On Jan. 12, some 40,000 Mexican workers went on strike at 45 sweatshops — known as maquiladoras — across the U.S. border in the town of Matamoros.

The demand was “20 and 32” — a 20 percent raise and a 32,000 peso (about $1,700) bonus. As of this writing, most of the factory owners have ceded to the workers’ demands. The bosses reportedly suffered combined losses of $50 million a day. ... See MoreSee Less

>The T announced in an email Sunday evening, “The MBTA is advising RIDE customers that potential service impacts could come as a result of a possible work stoppage on the part of a RIDE vendor, which if carried out, would take effect with the start of service on Tuesday, February 12.”

>The vendor, Greater Lynn Senior Services, one of three organizations the T contracts to provide drivers for the RIDE, remained in negotiations Sunday night with Teamsters Local Union No. 42, which represents its 270 RIDE drivers across several North Shore communities. Neither GLSS nor the union, which the Lynn Item reported last month is seeking more money along with numerous policy changes, could be reached for comment Sunday night.

>Jan. 26, 2019 - MARION, Ill. -- More than a dozen truck drivers protested Saturday on Interstate 57 by "slow rolling" from Marion to Effingham.

>They were protesting regulations they feel are hurting their industry. Drivers say while some of the regulations and protocols are a step in the right direction, others are making their job more dangerous. Big rig operators that participated say they would like to see more training for new drivers, an update to the electronic logging system, and more parking.

>"We're here to fight the regulations and the non-safety that has been brought to our industry by the government and the American Trucking Association. It's a play-to-play game out here anymore and it's not about safety - and that's what we're trying to bring back as owner-operators and individual owners," said driver Mark Davis.

>Saturday's slow-roll is one of many events planned leading up to a nationwide trucking shutdown on April 12, 2019.

>The word strike seems to be on everyone’s lips these days. Workers across the world have been striking to protest poor working conditions, to speak out against sexual harassment, and to jumpstart stalled union negotiations. And as we just saw with the Los Angeles teachers’ successful large-scale strike, which spanned six school days, strikers have been winning. Despite the shot of energy that organized strikes have injected into the labor movement, many people aren’t content with run-of-the-mill work stoppages, or even with more militant wildcat strikes.

>As President Donald Trump’s scandal-plagued government shutdown stretches into its fourth week and more than 800,000 federal workers struggle to survive sans paychecks, the words general strike have begun appearing with increasing frequency on social media and in a spate of articles. On January 20, Association of Flight Attendants-CWA President Sara Nelson suggested that a general strike could potentially end the government shutdown. The fact that a labor union official is speaking about such drastic action now is very significant, for one thing, because there has not been a major U.S. general strike since the government cracked down on labor following 1946’s Oakland general strike. Also, a general strike is an incredibly massive undertaking; while many organized industry-specific strikes can comprise hundreds or even thousands of workers, a general strike could potentially involve millions...

The president of the Association of Flight Attendants is calling on “conference activists from across the Labor Movement” to conduct a “general strike to end the government shutdown.”

Sara Nelson, while accepting the 2019 AFL-CIO MLK Drum Major for Justice Award, said, “Almost a million workers are locked out or being forced to work without pay. Others are going to work when our work-space is increasingly unsafe. What is the labor movement waiting for?”

“Go back with the fierce urgency of NOW to talk with your locals and international unions about all workers joining together to end this shutdown with a general strike,” she said.

>The deal includes caps on class sizes, and hiring full-time nurses for every school, as well as a librarian for every middle and high school in the district by the fall of 2020. The union also won a significant concession from the district on standardized tests: Next year a committee will develop a plan to reduce the number of assessments by half. The pro-charter school board agreed to vote on a resolution calling on the state to cap the number of charter schools. Teachers also won a 6 percent pay raise, but that was the same increase proposed by the district before the strike.
