Architectural Workers United ratifies first collective bargaining agreement at a private sector architecture firm in US
Excited to attend an #awu panel on fountain pens this morning. I've been looking forward to it since I first saw the schedule.

Michael Clune, an #AWU delegate, organiser with Unionists for #Palestine, and member of Victorian Socialists; Declan Furber Gillick Central #Arrernte man from #Mparntwe, Central Australia, an Aboriginal communist, trade unionist, and member of Unionists for Palestine; and Oskar Martin, #Bundjalung and #Kamilaroi
Democracy Now did a great segment with Google workers who were arrested during sit-ins against Project Nimbus about Project Nimbus, the No Tech for Apartheid movement, and their motivations and experiences. Definitely worth checking out if you want to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz8Y2NSPpXo
Google's illegal retaliation continues with a mass firing of over two dozen workers involved in the #NoTechForApartheid movement, including those with no direct involvements in yesterday's action. This is why we need #unions in tech, people.
I don't have enough characters here to express my frustration and sadness at Google's decision to have nine of their own employees arrested for a peaceful protest yesterday, so I wrote more about it on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/timwilde_no-tech-for-apartheid-activity-7186353758476357632-cU_G?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
Google, I'm so sad, angry, and disappointed at you. This is not the company I signed up for. I'm spending today in serious contemplation of my next steps and path forward.
In my second meeting this week organizing around the latest Google layoffs. We’re not taking this shit laying down, and you don’t need to either #StandUpFightBack #UnionizeTech
@lauren @dangoodin #AWU has won NLRB elections for some bargaining units, but we still have a long way to go to cover all ~200k employees and TVCs. We even got Google recognized as a joint employer for a couple of the units, although Google's likely to drag that through as many courts as they can: https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/4/24026025/google-nlrb-youtube-music-contractors-alphabet-workers-union

Something is not quite right with what we’re being told about the labour market with there being no workers for jobs
Was told Friday there were over 300 applicants for a carers job I’d applied for and this morning Seek tells me there were over 100 for a part time support worker position
International Gek of Mystery!
This was a take-home commission I got at #AnthroWeekendUtah #AWU from RissKitty (https://t.me/risskittyarts)
This is the piece that I got for me and my partner, Snarrfle, at #AWU last week! We get a couple’s commission every year, this one was done by @CiderBunArt@twitter.com, and we couldn’t be happier!
Fursuit parade at #AWU done! Cleaning up and going to lunch to chill now
