I’m listening to analysis on the recent big bill passed in the US and the potential devastation to working people breaks my heart. And makes me think that unions matter. Supporting unions is increasingly vital. Does anyone know of any funds or strategic initiatives to do this in the US?

I think the biggest mistake is to organising as actions separate from collective bargaining. To strengthen unions, regardless of where we are we need focus on building every aspect as if we’re going to loose institutional influence

I’m getting more frustrated with the idea of funding ‘poverty alleviating projects’ which do not strengthen the sure way to raise wages - collective bargaining. Especially when founders acknowledge this.

Dramatic news for EU workers. The ECJ Advocate General advocates to annul the Minimum Wage Directive. While the EU has been destroying collective bargaining for decades, a small step towards promoting it seen as illegal. www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

I've said it before and I'll surely say it again. If the future of work is shaped only in your boss's (~capital) interests, you have every reason to be anxious about it.
