More Perfect Union | CNBC's Jim Cramer raises alarm over United Auto Workers' President Shawn Fain: "I find him frightening." He thinks Fain and the UAW are going too far. "The notion that shareholders are fat cats... that's class warfare. And it's very shocking to hear class warfare."

New article: Is Dropshipping Indie Selling? (No.)

There has been a recent influx of social media accounts made to advertise The Wonders Of Dropshipping on any post mentioning ecommerce. Many of these seem to be bots, but a real person must be behind them -- so our very own Alex R. of @handmadehazefromtheheart decided to write up an article responding to the idea that these ecommerce "guru" types overlap with our member base of online indie sellers.

Excerpt:

To a consumer, the process of buying from big name versus indie online storefronts is the same: see the pictures, read the description, click “purchase,” and wait for a package. That standard makes it pretty easy for another kind of online seller to present you with a product on an original-looking webpage, accept your money in exchange for the promise of shipment — and then turn around and give (some of) that money to an actual supplier that sends you your purchase. [...] Ultimately, the Indie Sellers Guild seeks to be an online extension of the labor movement. In capitalism, things are often divided into a working class and an owning class, and we’re here for the working class. [...] [D]ropshipping is a way to claw at the benefits of being part of the owning class: gaining profit for nothing more than inserting yourself into a transaction that doesn’t need you to operate fairly. We don’t condone that, and we don’t represent that.

View it in full here.

For some insightful thoughts on print-on-demand selling -- something that we don't all agree falls under "dropshipping" but does overlap -- you'll find a link inside to another article by Valerie of Artisans Cooperative.

Today is Larry Itliong Day! Itliong was a Filipino-American labor organizer who is remembered as one of the “fathers of the West Coast labor movement.”

Itliong is best known for co-founding the United Farm Workers Union with fellow activist Cesar Chavez in 1967. He was also key in launching the 1965–1966 grape strike and boycott in California, which led to increased workers’ pay and protections.

We honor Larry Itliong and all who have tirelessly fought for the rights of farm workers, immigrants, and Asian Americans.

Landless Rural Workers and Indigenous peoples take joint action in reforestation activity in Brazil

The activity, part of the Landless Rural Workers' Nature Day, was joined by Minister Sônia Guajajara

In a joint action, the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST, in Portuguese), Kaingang and Guarani Mbya Indigenous peoples airdropped three tons of juçara and araucaria palm seeds. The activity in Rio das Cobras Indigenous Land in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, is part of MST's Nature Day.  

The event held on Tuesday (4) was attended by the Minister for Indigenous Peoples, Sonia Guajajara; the head of the Presidency's General Secretariat, Márcio Macêdo; and the interim Minister for Agrarian Development, Fernanda Machiaveli.  

Indigenous leaders from different regions of the state came to personally hand over their demands to federal government representatives. This is the first time Sonia Guajajara has visited an Indigenous land in Paraná as minister.

In a document drawn up after a meeting of Indigenous leaders the previous night, they demand the demarcation of lands, public policies to promote agriculture, policies for access to housing and improvements in Indigenous health and education.

TRADER JOE'S IS A UNION BUSTING PIECE OF SHIT

Below is information regarding a legal case that Trader Joes is bringing against the National Labor Relations Board, AKA the federal agency that protects workers rights to organize, vote to become a union, and also prevent and remedy unfair labor practices in the private sector from employers and unions.

They are claiming that the NLRB is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

They, along with SPACEX, AMAZON, and STARBUCKS are ALL bringing individual suits against them.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SIGN THEIR PETITIONS! JOIN THEIR BOYCOTT! SEND LETTERS! DEMAND JUSTICE!

ite honestly, it makes no sense for anyone communist to label a movement that's fighting for workers' rights as just a "moral panic." As long as it doesn't steer into harassment of others, why shouldn't we at least try not to support business practices we find unethical whenever possible? Just because there is No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism doesn't mean we should just consume mindlessly without regard for fellow workers whose labour is being exploited either, regardless of whatever new tools are being used by bourgeoisie businessmen to keep the proletariat down this month.

I honestly cannot waste my time on this ask because you live in an alternate universe. None of what you said is true like at all, like PLEASE go back to bizarro world and leave me and Miku alone.

Why won't the studios just make a deal with the writers and actors already? We know they can afford it.

glorious 25th makes me think again about that one idea i once had for a discworld spinoff set in the future that would deal with the natural conclusion to the industrial revolution arc: communism comes to discworld

The solidarity movement between American labor and international activists is nothing new. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) boycotted Nazi goods in 1933 and the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. In 1984, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10 stood up against apartheid in South Africa and refused to unload South African goods for eleven days. In 2023, as the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza began in earnest, the former head of ILWU Local 10, Larry Wright, said, “It’s really important that the unions come out and oppose this terrible violence on the Palestinians.”

...Mancilla clarified why the UAW in particular would care about this international issue: “Our union has a long history of being very vocal against human rights abuses and wars and foreign conflicts. And the reason why is because we are directly implicated. And then our taxpayer money pays for political backing and weapons and military sources that a lot of states that infringe upon human rights commit.”

...Similarly, Parul Koul, the president of the Alphabet Workers Union, observed that, after months of watching videos and seeing photos of IDF killings in Gaza, Americans seem to be slowly re-learning the importance of international solidarity. “In the United States, we’re often fed this narrative that what’s happening abroad isn’t really related to us,” Koul, who helped organize tech workers at Google, tells The Progressive. “But over the last nine months, people have just had so much education about how the United States’ political machinery is funding the genocide and in doing that, neglecting people’s needs here at home.”

if ur into labor unions, i highly recommend looking into the utter shitshow of trader joes unions (traderjoesunited on insta has A Lot of info!) xoxo, a trader joes employee

(also dont get me started on the union square wine store) (tldr of that is that they wanted to unionize and were starting to gather supporters at work and then the entire wine store, only tjs in all of ny that sold wine bc of state law & very busy / had high sales, shut down with like 2 weeks notice to crew members that they were closing. management claimed it was bc rent was too high but crew has been/is still convinced it was bc of them starting to unionize based on….. everything else tjs corporate had done)

I know you sent this a while ago but WOOOOOF.

As a former Starbucks partner who's been following Starbucks Workers' United for as long as they began murmurs of existence, I am proud to stand with you in "Gaslit Employees Of Companies That Used To Be Progressive In Like 2008 But Then Instead Of Progressing Further They Spent All Their Resources Maintaining A Facade Of Progressiveness While Getting Progressively More Terrible Behind The Scenes" solidarity.

Some of the best people I've ever known were my colleagues at Starbucks--in fact, my favorite former manager (who got unfairly terminated because of course she did) was also a former Trader Joe's employee and she saw the best and the worst of both companies.

I wish you and your colleagues the very best. I am with you 1000%.

Trader Joe’s management has continued its intense union-busting tactics at every store that's filed for a union election and refuses to bargain in good faith with its workers. Meanwhile, Trader Joe’s crew members at stores across the country are unionizing to fight for the pay, benefits, and safe working conditions that match Trader Joe’s “progressive” image.

As Trader Joe’s management doubles down on union-busting ― we need to double down on our people power. One of the best ways to do this is when folks like you, Trader Joe’s customers, use the power of the purse to show Trader Joe’s you won’t shop there until it becomes a workplace that actually reflects the values they claim to have.

We haven’t asked customers to boycott Trader Joe’s, but as their union-busting attempts increase, we need to know how many customers will stand with us in the fight for a fair contract.

We’re asking folks to support Trader Joe’s United by signing on in solidarity and letting us know you’ll stand with us if we call for a customer strike! >>
