NEW: What can auto workers at other German and Swedish plants learn from the UAW’s success in Chattanooga, Tennessee? And what new challenges await them in these next campaigns?labornotes.org/2024/04/relay-…
damn, Mercedes workers have already: -- killed two-tier wages -- gotten their UAW pay bump -- fired their boss and they haven't even voted yet! If that's what you get for just *talking* union, imagine what you can win when you *join* the union. May 13-17, get ready.

This is the thing. Impact bargaining does not require bargaining until an agreement is reached, but it DOES require good faith bargaining up until the end.
@LeoECasey @DemSocialists I don’t think I’ve ever seen (though I may have missed an example) any DSA caucus slate, or even independent candidate for the NPC, talk about their experience and competence running large organizations, or even acknowledging that that’s the primary job.
@LeoECasey @DemSocialists Regardless of their view of the current financial issues and collective bargaining subjects, all the DSA factions have spent the past few years devoting geometrically more energy to questions like, “should this organization of 80,000 people form an independent political party”…
@LeoECasey @DemSocialists That’s the proximate issue, yes. But the longer-term issue is all the groups vying for power within DSA believe the surge of growth we saw for a few years was a guarantor of future growth, and they based their visions for DSA on that unsupported proposition.
Though, to reiterate my view: a key source of the problems in @DemSocialists is the belief that an organization which at its peak couldn't fill the Michigan football stadium is a world-historical force on the cusp of victory. A view held by DSA leaders of all stripes.
Vitally important: the union is not obligated to subscribe to management’s view of an organization’s finances.

@ydsnate @RussWeissIrwin The question put to an arbitrator, or to the NLRB through a board charge, would be: did the employer satisfy their obligation to bargain in good faith over the impact of layoffs?
A cool thing that's happening is @TakeActionMN's effort to organize a tenant's union in Duluth. Duluth is a tough rental market, dominated by two large property management firms that are some of the worst in the state. Awesome to see organizing up there. takeactionminnesota.org/duluth-tenants…
Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Today in Baltimore, we commemorated Workers Memorial Day by honoring the six Key Bridge workers who went out to a shift and never came home. On this solemn day, we want everyone to know: no matter who you are or where you're from, the labor movement will fight for you.
It turns out that most progressives, in contradiction to years of slander from the right and center, believe that people with fundamentally different worldviews than theirs are also possessed of a fundamental human dignity and are entitled to basic rights. This has baffled many.
Ah, Prom time. The season when I remember how I asked a girl to go with me, she said she wasn’t going to go, and then went with someone else. Memories.
We don’t have a dog, but here are our cats, all of whom are alive.
Agree. It’s not really debatable.
I want to be very clear that any time you read something with my name that makes you go "wait what" and it's happening in Seattle, you're dealing with bizarro Sara Nelson

Minnesotans show up for each other in every way. We can increase housing options, improve services *and* care for one another. After George Floyd's murder, mutual aid was healing for many. That one neighbor who is warmer in winter bc of the community closet? That matters.

@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme So by all means, continue to make confident assertions based on whatever things you pull out of thin air. I trust that the majority of people can recognize it’s bullshit. Enjoy. 🫡
@geomillette @sclv @chingonasupreme yeah the nlrb doesn’t give a shit whether they’re volunteers or if this is new to them or whatever defense they might raise, they’re management and are obligated to follow the law. so even if they’re fucking up without realizing it, they’re still fucking up!
@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme at the very best, it suggests a level of naked incompetence and obliviousness to their legal obligations that, even assuming good faith, is troubling!
@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme okay, so let’s go with that Management: proposes meeting (unclear if they suggested dates, but often would be the case) 3 days out: union confirms a date/time hours before: management says no after sitting on the union email for days This isn’t the defense you think it is
@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme and this is all a sideshow from the fact pattern that supports allegations of bad faith bargaining. you’re kicking up dirt over the subjects of bargaining based on not understanding it, while distracting from the more fundamental question.
@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme and you keep suggesting this isn’t a mandatory subject when every aspect of layoffs strikes at core compensation and terms/conditions. what do you think is a mandatory subject, if not that.
@sclv @geomillette @chingonasupreme the number of layoffs is absolutely part of the impact, lmao. again, that doesn’t mean the NPC has to reach an agreement with the union, but they have to negotiate in good faith over it.
rip to Mr. Goebbels, you will be missed
BREAKING: Mercedes-Benz U.S. International (MBUSI) President and CEO Michael Göbel has stepped down, according to the company's workers. labornotes.org/2024/04/southe…
damn, Mercedes workers have already: -- killed two-tier wages -- gotten their UAW pay bump -- fired their boss and they haven't even voted yet! If that's what you get for just *talking* union, imagine what you can win when you *join* the union. May 13-17, get ready.
BREAKING: Mercedes-Benz has abruptly replaced its U.S. CEO in an effort to undercut the union drive at Mercedes's plant in Alabama. In a video shown to workers today, new CEO Federico Kochlowski admits that "many of you" want change and promises improvements.
@sclv @chingonasupreme what I’m putting out there is based on how the NLRA works, lol. if it’s confusing sorry — not my fault! fwiw you’re massively inflating how much power impact bargaining gives the union given that there’s no requirement to get union sign-off provided you make a good faith attempt
@sclv @thehousered @irene_koo It is all part of the totality of circumstances, my ignorant friend. Seriously, I understand that you are either an NPC member or a spouse / really close friend of an NPC member and you desperately want them to not be wrong here, but they're wrong.
@sclv @irene_koo @chingonasupreme where on earth are you getting this stuff last minute cancellation of meetings is absolutely considered as part of a fact pattern for bargaining in bad faith.
