On Friday, a few hundred members of unions in the tourism and hospitality industries, teachers, logistics workers and public employees rallied in downtown Los Angeles in a show of unity. The participating unions represented more than 200,000 workers with collective bargaining agreements also due to expire in 2023, organizers said.

Unions representing teachers, truck drivers and other workers who will be headed soon to the bargaining table turned out in downtown Los Angeles to support Hollywood's striking film and television writers.

The UK is gambling on wind in the future of renewables - but as we're seeing, having the turbines doesn't make them turn.

For “Nickel and Dimed,” one of her best known books, she worked in minimum wage jobs so she could learn firsthand the struggles of the working poor, whom she called “the major philanthropists of our society.”
“They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high,” she wrote. “To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone.”

Barbara Ehrenreich, the author, activist and self-described “myth buster” who in such notable works as “Nickel and Dimed” and “Bait and Switch” challenged conventional thinking about class, religion and the very idea of an American dream, has died at age 81.

Today, I spoke with workers at the 88 E. Broad Street Starbucks in Columbus who are petitioning to join a union.

They're doing what generations of workers have done in our state – banding together to advocate for themselves and have a voice on the job.

All work has dignity – whether you punch a clock or swipe a badge, or you make coffee. There’s no reason a job at Starbucks should come with fewer rights and less of a career path than a manufacturing job.
