When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

Early this week I apologized in a chat as the only Minnesotan for spamming (ha ha, reference) with our latest news seemingly every 45 minutes, and it was deeply validating to be told straight up "No, please keep us updated. We know the news isn't telling the full story. We need to know the truth."
