Common Dreams · Unions Cheer After Judge Halts Trump Order on Federal Workers' Collective Bargaining Rights | Common DreamsLabor unions representing federal workers celebrated after a U.S. district judge blocked President Donald Trump's March executive order intended to strip the collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of government employees.

#MayDay event in #PortlandMaine!

May Day
#NationalDayOfAction
#StopTheBillionaireTakeover

Thursday, May 1
3:30 - 6pm EDT

USM Portland Campus | Green Space in front of McGoldrick Center for Career & Student Success
35 Bedford St.
Portland, ME 04101

Organized Locally by the Maine May Day Committee.

@Todd : "We’ll begin at 3:30 on the Portland campus of the University of Southern Maine to speak out against Trump’s threat to our public universities. And, we’ll march on the boss to demand the UMaine system bargain in good faith and sign a union contract with graduate student workers represented by the United Auto Workers. The two go hand in hand.

Next, we’ll march to the Post Office on Forest Ave to oppose Trump’s threats to privatize it and hear from workers threatened with mass layoffs. Then up past Portland High School and the Portland Public Library in solidarity with educators and students opposed to Trump’s destruction of the Department of Education and his attacks on LGTBQ+ and immigrant students. Finally we’ll march up Congress Street during rush hour to the Portland Museum of Art to support funding for the arts and hold a final community rally starting around 5:00 pm. We’ll have a program of speaking out against Trump’s attack and offering ideas about how to deepen solidarity between all the different parts of our movement for democracy and justice.

We need your help. Please attend the march if you are able. It’s a big state, so if you can’t get to Portland, please support or organize another action in your town or region hosted by the Maine Education Association and the Maine AFL-CIO or any other community group that steps up to stand up. Strength in solidarity."

Amazon Labor Union Defends Immigrant Workers

from #WorldOutlook
March 12, 2025

"The following is a statement by the #AmazonLaborUnion – International Brotherhood of Teamsters (#ALU-IBT) Local 1 defending immigrant workers from government and employer attacks. The #ALU represents #Amazon workers at the company’s giant JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

The #ALU statement sets a good example of how the labor movement needs to treat immigrant workers: as fellow workers, as brothers and sisters.

This question has become urgent as the Trump administration has escalated raids, arrests, and deportations of immigrants under the guise of expelling “foreign criminals” from the United States. "

#NorthCarolina Amazon Workers Lose Union Vote

“The election results today are a result of Amazon’s willingness to break the law and use its enormous wealth to try and break our movement,” said a statement by the #CAUSE leadership following the vote. “We will continue organizing. This is only the beginning.”

“In the weeks leading up to the vote #Amazon threw its full weight and power into its union-busting arsenal of intimidation and lies,” Mary Hill, known affectionately by many workers as Ma Mary, told World-Outlook in a phone interview. Hill is a co-founder and vice president of CAUSE. “Amazon flew in union busters from all over the country, at least 30 of them. They were all over the place, like roaches. They get paid $3,000/day plus expenses.”

World-Outlook · North Carolina Amazon Workers Lose Union VoteIn a lopsided loss, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment (CAUSE) failed to secure a majority in a union vote held February 10-15 in Garner, North Carolina. The vote was 2,447 against to 829 for joining the union. About 76% of the approximately 4,300 workers eligible to vote cast ballots. Based on an interview with CAUSE co-founder and vice president Mary Hill, this article explores the reasons for this setback and what comes next.
