"AI is not magic. Behind every algorithm, there are human beings training and moderating the models, teaching them to recognize an emotion, a murder, a suicide — and doing so in precarious conditions.”

🌍🔥 Climate issues are workers' issues.
Floods. Blackouts. Extreme heat. The climate crisis drives a health crisis, and care workers absorb the impact.
Climate justice means worker justice. #EarthDay

BREAKING: 23,000 Lidl workers in Italy have secured predictable shifts, guaranteed minimum working hours and a stronger say in their work organisation.
This is why Lidl workers across Europe are joining unions — because together they can win real improvements for their lives.
"For retail workers on the frontline, this is real progress. It sends a clear message that abuse is not part of the job, and that employers and governments have a responsibility to protect workers." Japan has a new law to protect workers from customer violence.

AI works best when workers decide how to use it — not just executives.
That's true at Amazon. It's true everywhere.
Workers deserve a voice in tech on the job.

What’s so frustrating about coverage of things like this is that it never links the blatant racism of Republican texts/comments to the blatant racism of Republican policy.
More important than saying the quiet part out loud, they are doing it.

Does anyone see irony in a chatbot measuring human friendliness?
Constant AI surveillance of forced “happiness” fuels stress and burnout.
Call centre workers have lived this. Their experience is proof that tech at work needs union bargaining.

50+ million workers in the US wanted a union and couldn’t get one. That’s the bad news.
The good news?
They’re not giving up and are making progress.

Amazon tried to bust a union. Workers made them pay.
Since workers started organizing with Unifor, Amazon has delayed, intimidated and discriminated. Workers just won a massive back pay lawsuit, and we're in solidarity as fight for a contract.

We aren't talking enough about the impact of smart glasses on workers. In shops, in care facilities, in banks and beyond, workers are being filmed against their will - and knowledge.
This invasion of privacy opens the door to additional harassment online.

Union win! 💪 Elanders’ U.S. subsidiary compensates a fired union organizer and steps up protections. Congratulations

Amazon laid off 16,000 workers — while facing MEPs over unsafe warehouses, surveillance and union-busting. Democracy isn’t a Zoom call from Seattle. If Amazon wants to operate in Europe, it must respect workers and unions. #MakeAmazonPay
A young Indian tech worker died under crushing work pressure. This isn’t an isolated tragedy.
Workers are breaking under the burden of deadlines. Too often, fear of job loss and blacklisting keeps them silent.

As the brutality of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown grows, so does the resistance of the US labour movement. ✊

Thank you.
UNI General Secretary Christy Hoffman is at #WEF26 in #Davos to demand that workers share in AI's gains.
“Wait and see” on AI isn't caution. It’s a choice to accept inequality.
At #WEF26 in #Davos, we’re warning that AI job losses and techno-authoritarian politics are on the rise.
The time to act is now!

Not only are the rich getting richer, they are getting more powerful.
We join @oxfaminternational.bsky.social in saying NO to the #RuleOfTheRich!
We'll be at #WEF26 warning of converging crises: AI-driven job displacement and rising techno-authoritarianism.
Governments and employers are unprepared, workers lack a voice and power is concentrating fast. “Wait and see” means letting inequality win.

#AI is threatening jobs.
#TechnoAuthoritarians are threatening our democracies.
At #WEF26, we demand that workers have a say in a global order facing disruption.

🚨We stand with Meta contractors on strike today at Covalen in Ireland
Workers are demanding union recognition with CWU Ireland, collective bargaining and better redundancy terms for hundreds of workers.

📈As the festive shopping season intensifies, retail workers face longer hours, understaffing and rising abuse at work.
This festive season, stand with retail workers. 💛🛒

We're looking forward to working more closely with the Universal Postal Union after signing a four-year cooperation agreement this month. It means postal workers worldwide will have a greater say in decisions that affect them.

The inspiration for the FIFA peace prize?
Many of the “only in podcasts” expressions noted by @thepressbox.bsky.social - like let me piggyback on that - are often heard in another place: meetings. Are podcasts just edited and uploaded meetings in which the listener has no stakes?
“The (x) of it all…”
As @caseynewton.bsky.social writes, "Crime pays" for Facebook.
If the platform doesn't want to be a pillar of the "global fraud economy," it needs professionalized fact checking and content moderation — and more of it.

🚨 Big win for workers in 🇦🇺! Unions won an ethical conduct clause blocking companies guilty of union-busting from public contracts.
A model for the world! #MakeAmazonPay
On #InternationalDayOfCareAndSupport, a new

🚨 8 in 10 care workers have faced or witnessed abuse.
✊ Safe staffing. Strong unions. Real protections are non-negotiable.
