Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Union have been weakened by both external and internal forces over the past 50 years. Each has a particular power. I hope these inhumane events end up strengthening the union internally and more importantly union conciousness of its members. 011
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Thanks to anti-union decisions of the Supreme Court (Janus case), public sector unions are optional. I've read that as of 2/10, the AFGE saw a surge of 16,500 new members (good call, workers). Big wake up call. 151
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Aside from a temporary probation for new hires, probationary status should be fought tooth an nail out of the contract. The whole point of probationary status is disposability. 120
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025The real travesty in the firings of *promoted* probationary federal employees is their probationary status at all. That is a topic of bargaining and sadly something that has apparently been settled for by the union and it's members. It is truly absurd. 144
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025And what is your understanding of how general strikes are pulled off? 010
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Degrowth should be adopted as a core value of aloha 'āina and the sovereignty movement. 0115
Reposted by Ilimadusty dirty @upfromsumdirt.blacksky.app · 27/02/2025i really dont wanna "fight for & rebuild our democracy" as much as i wanna fight for something new & entirely inclusive from the start. just as george washington said "we dont owe king george shit!" neither do we owe romanticism & fealty to a governance that embraces economic hierarchies. 926973

Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I've noticed this America first rhetoric from the Teamsters and it's short-sighted. The UAW has been loud about supporting organzing Mexican workers. This article claims a lack of commitment from them. 010
Ilima @ilima138.bsky.social · 25/02/2025O ka wa ma mua - an independent Hawaiian state and a pae 'āina-wide workers movement. O ka wa ma hope - an independent Hawaiian state and a mass pae 'āina-wide workers movement. No ka lāhui always. 062
