Good morning, Jeff.
We’re still here.
You can arrest us. Try to take away our heaters. You can turn a water hose on us.
But we’re not going anywhere.
Come to the bargaining table. Jeff
An alleged shoplifter has been caught on tape appearing to steal 10 steaks from NYC Trader Joe’s. I joined MSNBC to speak on the need for public safety and to address criminal justice concerns.

So the going theory now is that things cost more because companies are just raising the prices for no reason other than to make more money.

Today, a majority of the Board found that a union’s use of rats or other inflatables, along with other bannering activity, does not violate the National Labor Relations Act, even when targeting a neutral employer. Read more: nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-…
These robber baron mfers are comfortable saying they want you unemployed. They want to see you in pain.
A class war is being waged- which side are you on?
Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."
Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz complains about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) “unfair” labeling of him as a billionaire:
“I came from nothing … Yes, I have billions of dollars — I earned it. No one gave it to me. And I’ve shared it constantly with the people of Starbucks.”
Schultz at Senate Hearing: I ‘Earned’ My Billions, I Came from Nothing
Companies like Starbucks and REI keep saying they aren’t anti-union. Their heavy handed union busting shows that they’re lying, AND that they think we’re all really gullible prospect.org/labor/two-faced…
As PRIDE month begins, we celebrate and honor the individuals who make up the global LGBTQIA+ community and will continue to enhance our efforts to build a work environment that fosters inclusivity.
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- you never crossed a picket line
- your solidarity with all working people
- your sick union swag
It is absolutely absurd that UPS workers in New York are not eligible for the Covid 19 vaccine. Our members have served the public throughout the pandemic and even deliver the vaccine! @NYGovCuomo must make these heroes eligible!
On a hot day like today, please think about giving your UPS driver some ice or water, because @UPS WONT PUT AIR CONDITIONING IN ALL THE TRUCKS!!!
You can also feel free to yell at UPS about treating their workers worse than dogs
To be clear, unions LOVE mandates -- mandatory payment of union dues, mandatory sharing of employees' personal information, forcing workers into unions via card checks. The only "mandate" they don't love is one that allows employers to tell their side of the story.
Today was our 8th day of bargaining.
@UPS never came to the table.
Stall tactics across the country.
But they better start getting interested.
Its getting late early.
They continue to show total disrespect for their essential workers.
Guess we are far apart.
August 1 is coming
Local 804 endorsed @jessicaramosqns to be NYC’s next mayor. Our support and belief in her remains strong.
Today, we are releasing our endorsement for the candidates who also deserve to be ranked on your ballot: @bradlander and @ZohranKMamdani
REGISTER AND VOTE!!!!
Management, as usual, is acting like common thugs. The industry does not matter.
But the bravery and strength of these workers is inspiring. Be Strong. Be Union. 👊
As holiday season is fast approaching, this is one of many coming reminders to BE GRACIOUS TO WORKERS!
Especially retail workers, delivery workers, restaurant/ service industry workers, and everyone else busting their butts to make this a special time of year.
Your boss is not your friend.
And they sure as hell ain't your family.
They are paying you a fraction of your worth.
Join or form a Union to get what you deserve.
Imagine if the cities in which teams played actually owned those teams. Fund payroll through selling bonds. Hire managers based on referendum. So much upside for the public and no way this makes the game worse.
The amount of exhaustion, despair and anger I’m hearing from people around baseball — people who have dedicated their lives to this industry — is remarkable. The owners are breaking the spirits of the people who run their businesses.
🚨BACK TO LAURELTON🚨
@ups just FIRED THE SHOP STEWARD on BS charges. Manager Vinny Cangialosi is mad that he had to reinstate THE PREGNANT WOMEN HE FIRED so he’s retaliating against the Union.
We are firing up the sign truck, the inflatables, and the panda. DETAILS COMING SOON
🚨THE COMPANY DROPPED ALL CHARGES AGAINST THE REMAINING 9 PART TIMERS🚨
Clean disciplinary records. Pay for ALL lost hours.
We fight. We win. Thank you to everyone who stood with us.
Damn it feels good to be a Teamster
Disgusting behavior from @UPS:
Two pregnant part time workers have been fired for declining overtime work. One of these essential workers is 8 months pregnant!!! There is no excuse for this shameful behavior
💸 Get your money from the industry leaders. UPS part-timers make on average $20 an hour after their first 30 days and are guaranteed annual wage increases and cost of living adjustments.
NEW: Elon Musk says he’ll vote for Republicans this year because “the Democratic Party is overly controlled by the unions and…class-action lawyers.”
Musk is a notorious union-buster & was hit with a class-action lawsuit from 1k Black workers who alleged rampant racism at Tesla.
