Our top story: Taylor Rehmet’s stunning victory has not just energized the Democratic Party heading into the 2026 #midterms; it’s seen as proof of concept for an upstart slate of candidates who have come from the ranks of organized labor to run for office and, ideally, shake up the status quo of Democratic politics in #Texas. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-labor-candidates-run-for-office/

30% of India’s labor is unionized.

90% of the unionized labor joined the strike.

ALL THIS INFORMATION IS IN THE LINKS I PROVIDED.

yes, close to 300,000,000 workers ―in a country of +1 BILLION― did not show up to work in India on the 12th of February of 2026.

THAT’S WHY IT IS HISTORIC AND NEWS WORTHY.

In 2025, 16.5 million workers in the United States were represented by a union; only 11.2% of all wage and salary workers... BUT 43% of nonunion workers (50+ million) would vote to unionize their workplace if given the opportunity.

can i just say something about #Colbert?

whomever negotiated his #CBS #labor & production contracts are geniuses.

have y’all noticed how, notwithstanding everything, they can't get rid of him outright?

Colbert must have nuclear options in his & his workers contracts that exponentially raise the costs of CBS getting rid of them under any circumstances.

this is only possible with the backing of labor #unions. Hollywood proves #unionization is the only path to wealth for the working classes.

This year’s spring wage negotiations have kicked off at Japanese electronics manufacturing companies, with unions seeking a pay scale increase of ¥18,000 per month, bigger than last year’s record-high demand. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/20/companies/electronics-makers-wage-talks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #wages #shunto #unions #japaneseeconomy #jobs #hitachi #mitsubishielectric #panasonic #sharp
