People, help Mike. RT @MikeElk: Fuck, I can’t pick up my inhaler because my health insurance has been cut off due to the fact that I couldn’t make this month’s premium.
I don’t have the $60 out of pocket to buy the inhaler I desperately need to breathe paydayreport.com/donate/

"What hasn't changed is the employees' resolve" -- that's because if @WabtecCorp thinks it can get away with corporate greed, it should think again. Solidarity with @ueunion in the second week of this strike in Erie, PA #EndCorporateGreed #Solidarity4UE

Erie, PA: It’s the biggest manufacturing industry labor strike in America and it’s in Day 8. The union members are picketing 24/7 outside, in sometimes freezing temps. It’s no joke. These men (and women) are determined. goerie.com/news/20190305/…

The journalists of the Tribune and our community pubs are our union, no one else. A decade or more of insufficient pay, sliding health insurance + quality of life policies and a shrinking newsroom is enough. We’re demanding better from @tribpub, so is @mcallguild. Recognize it. twitter.com/mcallguild/sta…

Congress has excluded minor-league baseball players from minimum wage protections. The federal minimum wage is just $7.25 per hour. This is a really good piece that gets to the absurd logic of that carveout: that these workers aren't actually working ftw.usatoday.com/2019/03/mlb-sp…

The refusal to not allow new members to vote in recently organized shops could benefit Luzner, who is more well-known in legacy NewsGuild shops; whereas @gaufera is more well known in newer shops paydayreport.com/2000-new-membe…

The rule would effectively disenfranchise approximately 2,000 reporters, nearly 10% of the @news_guild members in what is expected to be the most closely contested NewsGuild election in a decade.

Great inside look at how the Washington Post's union was broken in the 70s and a reminder of why you can never, never stop organizing your union. Also it's always a good time to remember Bob Woodward was a scab. Fuck you Bob Woodward.
Anyhow good piece: cjr.org/first_person/w…

Willie Stargell, born #OTD, led the @Pirates to WS titles in 1971 & '79, was a 7X AS, the '79 NL MVP & led the NL in HRs 2X. More than anything, the HoFer was an exceptional, compassionate man. Here's his @sabr bio sabr.org/bioproj/person… pic.twitter.com/IHspg5byei

“80% of the newsroom has signed union cards.”
“Hmmmmm, have you thought about how the union cannot GUARANTEE you a raise!?”
“Yes, but only b/c you would refuse us.”
“Hmmmmm, an OUTSIDE 3rd PARTY...”
