It's official: Illinois voters approve changes to the state constitution to enshrine collective bargaining rights and ban future efforts to implement Right to Work policies. With 2,113,534 votes in favor, there is no longer any mathematical path for the amendments defeat.

Today, Brittney Griner turns 32. She will spend her birthday in a Russian prison, where she has been unlawfully detained for 8 months. Let’s continue to advocate for her release and bring her home. #WeAreBG

How's this for callousness? We got a call from Simeon today. 13 students planned to go to Greece for Spring Break. They all paid $4,000 to @EFtours, a CPS-approved tour company. CPS is wisely grounding the trip due to #coronavirus. BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT REFUND THE MONEY.

Workplace issues might look different for tech than others, but values are the same. Fairness, dignity, freedom to come together to make change. That’s what a union brings! #CollisionConf @KevinRoose mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/2…
