We hosted another Working People live show on Feb. 22 in New York City, in collaboration with the Action Builder / Action Network team and The People’s Forum. In this panel discussion, introduced by Amazon Labor Union president Chris Smalls, Max speaks with worker-organizers from around the country about why they and their coworkers decided not to quit their jobs but to commit to improving their workplaces, what the day-to-day work of organizing looks like, and how you—yes, you—can get involved and help grow the labor movement. Panelists include: Vince Quiles of Home Depot Workers United in Philadelphia; Tafadar Sourov of Laborers Local 79 in NYC; Sarah Beth Ryther of Trader Joe’s United in Minneapolis; and Riley Fell of Starbucks Workers United in Baltimore.

It always gives me such joy to see people stand up for each other and for themselves in a toxic environment. There is no environment more toxic than the labor market.
Pail. Male. stale..fuck you tafadar or what ever name is .. ur a racist piece of shit. I hope your goofy union folds
The guy with the mask says one thing to me. And that is that he is someone who can be captured. And will sell out all his well meaning beliefs. I would not take a stage with until he removes his face diaper.
Why the mask Max? 😳
Get Vince to take his shirt off and I guarantee a couple stacks get dropped immediately
Love Chris Smalls and his message! ORGANIZE THE WORKERS, ALL THAT CAN BE UNTIED!
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
ethernal Althea & Donna
we need to free the world from the western people grinder
real UNIONS are not just a workplace thing. Please teach americans what REAL union centrals are, such as CGT in France and CUT in Brasil. I hope you achieve to create a democratic state in the US at some point!
great logo motion graphic. damn.
This action is expected because the inevitable future is so different, people just don't want to face it.
I hate to pop your bubble but humanity no longer qualifies to compete in the field of careers and the job labor force. The corporate ladder is gone.
What humanity needs to be worried about is what the powers that be, plan to do with them.
They are so fixated on what used to be, they can't see the 4th industrial revolution evolving or see what it's going to do to the game of life.
Man has made a superior man with no soul to replace himself and can't see how great it is for himself.
So as always the powers that be, crashed the banks that funded it, and as usual they will use AI to enrich themselves. Humanity will end up at the mercy of the ruling classes merciless machine.
They will have to be totally government funded until greed sets in and funding useless humans, demands a reduction of as many as AI decides.
No union can stop this upcoming financial progress. What could become an unbelievable paradise for mankind, having accomplished this technology, will be overlooked by man's natural nature of greed and selfishness, causing him to take the road toward abuse and pit the machines against each other and the potential paradise at our finger tips,,, will give way to paranoia and the self-preservation of the few that gave their power over to the spider of the global web.
I wonder if this end wasn't always environmental too. 😢
Who really wants life, Liberty and the freedom to be happy… for everyone!!!? Not enough to matter.
I predicted 3to5 yrs. for people to wake up and see what we have done and what we should have done. 😢😢
Labor went from Eugene Debs to a gangbanger. Science isn't democratic. I say that in regards to modern Psychiatry and the Council for Evidence Based Psychiatry. Also in regards to the Coronavirus masks.
Call me a grammar Nazi if you want. The American Psychiatric Association didn't have as much power back in the FDR days, and the middle class have never dressed like gangbangers.
Construction is mobb money

Between Walmart and Walmart they've done so much damage it should be out of the question forgive them.
Just like Wall Street does you need to text them and penalize them to death and tear them up and devour them like a Minotaur.
Use them as the catalyst to keep us one undivided America.

At 50+ years old, I've worked under a union.
I paid lots of money to have someone else speak for me. It's a scam. It has been. We don't have the "inhumane" conditions they had back when the union started. And it wasn't for all business. The same money hungry ppl who run it now, ran it then. Don't fall for it, no matter how shiny it sounds.

It is better to invest now.. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest.. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age,

#UnionStrong. Shut it down

America needs to unionize! Have you been treated like crap enough? Lost wages, benefits, respect. Unions are the product of corporate greed and bad management
BIG MISTAKE .
Wearing a fucking mask tells me one thing !! IMPOSTER and use them slogans , game up
More like " How to lose your jobs" the reason they don't the border closed is so the government can provide work Visas and will live off the government while taking your jobs legally for alot less money and this will last at least 3 or 4 years a piece for each one .
Well said!
Unions ruin good workers
They want unions move the business somewhere else
Not that I don't agree with some the things your talking about. But the AI is the answer to any of us.
Them union ain’t going to protect you . Just check out my story where a convicted felon can use the union to help deny a fair arbitration hearing.
✓ First, the Con Edison has failed to prove that Butler’s non-criminal consumption of a legal substance rose to the level of abuse or that Butler’s consumption of alcohol adversely affected his job performance or the public’s trust (whatever that is). Moreover, the only consequence of off-duty chemical substance abuse is that the employee will be sent for a JFE. Here, Butler was sent for a JFE on December 16, 2014 tested negative for drugs and alcohol.
✓ On December 13, 2014, Butler was purported observed by Officer Brito moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat a couple of hundred yards from the DWI checkpoint. Officer Brito did not testify that Butler was driving erratically or displayed other indicia of someone that was driving while impaired. The Union concedes that Officer Brito’s assumption that Butler’s actions were to avoid being identified as either a driver who had been drinking or a driver who might not have had a valid license is reasonable. It is also reasonable for Officer Brito to assume that if he could see Butler then Butler could see him. That assumption is not reasonable.
Â
✓ Officer Brito also demonstrated his expertise and training in many facets of alcohol and drug testing but the only verified test result was the breathalyzer results. This is important because clearly Brito had an animus against Butler. Brito testified that Butler was quietly being difficult and when Brito was asked why he issued Butler a summons for refusing to test AFTER he submitted to a breathalyzer test Brito testified that Butler was walking out of the police station with a summons regardless. Butler was issued a summons that was so patently meritless that the Westchester District Attorney’s office did not even submit opposition to Butler’s motion to dismiss. (Union Exhibit “2“)
Â
✓ The Union submits that Brito’s testimony is troubling. A police officer charged with upholding the law and who described himself as an expert in the observation of behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol and who is also charged with knowledge of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law issued a summons that (based on his expertise) he had to know was invalid Brito practically admitted that since Butler gave him a hard time and wasted his time that night (because he did not engage in criminal conduct), he was going to give Butler a hard time. That hard time translated into the issuance of an invalid summons that forced Butler to retain counsel and utterly wasted the time of the Court that dismissed the summons that the Westchester County determined unworthy of opposition.
