Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien addressed Local 633's Steward’s Seminar Saturday morning in Manchester, New Hampshire. The seminar was led by Local 633 Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Padellaro. “Stewards are the union’s first line of defense and the heart and soul of…
It is a great pleasure to share that Sara Nelson will receive the 2024 Eugene V. Debs Award. The annual tradition continues on September 28 in Terre Haute, Indiana. Tickets and more info coming soon!

I’ve seen enough: Rep. Summer Lee (D) defeats Bhavini Patel (D) in the #PA12 Dem primary.
🚨BIG news: @SummerForPA, the first pro-ceasefire member of Congress facing a serious challenge this cycle, just WON her primary in a blowout victory tonight. Billionaires and dark money just took their first L of the season. Next up: Mobilize and defend @JamaalBowmanNY.

If Taylor Swift can release 31 songs in one night, then the National Labor Relations Board can make a ruling that has been delayed by nearly a year.
I suppose it’s been an ENGAGING weekend. Here’s to together forever with the love of my life, from park hangs and canvassing days, to nights at our favorite spots, and everything in between. How’d I get so lucky? I love you Aparna ❤️

THIS IS HUGE. When workers fight, they win 🔥💪🏾 the whole Local Progress network is thrilled for @UAW and the VW Chattanooga workers! Even in states that are hostile to labor, workers organizing across the South can still win fair pay, benefits, and more power on the job

I've seen a developer essentially write an ordinance, and then it pass 7-1 a few weeks later. It was stunning how brazen it was. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they spend thousands on political donations every cycle 🤔

i love how the cuny encampment is not only a space to show solidarity for palestine and a way to protest for our demands, but also a space of community. we’re creating a set list of programming everyday for people to take part in, not just those in cuny. come by 💓🇵🇸
Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
DC needs to stop bowing to the whims of commercial landlords and support the cultural life of our communities instead. @haydengise is right to call for commercial rent control to protect the spaces that make DC worth living in.
I’m a proud member of my Union and grateful for the representation it has provided me and my coworkers through this ordeal. I’m also a proud DSA member. These two things are not mutually exclusive. Our time/labor belongs to every member. We are not a political faction.

Apropos of nothing, when a business shuts down they will never, ever include their own incompetence among the reasons why.
Rereading Romance of American Communism and that’s a book that simply has the juice
Counterfactual: You have a clean, publicly financed school board election, which elects a representative school board with progressive political values. They immediately institute reforms that make the district more answerable to the community. Is the union now irrelevant?
@thehousered school boards are not just unrepresentative, they are often hostile to the community's interests. the "democracy" of elections that put them in office is a farce. almost no regular person could count on the school board to fight for them. how is that at all comparable to the npc?
