Worker Wins: Our Workers Help Move America
Our latest roundup of worker wins includes numerous examples of working people organizing, bargaining and mobilizing for a better life.
IBEW Reaches Tentative Agreement with CSX, Norfolk Southern: The Electrical Workers (IBEW) announced that the union had reached a new five-year tentative agreement (TA) on Tuesday with rail-based freight transportation company CSX and Norfolk Southern, one of the countryâs largest freight railroad operators. The TA covers approximately 4,000 workers and is subject to a ratification vote by membership. Highlights include an 18.77% compound wage increase over the lifetime of the deal, improvements to vacation benefits, and a new option for workers to carry over a certain amount of unused paid sick days. âThis new agreement is a historic step forward for rail workers across the nation, and Iâm proud of the efforts of IBEW railroad members in helping secure a fair deal,â said IBEW International President Kenneth Cooper. âOur workers help move America, and this agreement recognizes the value they bring to the rail industry.âAustin Journalists to Vote on New Contract After 21-Hour Mediation with Gannett: After multiple years of bargaining and a final 21-hour marathon session, members of the Austin NewsGuild who work for the Austin American-Statesman in Texas have finally reached a TA with parent company Gannett. The unit is part of The NewsGuild-CWA and includes journalists and other newsroom staff who won their union election in February 2021. Members overcame Gannettâs union-busting and delay tactics and are now celebrating a major milestone in their organizing efforts. The deal includes improved minimum salaries, general wage increases, frozen health insurance premiums, job protections and more. âWe are thrilled to be able to turn the page on this part of our Guild history,â said Nicole Villalpando, chair of the Austin NewsGuild. âOur members worked incredibly hard to make this happen. We went without raises, picketed, social media shamed the company, went on strike with 100% participation twice, and phone zapped the CEO to make this happen.âMachinists Members Vote to Accept Latest Textron Aviation Contract Proposal: Members of Machinists (IAM) Local 774 voted to ratify a new five-year agreement on Sunday with Textron Aviation, successfully ending a monthlong strike. The agreement covers nearly 5,000 members across three campuses in Wichita, Kansas, and secures victories in major areas of concern for workers. Highlights of the deal include a 31% overall increase in wages throughout the lifetime of the contract, new insurance premium increase caps at 3%, longevity bonuses and much more. âOur skilled members in Wichita know what it takes to make Textron Aviation products just like they know how to stick together for whatâs right,â said IAM International President Brian Bryant. âThe dedication it takes to stand up with your Brothers and Sisters to fight for what you deserve is admirable, and the entire IAM is beyond proud of Local 774.â âOur members know what matters to them and used their voices as the essential tool to gain more,â said IAM Southern Territory General Vice President Craig Martin. âTextron Aviation is a powerhouse in todayâs market and needed to offer more. I am proud of our members in Wichitaâthey stood strong and won for their families and communities.ââDrunk Shakespeareâ Cast and Crew Ratify First Contract: Actorsâ Equity Association (Equity) and Brass Jar Productions have ratified the first union contract covering actors, stage managers, servers, bartenders and bar managers who are part of the popular show âDrunk Shakespeareâ and its seasonal companion production âDrunk Dracula.â In âDrunk Shakespeareâ performances, one of five actors has five shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play. The new agreement establishes important practices around workplace safety, job definitions, terms of employment and job security so performers and crew can continue to entertain audiences around the country. Drunk Shakespeare United members will now accrue health benefits, vacation and sick leaveâwith many workers seeing wage increases and better income stability. âHuzzah! Seeing Drunk Shakespeare United ratify their first union contract is thrilling!â said Equity President Brooke Shields. âThe spirit of collaboration our members brought to the table was met in kind by their employer, and while the process wasnât always easy, it was definitely worthwhile.âOmni Hotel Workers in Boston Ratify Historic New Contract: UNITE HERE Local 26 members unanimously voted to ratify a new contract on Sunday after months of negotiations and about a week with nearly 700 workers on strike at Omni Hotels in Boston. Members who work at the Omni Boston Seaport and Omni Parker House hotels began an open-ended strike last week to secure fair wages, better benefits and improved job security. And now, hospitality workers are celebrating a historic deal that includes $10-an-hour wage increases over the lifetime of the contract and more. This victory comes as thousands of other UNITE HERE members continue fighting for the same goals across several major cities. âFor me, the most important aspect of this new contract is that everyone will get meaningful raises,â said James âSmittyâ Smith, a banquet server at the Omni Parker House, in a UNITE HERE press release. âIâm glad that Omni came to the table in good faith, and we finally reached an agreement. But weâre not done until weâre all done, in Boston and everywhere else.âMontana Cannabis Workers Make History by Joining UFCW: Cannabis workers at two Honey Sour dispensaries in uptown and downtown Butte, Montana, late last month voted to join United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1889. This election victory marks the first time Montana cannabis workers have successfully organized since the legalization of cannabis in the state three years ago. Staff initially reached out to the union with concerns about workplace safety issuesâincluding mold and lack of running waterâjob security, customer well-being and more. Now members are looking forward to bargaining with Honey Sour to secure the fair working conditions that reflect their dedication and expertise. âI am incredibly proud to announce this historic achievement for us cannabis workers in Montana,â said Milo Vukovich, a Honey Sour dispensary worker. âThrough todayâs victory, we hope that we can pave the way for all cannabis workers in the state to receive the representation and benefits they deserve. This milestone shows just how powerful we are when we stand together, regardless of the industry.âUnited Health Professionals of New Mexico Members Ratify Contract: Members of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) affiliate, United Health Professionals of New Mexico (UHPNM), ratified a contract Sunday with the University of New Mexico Sandoval Regional Medical Center (UNM SRMC). The union includes nurses and other health professionals who work at UNM SRMC and have been fighting for better working conditions and improved patient safety. Highlights of the agreement include wins like wage increases, job protections, the establishment of a labor-management committee that will look into safe staffing ratios and other ways to improve patient healing conditions, and more. âThis contract represents basic respect for hospital professionals who work tirelessly for their patients,â said AFT President Randi Weingarten. âIt shouldnât have been so hard to get to this place, and the workersâ tenacity and the publicâs support for their current or future caregivers moved the needle and resulted in this contract. We need hospitals to work collaboratively with their front-line workers and respect their input. When that happens, workers and patients are better off.âAsheville, North Carolina, Nurses Reach New Contract Agreement: This week, National Nurses United (NNU)ârepresented registered nurses (RNs) at Mission Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, voted to ratify a new three-year contract, winning measures to improve patient safety and nurse retention. This victory comes just over a month after RNs voted to authorize a strike against the HCA facility. Highlights of the new contract include substantial wage increases that will improve nurse recruitment and retention, a new program that will enhance staffing practices to ensure that nurses can take their meal and rest breaks during their shifts, new measures that will ensure nurses are âfloatedâ (temporarily reassigned) to units similar to their normal specialty and more. âWe are excited to have this new contract and ensure that our hospital is on a path to taking the best possible care of our patients and community,â said Huns Brown, an RN working in Mission Hospitalâs pulmonary progressive care unit. âThe devastation Hurricane Helene brought to our region underscores how Mission being the best possible version of itself is more important than ever.â

A Huge Groundswell: The Working People Weekly List
A Huge Groundswell: The Working People Weekly List
Every week, we bring you a roundup of the top news and commentary about issues and events important to working families. Hereâs the latest edition of the Working People Weekly List.
J.D. Vance Is A âScabâ For Crossing Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Picket Line: Union: âVice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (Ohio) crossed a virtual picket line by publishing an opinion piece in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday, according to the union whose workers are on strike at the newspaper. Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild-CWA, told HuffPost that there was no excuse for Vance, the running mate of former President Donald Trump, not to be aware of the strike that just entered its third year.âHow Trump Could Bankrupt Social Security: âItâs important to be aware that one effect of Donald Trumpâs economic proposals, if enacted, could be to drive Social Security into bankruptcy, impoverishing many older Americansânot in the distant future, but within around six years. And while I have in the past assumed that Social Security will be bailed out if necessary, that looks less certain in the antidemocratic nation we may become if Trump wins.âWhy Gender May Be the Defining Issue of the Election: ââWeâre all protecting our hearts right now, having been through this before,â said Liz Shuler, the first woman elected to lead the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the country. âWeâve come further, even since 2020, with women leading in ways weâve never seen before. To not be able to cross that ultimate threshold of the highest position of power in the world would be a sucker punch.â Her union federation, one of the Democratsâ most powerful backers, is tracking a 32-point difference in support for Ms. Harris over Mr. Trump among its female members in internal surveys.âModern-Day Rosie the Riveters Are Backing Kamala Harris: âAs Liz Shuler, the first woman president of the AFL-CIO, told The 19th, the strides women and people of color are making in the trades are at risk. âWeâve seen the patterns of the Trump administration,â she said. âEven just the rhetoric of DEI hires being negative, when in fact, weâre making progress, and weâre starting to elevate the awareness and the commitment of these companies to hire more women.â A lot of initiatives aimed at making the workplace more inclusive and welcoming to women are voluntary, and not mandated. âWe donât want to actually give [these companies] ammunition to start getting rid of these programs,â she said.âTrump is Anti-Worker. Here Are 10 of His Most Shocking Anti-Worker Statements: âMany people failed to realize that Donald Trump has a long, ugly history of making anti-worker and anti-union statements. He has at times insulted workers, saying their wages are too high, saying their work is so easy that a child can do it. The former U.S. president has also sought to sabotage labor by saying union members shouldnât pay their dues and successful union leaders should be fired. Trump has also sought to trick workers by making wonderful-sounding promises that he couldnât possibly make good on. Below are Trumpâs 10 most shocking anti-worker and anti-union statements.âActing Labor Secretary Julie Su Criticizes Donald Trumpâs Labor Record at IOP: âActing U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su slammed former President Donald Trump for âfaux populismâ and hypocrisy on labor issues ahead of the 2024 presidential election at a Harvard Institute of Politics forum on Monday. Though Su declined to address the former president by name, she argued that âhypothetically,â opposition to overtime pay, sexual harassment, and support for Elon Musk are incompatible with a âpro-workerâ position. âI donât care how many McDonaldâs drive-throughs you pretend to work at,â Su said, referencing Trumpâs Sunday visit to a Philadelphia McDonaldâs where he served fries and answered questions through the drive-through window. Su was joined by Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO to discuss the future of the American Labor Movement. Brett Story and Stephen Maing, directors of âUNIONââa documentary film that followed the unionization of Amazon workers in Staten Island, New Yorkâwere also on the panel.âProminent Black Union Leaders Warn About Trumpâs Project 2025 Platform: âTwo prominent Black union leaders, Communications Workers President Claude Cummings and James Curbeam, chairman of the Teamsters Black Caucus, are warning African-American votersâand everyone elseâabout the threat of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and specifically about his platform, Project 2025. Their cautions were part of a wide-ranging discussion of that tome, created by the radical right Heritage Foundation, an ideological think tank which hates workers, women, LGBT people and people of color, among others. A former Trump regime official led the project and others of his ilk, plus GOP President Ronald Reaganâs Attorney General, Edwin Meese, populated it with their recommendations.âAFL-CIO Reports Huge Groundswell, Lead for Harris Among Unionists: âFrom constant contact with its large ground game of activists and canvassers, the AFL-CIO reports a huge groundswell and a large lead for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris among unionists and their families. But unionists will keep pounding the pavements, making the phone calls, and distributing union literature about kitchen-table issues, federation President Liz Shuler said in an hour-and-a-half press conference on October 18, discussing election prospects and issues that move voters. Thatâs because, as Shuler said, unionists and their families make up a fifth of the electorate in the key swing states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin. âWe have [Republican nominee Donald] Trump at around 19% and Harris at around 64% in our field numbers, with the rest undecided,â Shuler said near the end of the discussion. âBut weâre still talking to every member.âAFSCME Members Rally to Warn Voters About Trumpâs Anti-Worker Project 2025: âAFSCME members rallied here on Oct. 5 to sound the alarm on Project 2025, Donald Trumpâs extremist plan to undermine critical public services and roll back the freedoms of working people and retirees. In front of a giant shredding truck, hundreds of members of AFSCME, the Arizona AFL-CIO and National Nurses United (NNU) joined local elected officials and others to detail how Trumpâs Project 2025 would âshredâ Arizonansâ freedoms, crush unions, eliminate overtime protections, repeal the $35 cap on insulin for seniors, and end negotiations for lower prescription drug prices. Members tore apart signs that read, âMedicare,â âLower Prescription Drug Costsâ and âFreedom to Retire with Dignityâ to illustrate how Trumpâs anti-worker agenda threatens the issues we care about most. âYouâve heard what Project 2025 is all about and make no mistake about it, they will do it if they are victorious in November,â said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. âBut the Labor Movement stands in their way. And weâre going to do what we do bestâŠwe communicate, we connect, and we educate and mobilize and organize!âââAlmost All Worker Protections You Can Think of Are Threatenedâ: Donald Trumpâs Potential Second Presidency Could Catastrophically Doom Laborersâ Rights: âAttorney Brian Petruska warned The Huffington Post that a second Donald Trump presidency could deal a devastating blow to workersâ rights and labor protections in the United States: âThe changesânot to engage in hyperboleâare potentially catastrophic. Almost all worker protections you can think of are threatened.â âWeâre looking at going back to pre-1930s labor law in this country,â claimed Petruska, an attorney for the Laborersâ International Union of North America. âIâm not exaggerating. Thatâs literally whatâs happening.ââOmni Hotel Workers in Boston Vote to Ratify New Contract, Will Return to Work Monday: âAfter months of negotiations with Omni hotels and about a week of over 600 workers on strike in Boston, the union unanimously approved a tentative contract agreement Sunday to send those employees back to work Monday morning. The tentative agreement was reached late Friday night and ratified Sunday afternoon. The president of UNITE HERE Local 26 says it’s a historic contractâthe best they’ve ever hadâand now they’re celebrating.â
