Today, letter carriers sent a clear, direct message: #HellNo to dismantling the Postal Service! Hundreds of NALC members, labor leaders and supporters united to protect the vital service we provide to communities and businesses nationwide. The fight continues! #fightlikehell youtu.be/h4Yc-h0Fxo0?...

ACTION NEEDED ⬇️ Call Speaker Mike Johnson now and tell him HELL NO to dismantling the Postal Service. #FightLikeHell

Solidarity with @apwu.bsky.social and #NALC facing Trump's potential "outrageous, unlawful attack" on the US Postal Service. We stand with you as you #FightLikeHell for quality postal jobs and services - and against privatization of the USPS. apwu.org/news/stateme...

NEW: According to the OECD, 2 in 3 employers worry about fairness and workers’ mental health under algorithmic management. Let’s turn that worry into ACTION. Collective bargaining on tech = fairer outcomes + safer work. www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Unions are ready to #FightLikeHell against Trump’s threats to privatize the U.S. Postal Service. The 🇺🇸 USPS - a popular and trusted federal agency - provides absolutely vital services for communities and good jobs for 640,000 workers. uniglobalunion.org/news/unions-... @apwu.bsky.social

Insightful read on the effects of the tech industry's outsourcing of digital labour: "AI is not magic. Behind every algorithm are thousands of hidden workers labelling, training and moderating data under precarious conditions."

An important - and powerful read - about the toll #AI and Big Tech have on the army of workers behind the algorithms. Read Sonia Kgomo's story of being a Facebook content moderator and why she is organizing with #AfricanTechWorkersRising. #AIActionSummit www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If we don't act now, we risk turning AI into another "engine of inequality," UNI's Christy Hoffman says in the NYT. We need collective bargaining over #AI at work, and we need strong unions to make sure workers' jobs, rights and health are protected. #AIActionSummit www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/b...

✊ Yesterday ETF joined trade unions outside the EU Commission to stop the corporate push to cancel legislation holding them accountable to the rights of working people.

"There is no AI in for the public good if workers are excluded." UNI's Christy Hoffman will be at the #AIActionSummit to say that unions must be part of an AI transition. We know how to make sure technology's benefits are shared by all, not horded by billionaires.

It's not SkyNet nuking humanity, but the idea of companies saturating social media with even more lifeless, #AI generated jargon is soul-crushing. Maybe we're biased, but tech should augment jobs like social media manager, not replace them. www.404media.co/linkedin-ai-...

Attacks on democracy often come with attacks on unions. @judith-levine.bsky.social highlights the antifascist trade union manifesto, signed by @uni-europa.bsky.social, as needed resistance - not just for labour but for social justice, human rights & democracy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
