We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Alarming to all here. Business as usual to those with their heads in the sand or worse...

The unlawful (based on statutory language) and discriminatory (based on her removal as the first black woman on the NLRB) removal of Gwynne Wilcox needs to be stopped. March 5 @ 10 am EST are oral arguments. The Board needs a quorum so workers' rights can be heard! #reinstatewilcox

I don't want to see a single corporation give a Women's History Month shout out if they caved to gutting Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives. Nope. Y'all can't talk outta both sides of your mouth. I shall take my money elsewhere.

Share w/impacted federal employees. Stay strong & know we stand with you. Despite what has been said the past few weeks, your jobs protecting Americans is not wasteful, nor has it been for naught. Indeed, the work has been necessary, which is a threat to this admin & why it chose destruction.

Former National Labor Relations Board member who was fired by Trump speaks out Gwynne Wilcox is suing the president, arguing that he had no legal cause to fire her.

Reinstate Member Wilcox now!!! #ReinstateWilcox #NLRB

What would have thwarted Nazi controlled Germany and the Holocaust?! Because THAT is what we need to be doing and preparing for. This is not even a slight overreaction.

Irish-American orator, William Bourke Cockran, once said: "There is enough for all. The earth is a generous mother; she will provide in plentiful abundance food for all her children if they will but cultivate her soil in justice and in peace."

Haha likewise!

Deferred resignation: what we know so far This evening, OPM sent an email to federal employees–apparently all or nearly all of them–offering “deferred resignation.” Like many of the administration’s initial pr…

We've published an analysis of the "deferred resignation" program here: federalworkerrights.com/2025/01/29/d...

As an in-house labor lawyer, it 100% is. Just wish the workers that voted for this administration knew that.

They kept Board Member Prouty, who is a Dem, but an older, white male. Member Wilcox was the FIRST black woman appointed to the NLRB. Seems more part of the racist agenda of the administration. Also cuts against 90 years of precedent.

Let your federal elected representatives know how you feel about Trump's order to pause federal grants at 5:00 today. I did!

It's not simply #45 Version 2.0, it's going to be "Hell Hath No Fury Like a White Man Who Doesn't Know How to Lose and Who Has Never Taken 'No' For An Answer."

These headlines are distractions for the awful things his Project 2025 Team is putting in play. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Nothing like leading a field staff Zoom call over very important changes to the labor and employment landscape due to the upcoming change in administration, as well as change in the NLRB composition, and having your son screaming from the bathroom, "MOM, I POOPED. COME WIPE MY BUTT!" 💩☠️

Sens. Kirsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) voted against McFerran, with Sinema casting a vote on the floor for the first time since Thanksgiving.

F'ing anti-worker cowards!

Call Your Senators ➡ Confirm NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran By Wednesday night, the Senate will vote on the confirmation of President Biden’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chair Lauren McFerran. If McFerran is confirmed, the NLRB will maintain a pro...

Urgent call to action to keep some form of employee protection!!!

act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Did you know that these rights apply to union AND non-unionized private employees?? Typically, most action is found under "mutual aid or protection" when ees ban together to vocalize concerns in working conditions. Being retaliated against for this is illegal.

Such rights are at risk for ALL!

Sec. 7 of NLRA: Employees shall have the right to...[organize], to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain...

"In the 1930s, workers...organize[d] militantly...a great wave of [national] strikes...and factory takeovers. Violent confrontations occurred between workers trying to form unions and the police...forces defending...anti-union employers."

The National Labor Relations Act was passed in July of 1935.

Ohio governor signs bill limiting bathroom use by transgender students A ban on transgender students from kindergarten through college using multiperson bathrooms that fit their gender identities has become law in Ohio.

What a coward signing out of the public eye. Take ownership of your hate @mikedewine.bsky.social.

If it were about "protecting our children" then making bathrooms available for ALL would "solve" the "concern," but this law specifically prohibits building such facilities. 🤔

#OhioStillEmbarassing

This week's takeaways:
1) Never resign from your current job when you weren't yet approved for the new job.
2) Folks are really stretching the whole "fake it til you make it" vibe.
3) Don't you EVER have imposter syndrome.
4) You can truly be whatever you want when you grow up...better or worse.

Feel indignant. Take time to process, focus elsewhere, and disconnect; but don't stay there. It is not the time for resignation. Get rest because we're going to need to roll up our sleeves and get rowdy. Fight like these generations have only heard about. We'll teach them our rights and won't waver.
