3,800 workers and Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union members at JBS beef processing plant in #Greeley, Colorado, walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike on March 16. This is the first strike ever at the Greeley plant—one of the largest in the country—and it’s the biggest meatpacking strike in the US since the 1985-86 strike at the Hormel plant in Austin, Minnesota.

The Underground Movement To Spark Union Organizing From the Inside

When you apply for a job as an “associate” at an Amazon warehouse, you don’t have to attach a résumé or supply references. All you have to provide is your name and your Social Security number, and the automated hiring system conducts a basic background check within minutes. If you clear that, congratulations—you got the job!

🫨Delivery drivers around Europe are ReWolting!!!

✊Wolt delivery drivers in CROATIA are on their third day of strike, with basically the same demands as the strikers in CYPRUS!

🤔Are all these thousands of workers wrong, or is this clear proof the company is a bloodsucking parasite?

😉 Which side are you on?
