Breaking -- More Union Gains >> Workers at two Movement climbing gyms in Chicago have voted overwhelmingly to unionize. At the Movement gym in Lincoln Park, workers voted 22 to 1 in favor of joining Workers United. At Movement's gym in Wrigleyville, the vote was 12-1 in favor
Congrats @uawmembers This is #1M1V can do. We’re coming for you @UFCW
🎶 sign me up for the union 🎶 This performance by the Pittsburgh Labor Choir in support of Post-Gazette workers gives so much joy. 🔥
The PRO Act is back, baby!! 🔥
The book is out! The first negotiations book written by a negotiator for workers. Rules to Win By uses the lens of union negotiations but is applicable to any setting where the working class pulls up to win against today's hyper greedy corporate class. 1/10
Nina Wurz, member of the Carpenters Union and PJ Maguire group kicking it off: “It’s time to take back our unions and make them the democratic militant unions they should be. It’s time for a workers party, it’s time for workers to strike back!”
HR exists to protect the company. A union exists to protect you and your colleagues.
Successful unionization driven by independent unions has the potential to raise unionization levels across the nation. It is essential for organized labor to lend its support to worker-based unions in order to promote this endeavor. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

A lot of folks were wondering who the 5 senators were who voted against guaranteeing workers reasonable break time to pump breast milk. (It passed 92-5.) They were: --John Cornyn (R-Tex.) --Mike Lee (R-Utah) --Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) --Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) --Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
NSLU is growing company wide! We are feeling excited and optimistic for our future with hope to inspire more fellow workers to join us for the fight of equality and equity in the work place. #NSLU #NSLUPDX #NewSeasonsLaborUnion #StrongerTogether #KeepGoing #groceryworkersunite

WE WON 99-3
NEW: Delta pilots just won a 34% raise after voting 99% to authorize a strike. They're leading an uprising of pilots against management at all of America's largest airlines. Like rail workers, pilots have gone years without a raise & say they’ve hit their breaking point.
We WON our UNION!!!! 59 yes 11 no, there is no mistaking that Homegrown workers want a union 👏
12/9 is a date that I'm never going to forget. Its the day that my coworkers and I looked at each other and said, "oh shit, this is actually possible." Its the day that forming a union at Starbucks stopped being just a joke we make when something bad happens at work.
New York Times workers have walked off the job on strike today. They’re telling customers to respect the picket line — no articles, no crossword, no wordle.

🚨 BREAKING: Major legal cases involving SpaceX & Trader Joe's are causing a stir. In a lengthy thread, I'll explain why these developments could be the greatest legal threat in labor history. Stay tuned for the details. #SpaceX #TraderJoes #LaborLaw #BreakingNews
in January 2024, SpaceX, represented Harry I. Lewis III @MorganLewisLaw filed a lawsuit against @NLRB in federal court in South Texas. The basis of their argument NLRB and the NLRA violate the separation of powers clause of the Constitution and are therefore unconstitutional.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB SpaceX's case presents three main arguments. First, they claim that the NLRB's members and administrative law judges have protection from removal by the president, which they argue is unconstitutional.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB Second, they argue that NLRB proceedings violate the Seventh Amendment right to a trial by jury. And third, they contend that the NLRB's combination of executive, judicial, and legislative functions is a violation of the separation of powers.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB Currently, SpaceX is seeking a preliminary injunction and in a matter of weeks, a federal judge could make a decision that would halt the NLRB's operations.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB This could result in a situation where employers rush to federal court to obtain injunctions against ongoing board trials and prevent board members from issuing decisions. Additionally, employers may seek compensation from employees who have received awards that violate the Act.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB In a footnote in SpaceX's preliminary injunction brief, the company also requests that the court reconsider and overturn the 1937 Supreme Court case, Jones & Laughlin, which upheld the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB Moreover, the impact of this case has been directly felt by Trader Joe’s United, an independent union, in their efforts to secure a first contract. Previously, the union successfully organized four Trader Joe’s stores.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB However, in the past eighteen months, workers at the Hadley and Minneapolis stores have been subjected to numerous unlawful violations of the National Labor Relations Act.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB The employer has engaged in illegal activities, retaliated against union supporters, engaged in surface bargaining with no intention of reaching a collective bargaining agreement, and is seeking to decertify the union at the Hadley store.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB The NLRB has issued a complaint and we are currently in trial in Region 1 in Hartford, Connecticut.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB Just three weeks ago, Trader Joe's counsel, Chris Murphy and Kelcey Phillips of Morgan Lewis, amended the company's answer on record to include the affirmative defense that the National Labor Relations Act and the NLRB are unconstitutional.
@MorganLewisLaw @NLRB Trader Joe's plans to appeal unfair labor practices, such as failure to provide equal 401(k) benefits to union workers and the termination of a union supporter, all the way to the Supreme Court in order to obtain a ruling on the constitutionality of federal labor laws.
These court actions by Space X and Trader Joe’s are a concerning tactic used by union-busting companies to discourage workers from organizing and exercising their rights under section 7 of the Act.
This issue should be a top priority for organized labor, but unfortunately, it seems to have flown under the radar and many unions and labor activists are unaware of the potential consequences if a preliminary injunction is granted in the coming weeks or months.
If we do not take action, our labor laws could be set back by 100 years, union organizing will be chilled, and we could see a return to the Lochner era.
If you have any questions, regarding this important matter, please, DM me.
As a correction, it may not be the worst decision in the history of labor, but it could be one of the worst and consequential decisions since the Wagner Act was passed in 1935.
