>Wabtec is a company that supplies technology products and services to freight rail and passenger transit markets worldwide. On Feb. 25, Wabtec consolidated a merger with GE Transportation. That very day, the company announced it would no longer abide by the contract terms that the United Electrical workers union had previously negotiated with General Electric in Erie, Pa.

>Wabtec attempted to unilaterally impose major concessions, including forced overtime, pay cuts of up to 38 percent, a two-tier pay scale, extensive use of temporary workers and arbitrary schedules.

>UE Local 506, representing most of the 1,700 workers at the Erie plant, and Local 618, representing a smaller group of workers, did not waste any time trying to plead with the company for fairness. They hit the picket line!

>Nine days later the strike is over and the union is claiming a win. The tentative agreement is for 90 days, but UE is confident it can win a long-term contract. Terms of the short-term agreement include no pay cuts, no benefit cuts, no forced overtime and no plant closure or permanent layoffs during the term of the agreement.

Tufts dining hall workers authorize strike

Boston Globe, March 15, 2019

Dining hall workers at Tufts University voted Thursday to authorize a strike as contract negotiations pass the eight-month mark, according to Unite Here Local 26. If a strike is called, 175 cashiers, dishwashers, grill cooks, bakers, and sous chefs will walk off the job in a fight for higher wages, lower healthcare costs, and better job protections.

Nearly a third of the workers are classified as temps, including one who has been there for 14 years, Local 26 said, and the union is seeking to make them full-time employees, with equal wages and job security.

The dining hall workers joined Local 26 last April and are seeking similar benefits to unionized dining hall workers at MIT, Harvard University, Northeastern University, and several smaller schools.

In 2016, Harvard food service employees went on strike for nearly three weeks and won a minimum full-time annual salary of $35,000 and compensation for employees who are laid off during the summer. The following year, Northeastern dining hall workers narrowly avoided a strike and also won a $35,000 minimum.

Last fall, Marriott workers represented by Local 26 went on strike for more than six weeks and, in addition to getting substantial wage and pension increases and paid parental leave, were granted wide-ranging job protections, including a five-year job guarantee for immigrants if their protected status is revoked and an alert system for housekeepers in case of an assault.

>No kid ever dreamed of growing up and driving for Uber or styling for Stitch Fix. In part, that’s because none of those companies existed when most of today’s adults were young. It’s also because, besides its much-touted “flexibility,” the gig economy isn’t much of a place to build a career. Instead, over the course of less than a decade, the self-described “tech companies” that connect people to gig work have managed to erode hard-fought labor protections in place for a century.
