TU Delft will join the relay strike on 24 April!
We are protesting the announced budget cuts of 1.2 billion euros on higher education in the Netherlands. This means that we have to cut about 10-20% of our budget.
Please join us in letting Eppo Bruins know that these budget cuts are unacceptable!

> The tech industry is a runaway train, and if we don’t do something soon, we’re going to get run over. [..] it’s all going to keep getting worse unless we take a stand. #Unionizing isn’t just a nice idea - it’s a necessity.
> So let’s do what hackers do best: let’s disrupt. [..] Let’s take back our industry, take back our jobs, and take back our futures.

“It’s not just about federal workers,” says Eric Blanc, author and assistant professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. “If they take out the federal unions, that’s our best block right now against Trump’s authoritarian power grab.”

"The Canadian technology company Telus provides services to TikTok and other major corporations in its operations in Turkey. However, the workers in these "profitable" jobs are being crushed under low wages and psychologically exhausting working conditions. Performance targets are constantly rising, there is no job security, and arbitrary dismissals are taking place."

Friday's three good things:
- it's Friday, which in my country and my line of work means weekend starts tonight!
- I'm grateful for unions that managed to obtain weekends off
- also happy that I am able to work and allowed to earn my own money.

Workers at #Philadelphia #WholeFoods store vote to #unionize
Workers voted 130 to 100 for representation, according to the National Labor Relations Board (#NLRB), which translates to nearly 60 percent of workers choosing to unionize. Workers at this particular location filed to hold a #union election back in November. A successful vote is just the beginning of this process, however, as a contract has yet to be ratified and accepted by both parties.

Visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium was the highlight of my vacation to California several years ago. I support the unionization efforts of its employees to ensure that many more visitors have the chance to say the same.

"#Amazon closing all #Quebec warehouses, cutting jobs"
"Barbara Agrait, a spokesperson with Amazon, denies that the decision was made following the #unionization of 200 employees last spring at Amazon’s DXT4 warehouse in #Laval, Que."
Yeah right!
You have to #unionize
Amazon's stunt here is a threat to other places thinking of forming a #union. But if enough unionize, the plutocracy has to give in and accept it
That is the only way forward
