Minneapolis: Trade unions march for immigrant rights

Minneapolis, MN – Over 1000 union members, immigrant rights activists and supporters marched through Minneapolis’ Whittier neighborhood on Monday, February 16, to demand an end to ICE’s occupation of the city and for the defense of immigrant rights.

Marchers held dozens of banners with slogans like “ICE our now,” “Legalization for all,” and “Killer ICE off our streets.” The march began at Stewart Park, crossed a highway where the supportive honks of passing traffic temporarily drowned out the marchers’ chants, and ended at the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street, where Alex Pretti was murdered.

Thousands of UC Employees Plan Strike To Protest Wage Stagnation

More than 65,000 University of California campus and health center employees will launch a two-day strike on November 17 and 18 over the university’s failure to settle contracts addressing the cost of living and affordability crises facing its most economically vulnerable workers. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Local 3299, which represents more than 40,000 UC service and patient care technical workers, will lead the strike, joined in solidarity by 25,000 UC nurses represented by the California Nurses Association.

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
