working Families Power) is hosting events across the country to say: our families come first, and we will protect each other.

DC33’s workers are back on the job, doing what they do to keep the city running but they are still underpaid, overworked, and unappreciated by the people who sign their paychecks.

In a pivotal labor development, Susie Madrak reveals that Philadelphia's first major city worker strike since 1986 ended after eight days with a new contract. Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and union leader Greg Boulware agreed to terms, allowing 9,000 essential workers to return. The three-year contract includes 3% annual raises and a new pay scale step, but Boulware expressed disappointment, highlighting the negotiation's challenges.
