United Videogame Workers-CWA @videogameworkers.bsky.social · 9h
Aujourd'hui, UVW-CWA exprime sa solidarité avec les Travailleuses.eurs d'Ubisoft Montréal-Ubisoft Workers of Montreal (TUM-UWM), qui se battent pour préserver le droit de leurs collègues à un milieu de travail hybride. Le retour au bureau est l'une des nombreuses politiques que la direction met en œuvre sans consulter les travailleuses et travailleurs qu'elles touchent le plus: les parents, les employé·e·s en situation de handicap, les travailleuses et travailleurs qui ont acheté une maison à l'extérieur d'un rayon de déplacement raisonnable, celles et ceux qui ont déménagé dans un autre pays pour conserver leur emploi, celles et ceux qui s'épanouissent en télétravail, et bien d'autres. En imposant des mesures brutales de réduction des coûts et en revenant sur des ententes antérieures, la direction de l'entreprise doit être tenue responsable du prix humain de ses décisions.

Les travailleuses et travailleurs du TUM-UWM mènent la charge dans notre lutte collective pour un travail digne et la justice économique. Si vous travaillez chez Ubisoft Montréal, joignez-vous à vos collègues pendant les heures de pause et veillez à ce que la voix des travailleuses et travailleurs d'Ubisoft soit entendue à la table.

According to the NYPD, the Mamdani admin has approved sending the SRG to protests, despite having the authority to block it. If true, this is alarming. The mayor must keep his pledge to disband the SRG + the City Council must pass the CURB Act to prevent other units from implementing these tactics.

One important policy lesson from this story is how Facebook committed blatant tax fraud in 2013 (Zuckerberg's stock options as R&D) and still hasn't been forced to pay it and thus learned that tax fraud is an acceptable business practice and so is doing it again.

Kristi Noem is long gone as DHS secretary. Emil Bove now sits on the 3d Circuit. The Venezuelans sent to CECOT and eventually repatriated have scattered to the winds. Even if the appeals court allows a contempt inquiry, nearly half of Trump’s term will have elapsed before real accountability starts.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.
