Senator Mehreen Faruqi, deputy leader of the Australian Greens and spokesperson for higher education spoke out against the latest #Dutton #LNP electioneering fluff (you cannot call brainfarts a policy) and managed to shame #Labor ‘s inaction on #SocialHousing for good measure:

“The facts are clear, we’ve seen the evidence: international students are not the cause of skyrocketing rents or unaffordable housing. That responsibility lies squarely with successive governments who have refused to build enough public housing and prioritised lining the pockets of wealthy property investors.”

“What we saw during COVID-19, which we still see at this moment, is a radicalization of this workforce — they have to fight not only for the public, but really to protect their very lives,” said Michelle Mahon, director of nursing practice for National Nurses United.

Okay, I finally did it, I started a Labor & Unions starter pack. I'm sure it's incomplete, so help me out, tell me who I'm missing!

"Union leaders have pointed to the importance of building worker power in response to division attempts. 'When they come after one group, they come for us all,' said Association of Flight Attendants International President Sara Nelson at a rally for Delta Air Lines workers in January. 'Nothing on this Earth turns without us. If we understand our power in this moment and we organize together and have each other’s backs, we can take action. Strike action, organized action, moral action.'

In an interview with Bob Hennelly, Nelson said that after the elimination of collective bargaining rights for Transportation Security Administration workers by the Department of Homeland Security, workers have 'very few options but to join together to organize a general strike.'

On March 27, President Trump signed an executive order to end collective bargaining for many federal employees, which Minnesota AFL-CIO president Bernie Burnham has called 'unprecedented union busting.'

The Minnesota AFL-CIO also released a statement on January 26 in support of immigrant workers. 'Trump and his billionaire friends are counting on workers to turn on one another while they cut their own taxes, gut worker safety standards, roll back union rights, and more,' the statement reads. 'Every worker should remember that an immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a better life – a billionaire does.'

Workers have a long and storied history of resisting attempts to pit them against each other. We found examples specific to Minnesota’s labor movement, which has a militant legacy that can be learned from today. Workers organized and mobilized to take defensive and offensive measures against various forces—hate groups, corporations, and corporate-backed elected officials—that sought to violently divide their communities and hoard resources."

#labor #SanFrancisco #StephenCurry #Dogpatch

"Less than a month after announcing it was ready to build a new office building in San Francisco, Thirty Ink — a collection of Stephen Curry’s eight businesses and 13 entities — said the project is canceled because of a dispute with a local carpenter’s union.

(. . .)

Sam Singer, a spokesperson for the union, said Achill Beg Constructon, the general contractor chosen by Thirty Ink, has a 'less than reputable' reputation and a long history of trying to undercut union labor.

'This should be a union carpenter project,' Singer said. 'I don’t believe there’s a single person in San Francisco, Oakland, or Bay Area who doesn’t look up to, admire, and respect Stephen Curry. We hope that he shows that same respect back and uses union labor to build a wonderful monument for his future endeavors.'

James Gallagher, CEO of Achill Beg Construction, did not respond to requests for comment."

Something’s not adding up

The report is: US employers added 228k jobs in March. About 2X the number added in Feb. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1% in Feb, as 232k people joined or rejoined the workforce.

But the report also says: Feb–March, #ElonMusk’s #DOGE signaled cuts of >280k #FederalWorkers & contractors in 27 agencies, acc/to a count kept by the outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
