Corporations are getting tariff refunds. Americans? Not so much. People who ended up shouldering higher prices thanks Trump-imposed fees likely won’t see the cash anytime soon.

Trump's Viral "DoorDash Grandma" Stunt Isn’t What It Seems

We talk Trump's awkward "DoorDash Grandma" stunt, the misleading claims about tips, how gig workers’ real struggles were ignored, and how this viral moment says more about politics than it does about working people.

We filed suit against the Trump administration (again) today to block the implementation of an unlawful executive order that seeks to undermine inclusion & equal opportunity, threatens government contractors w/ criminal prosecution, & chills protected speech.

Maybe we don’t call it a ‘singer’ if it doesn’t have vocal cords.Making a synthesizer reproduce violin sounds does not make it a violin.

I would reframe this. Instead of seeing arguments over, for example, attacks on trans people as a distraction from the real issue, I would say that attacking marginalised people is inherent to how this ruling class reproduces its power.

Let’s never forget our fallen heroes. (This is from Today in Labour History, which appears every day on LabourStart’s home page.)

'Unions of Our Own': In Conversation with Daniel Gross As you may have noticed, it’s been awhile since my last episode, and I am very stoked to be back behind the mic bringing you more conversations from the labor movement and beyond. On the show this week is Daniel Gross to talk about his forthcoming book, Unions of Our Own: 8 Building Blocks to Change Work and the World. The book provides a “radical, step-by-step framework for workers who want to fight for the better workplaces they’ve always envisioned—and dream of bigger changes too. Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, said in his praise of the book, “Finally, Daniel has brought us Unions of Our Own, an immensely practical and accessible guide for building workers’ power. Daniel’s vast experience organizing with workers comes through in every page of a book that is sure to become an instant classic in an era of increasingly chaotic politics and economics. If your workplace lacks a union, this is the book to read with your fellow workers. If you are already a union member: read this book to expand your ranks and build more power from the bottom up." Daniel is a veteran labor organizer and cofounder of the IWW Starbucks Workers Union, former labor lawyer and co-author of the classic Labor Law for the Rank and Filer: Building Solidarity While Staying Clear of the Law.
