Unions continue on, protecting workers, regardless of which Party's in the White House or Congress.

Who else can you say that about?

Getting my job back at the Washington Post would not have been possible if it wasn’t for me belonging to a union.

@postguild.bsky.social and @wbng.org are the unions I belong to. I was able to challenge my wrongful termination because of the collective bargaining agreement / union contract!

Please don’t cross the picket line — support the workers and their rights!

Please consider shopping small businesses or just saving your money all together. 💙🙏🏽

Two vital pieces of info b4 Black Friday:

1. Price trackers have proven that Amazon has been slowly hiking prices so they can pretend to slash them on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. There are no actual deals. Just the appearance of them.

2. Amazon workers are on strike

5/9 Weakened Labor Unions & Solidarity
Union membership dropped from 30% mid-20th century to under 10% today.
Right-to-Work laws decimated collective bargaining.
Without unions, workers lost leverage for fair wages, conditions, & solidarity. #UnionsMatter #RebuildTheBlue #ChangeFor2026

You can also thank unions for this drop in child mortality … they fought for child labor laws
So small children are no longer being maimed and killed in factories and sweatshops. #UnionsMatter #LaborHistory

Workers have endured many injustices while leading the charge for a better future for all.

Today, that fight continues.

The Trump administration has aggressively targeted union rights, especially for federal workers.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Is it time for a real Labour Party in Canada?

Union members are tired of being taken for granted. If the NDP won’t stand up for workers, maybe it’s time we built something that will.

Dark blue background, gold border, nffe eagle and cog logo at the top. Bottom two thirds of the slide is a yellow bulldozer pushing toward burning trees on a black background. Headline: big wg news from region 8. Body: we have successfully negotiated the promotion of 10 WG fire equipment operators in SC and another 9 in Florida are rolling out. They will now have pay parity with other regions (wg-10)! Everything is the same except the body which reads: please work with Jason, Marty, or Lorenza, to make sure your resumes are highlighting your skills, so you can put your best foot forward applying for the promotions.

It's been a busy couple of months, trainingwise, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

We're working on photos from the other classes, if you have them, please slide them into our dms @iamw3center

Round fsc HOLD THe Line logo with clenched upraised fist in the middle. From the Desk of Genny Kotyk Forest Service Council President (acting) I want to thank everyone that was able to make it to W3 in the last couple months and especially to our training committee and instructors who put so much effort into refreshing the content and holding these meaningful trainings. Also a shout out to our council and committee chair members that took time away from their families to really put in some effort planning ahead for the next two years of our work. Hopefully, everyone traveled home safely. And lastly, I want us all to remember what we made it through this time last year: The Valentine's Day massacre. We came together stronger than we ever have with many of our union leaders really stepping up and putting a lot of time and effort into saving thousands of employees' jobs. Many of whom got reinstated because of the work of some of our newest union leaders. That's what unions are all about; recognizing what we can do collectively for each other and pitching in. I hope you enjoyed the double holiday weekend and come back ready to continue to hold the line. Her signature in white with grey. A photo of a blond longhaired female presenting person. @www.NFFE-FSC.org Fsc intermediate steward training, with instructor cadre and Forest Service Council members. Reads the caption. There a gaggle of folks on stairs in front of a brick building. There's an assortment of men and women with varying hair lengths and ethnicities. The variety of beards&facial hair is impressive. Your forest service council members who were able to attend reads the caption. A gaggle of folks are standing infront of a partially frozen harbor. There is asailboat mast poking up about a third of the way across the photo from the right. One person has taken a knee. Two folks are photo shopped in due to being mia during the original photo session. There are leafless trees in the background with some interspersed pines.
