"No contract, no cats!" 🐈 🐈⬛
Emmanuel College dining workers won their union contract last November! 💪
"For these workers, the first contract is not just a list of new benefits—it is a framework for a more secure, dignified workplace, and a signal that organizing can deliver tangible changes..."

It was inspiring to see so many of our union leaders, including @teamsters.bsky.social Local 25 leaders from Encore Boston, at our Shop Stewards Convention yesterday. A special shoutout to our RI crew, who beat the snow — over 3 feet for some! #UnionStrong #BostonStrong #RhodeIslandStrong ✊🏽✊🏽
Thank you to all the workers who are keeping us safe by doing essential work like plowing streets and restoring power during this whopper of a snowstorm! 🥶

Throughout his life, Rev. Jackson fought tirelessly for workers, both at home and around the world. At every turn, he reminded us that the fight for good jobs, living wages, and union rights is inseparable from the fight for justice and equality. May he rest in power.
