Happy #NationalBlackCatDay! 🐈‍⬛🖤 Workers shouldn't have to rely on "luck" for fair wages, safe conditions, or reliable healthcare—a union contract replaces luck with a guarantee. Show us your lucky charms! Drop a photo of your union cat below. 👇 #UnionStrong #BlackCatDay

Happy Friday! As the clock winds down on another busy week, we want to remind you of a very important union benefit: your time off. ⏳✨ The five-day workweek and the concept of "the weekend" didn't just happen—they were fought for and won by organized labor.

Amazon is hiring over 300,000 seasonal, part-time, and full-time workers this holiday season and expanding healthcare access for qualifying seasonal employees starting January 1, 2027. @RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum criticizes the move, saying that Amazon’s temporary benefits won’t fix high injury rates, unfair workloads, or anti-union tactics. lynnwoodtimes.com/2026/10/20…
