Last June, @Suzanne and I were delighted to meet Amazon Labor Union (ALU) president Christian Smalls & other ALU organizers, activists & members at the Labor Notes biannual conference in Chicago.
Chris Smalls & his team of ALU organizers are the future of our trade union movement. Their victories against Amazon & Jeff Bezos are already legendary, inspiring a new generation of union activists & organizers, across North America and beyond.
Amazon Labor Union (ALU) is officially a certified UNION!
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Region 28 has CERTIFIED Amazon Labor Union (ALU) at #Amazon’s JFK8 Building in Staten Island, New York after months of #NLRB hearings!
This is a HUGE moment for the entire trade union movement!
Congratulations to ALU president Christian Smalls and the entire ALU organizing team and membership!
ALU inspires us all!
When We Fight We Win 🏆 ✊🏾
Solidarity! ✊
Greetings from Cuba, where @Suzanne and I will be for the next month.
We’ve got a few more days in the Varadero and Matanzas area, and then we head to Havana this coming Thursday January 12th, where we’ve got an apartment rented for four weeks on the Malecón at Calle 23 / La Rampa in #Havana’s Vedado neighbourhood.
Planning roadtrips to #Viñales, #PlayaGirón / #PlayaLargo, #Cienfuegos, #Trinidad, and more during the month ahead, although we will be primarily based in Havana.
I still prefer the old-style “Union Solidarity” Christmas tree lights of my distant youth.
When one went out, they would *all* go out.
An injury to one is an injury to all.

The #TwitterBan on links to other social media accounts is obviously designed to do make it more difficult to find and follow the non-Twitter accounts of people or organizations on platforms like #Mastodon.
I’ve just followed a little over 400 “new” folks here on Mastodon that I had been following on #Twitter for eons (and whose tweets I have found valuable to follow for various reasons) using the simple and easy third-party Mastodon migration tool https://MoveToDon.org.
Federally-regulated workers in Canada now have ten paid sick days as of today!
Now we need to fight to ensure at least ten paid sick days for all workers in each of the provinces and territories!
Taking some time off this weekend?
Thank a union!
Unions: the folks who brought us the weekend!
