From Hitler’s Industrialists to Trump’s Tech Bros: The Case for Democracy at Work The alignment of America’s tech billionaires with authoritarian politics echoes 1930s industrial collaboration — but Germany and Spain offer a democratic remedy.

Statement on Ford Plant Visit from VP Laura Dickerson, Ford Department Director

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

We’ve not used #Xitter for over a year, and last week closed our accounts completely.
It’s a cess pit and anyone who is still there should be ashamed of themselves.
Get off now before your moral compass is completely rusted away.

‘Why is it always workers and communities that have to pay?’ ENERGY giants will be taxed less as a New Year’s Day fuel price cap increase hits young families and disabled people the hardest during a cold snap, campaigners have warned.Average bills will rise despite falling wholesale prices, while a swathe of cold health alerts is in force across Britain.Today’s 0.2 per cent increase to Ofgem’s energy price cap will equate to a rise of about 28p a month for the average household in England, Wales and Scotland remaining on a standard variable tariff.

Heating and electricity bills will rise again this winter while energy companies continue to rake in obscene profits.

Why is it always workers and communities that have to pay? These are the wrong choices when there is an overwhelming case for owning energy ourselves.

Together we are delivering change, putting Unite back where it belongs: in the workplace. Fighting for workers, jobs, pay & conditions.

Economic Resilience: Studies show that cooperatives are more resilient in times of crisis — such as the 2008 financial crash and during COVID-19 — because worker-owners prioritise job security and community sustainability over short-term profit.

Protection Against Exploitation: When workers are both owners and union members, they can guarantee fair pay, safe conditions, and decent work standards — countering the race to the bottom driven by corporate profit-seeking.
