Anyone who thinks Trump wouldn't be hostile to unions should remember he: -Stacked NLRB, other agencies w/ anti-union picks -Made entire public sector 'right-to-work' by putting Gorsuch on SCOTUS -Peeled back wage/safety regs -Tried to get federal unions huffpost.com/entry/second-tr…

Wow…
Insane number of challenged ballots in the Compass Coffee union elections in DC. There were five elections, none of which have clear results today. One store had a total of 16 votes -- none of which could be opened because they were all challenged! From the NLRB:

Solidarity ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽
Today LCU members boycotted our staff meeting and summer BBQ in protest of Management's failure to bargain for over 6 MONTHS. It's been more than FOUR YEARS since we unionized. We are united for a fair contract! @LawyersComm @DamonTHewitt where are you?

Shame on @LawyersComm management. Solidarity with @LCUnitedUnion!
The workers at @LawyersComm deserve a fair and equitable contract! Tell @LawyersComm and @DamonTHewitt to return to the bargaining table and sign a contract NOW! #unitedforafaircontract #solidarityforgood #unionstrong #1u #TheFutureWeDeserve

.@billiejoe and @GreenDay, tell @iHeartPodcasts to pay their employees at the #iHeartAwards. Corporations like iHeart are one of the reasons why the American Dream is killing folks – at Washington, DC
Hey @GreenDay we see you’re performing at the #iHeartAwards - they’re telling us they don’t have any money to pay fairly while throwing this big expensive party. Now everybody do the propaganda !
