🚨 The First Signs of Tyranny: A Wake-Up Call 🚨

Authoritarianism creeps in, step by step—not with tanks, but with small restrictions. First, it's speech. Then, the press. Then, the courts. By the time people notice, democracy is already gutted.

FDNY firefighters are sounding the alarm over NYC’s $9 congestion toll. They warn it could delay emergency response times and put lives at risk. The Labor Party stands with first responders demanding fair policies that prioritize public safety over profit. Should workers and emergency responders bear the burden of corporate-driven urban policies?

The $9 fee for drivers entering Manhattan's busiest areas could mean slower response times, longer shifts, FDNY union officials say.

Statewide Expansion of Involuntary Behavioral Holds Now in Effect

States like #California, #WashingtonState, and #Florida raised their #minimum #wages this year, but others, like #Texas and #Indiana, are still stuck at $7.25 an hour - unchanged since 2009. How can we let millions of workers fall behind while costs keep rising? It is 2019, and it is time for fair wages nationwide.

Florida teachers unions head to trial over anti-union law

Florida’s teachers unions are heading back to court in a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of requirements for certain unions. A trial is scheduled to begin Thursday morning at a federal courthouse in Tallahassee. The case targets a law that sets a higher threshold for membership requirements and prohibits unions from automatically deducting dues from members’ paychecks. Unions representing first responders are exempt. Leaders of the teachers unions argue the law is designed to punish Gov. Ron DeSantis' critics in organized labor, while carving out exceptions for his political allies. DeSantis said when he signed the law that it would lead to more take-home pay for teachers.

Dartmouth basketball players end attempt to unionize in anticipation of shifting NLRB

The Dartmouth men’s basketball team has dropped its attempt to form a union. The team voluntarily ended a push to become the first college sports team to unionize in order to avoid a potentially damaging precedent from a National Labor Relations Board that soon will be controlled by Republicans. The Service Employees International Union Local 560 said it withdrew its NLRB petition on Tuesday rather than take its chances in front of an unfriendly labor board.
