US Labor Unions & Friends Join the conversation

I've created a Labor starter pack - 145+ labor unions, journalists, activists, academics & more: go.bsky.app/3Q89ghD

Since @kombiz.bsky.social was kind enough to include me in a labor starter pack, I thought I should repost it because it has a lot of good people in it. go.bsky.app/Qg7QN8J

Worker rights are essential for a prosperous nation- now, more than ever. I built this starter pack of labor feeds that I follow to keep up on labor issues, struggles, and victories and organizing trends. #Labor #Unionism #WorkerRights #Solidarity

bsky.app/starter-pack...

A good bunch of Unions and other associated Labor orgs/unionists have joined in the last day or so. Been able to add more to the American Labor Starter Pack I've got going.

Another nudge to ease the exodus from Twitter/X:
A starter pack of interdisciplinary voices on Bluesky exploring the intersection between employment relations and labor inequalities.
Feel free to suggest more people to add to the list!

And two particularly exciting new additions to my Worker Power starter pack — @rkgwork.bsky.social and @leoecasey.bsky.social. I'm updating these starter packs regularly, but if you already followed the rest do make sure you give Rebecca and Leo a follow go.bsky.app/VNzMm8X

Next, the people on the ground: Union locals, independent unions, and central labor councils. Same story - if your account isn't included but should be, HMU #1u #unions #solidarity go.bsky.app/V1BfE8p

Two new #labor starter packs. First up: National Unions and State Feds. More on here already than I expected, but not enough. If your national union or state fed is on Bluesky but not on this pack, holler at me: go.bsky.app/2cD3SSo
