Nurses dig into rainy day funds to keep Kaiser strike going
UC Berkeley labor expert sees possible layoffs ahead after billions cut from Medi-Cal funding in California
"The union of 31,000 registered nurses and health professionals doesn’t have a strike fund to keep them going forever, so nurses are tapping their savings, cutting back on extras, like dining out, or going down to one car in a household for commuting."

Some years ago a banjo player Desert Rat was throwing out songs that remind me of the stuff Jesse Welles is doing now
But he only did one home-made CD right after the WTO protests in 1999 as far as I know. The distribution just wasn’t there like YouTube now
This is a later recording of one of those songs
“When the Tear Gas Fills the Sky”

@QudsNen and yet #albanese and #labor have invited the #israeli President to Australia to ….check notes….meet and great Jewish people who live in Australia (bit hard to differentiate here so leave it at that. I’m pretty sure Australian citizens who are of Jewish faith but don’t have Israeli citizenship won’t want to meet him), also the Prime Minister and I’m pretty sure the premier of NSW will be there. We introduced hate laws but I’m guessing they are exempt.
"The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics’ jobs report shows some striking disparities: 91,000 women left the labor force last month, compared to 10,000 men who joined the labor force last month. If we zoom out to look at all of 2025, men’s labor force size grew by 572,000, while women’s grew by only 184,000. That means men joined the labor market at a rate three times greater than women."

EXCELLENT. As it should be. Although #police #unions are separate/apart from actual organized #labor, they are #workers - and Americans, humans - also, and should also be explicit in their opposition to federal troops' combat against the US. (Someone please tell them that they are American workers; that police and people have very real common interest.)

Nothing in your contract was “given.”
It was earned.
Letting it slide is how it gets taken.
Defend what workers built.
Protect what workers won.

The Florida AFL-CIO organized the event to demand justice and accountability for Alex Pretti, a Veterans Administration nurse and American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union member who was murdered by Border Patrol in Minneapolis.

So a few small #restaurants in #Astoria are observing the #strike, but not larger more affluent ones in #NYC, let alone rest of the country? At the risk of stating the obvious, #migrant #cooks are vulnerable to #ICE crackdown, and restaurants would not function without migrant #labor

I don't see #Georgia as different. I think it's very similar mentality. Lots of blue collar. Lots of #labor. I've done all the #urban stuff too. Taxi driver, line cook, temp warehouse worker, crate builder at docks in Seattle, Doordash driver at 63. Experience living where most live. Check to check.
What #Utah businesses deserve your money... after today's general strike.
