at Costco but just imagine: Gimli Legolas "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with someone that just fell out of a coconut tree." "How about someone who exists in the context of all in which he lives and what came before him?" "Aye, I could do that"
Big Three UAW members told me they’d be eager to help organize at Tesla and other non-union companies. “Go out west to California? Absolutely, I would go… Show them our strength.”

Under the NLRA 2 or more employees need only have an “honest belief” that working under certain conditions would not be safe/healthy to Just Walk Out. Such activity has been found to be protected even where the employees’ concerns may not be objectively “reasonable.”
I hope every member that votes for this resolution is haunted by the genocide they are abetting for the rest of their lives.
None deserve a moment of peace in their lives, let alone an ounce of support electorally.

The city of Portland, Maine may have the highest minimum wage in the country from January 1st -> January 13th, 2022 ($19.50/hr) thanks to the law’s provision for Hazard Pay. Workers are essential and their pay should reflect that.
Gov Newsom defending Mayor Pete for holding a fundraiser w millionaires in a wine cave w “Swarovski crystals” by pointing out he owns a similar wine cave, & Speaker Pelosi also held fundraisers w/ millionaires in the wine cave & owns a whole vineyard, makes me ready for class war
Arriving somewhere late by 10-15 minutes with an iced coffee in tow is legally considered Protected Concerted Activity under the National Labor Relations Act and nobody can get mad at you for it 🗣

Burden of proof for the Saudí tanker is like realllly high. Chapelle skit level—I’m gonna need whoever bombed the tanker live on video, holding up two forms of ID, saying yes I am Iranian with their grandmas attesting to all of this under oath to convince me it’s not a false flag
Cesar Chavez was one of the founders of United Farm Workers, and he had two beloved dogs named Huelga and Boycott. (Huelga is the Spanish word for strike and Boycott is the English word for boicotear)

“You cannot in my view, have an agreement, two o'clock in the morning that nobody has seen. So, I hope again, the strategy should be to defeat this infrastructure bill.”
An important reminder of how corporations like Starbucks continue to flagrantly break the law to their advantage without facing any consequences. Despite how exhilarating it has been to watch
