Long lines at the pharmacy aren't a coincidence...they're a choice by management. Show support to the workers with UFCW Local 1428 who want to change that, and gain safe staffing!

Join us on June 11th from 11AM-1PM to show Vons customers and patients are standing with us to improve our pharmacies and neighborhoods. The action will be at Vons Upland located at 81 W Foothill Blvd., Upland, CA.

Today, President-elect DeJonaé Shaw spoke with a Labor Studies classroom at University of California, Riverside about her experience in the labor movement. Thank you to Professor James Anderson for the opportunity to connect students with real conversations about leadership, organizing, and community work.

As a Kaiser nurse, USW 7600 member, nonprofit founder, and Labor Council President, DeJonaé shared her insights into the many roles labor leaders carry both in the workplace and in the community. We appreciate the students for engaging in such a thoughtful discussion and thank you again for having us!

STAND WITH REI UNION WORKERS: No contract. No sale.

REI Co-op workers have been organizing for the past four years and are STILL fighting for a first contract. Instead of living up to their supposed co-op values, REI has continued to union-bust and delay negotiations.

Skip the anniversary sale happening through May 25th and gear up with local outfitters or buy directly from brands instead.

No sale is worth funding REI’s corporate agenda. ✊
