This weekend ATL DSA showed up in support of Starbucks partners organizing at Crabapple & Houze Rd in Alpharetta. In case you missed it, you can still support workers by paying a visit, ordering a simple drink under the name “Union Yes,” and leaving a cash tip. Solidarity! ☕️🌹✊

 

🎓 Jacobin: UC System Strike Enters 5th Week 🎓

As it enters its fifth week, the biggest college worker strike in history continues to show the administration at the University of California that true power lies with organized workers!

 

Final semester grades are supposed to be due in the next week, but TAs are on strike all across the state! Massive picket lines and work stoppages have proven to the University that workers are the heart of the system's achievements, and that they deserve their demands met in full.

 

Cyn Huang, former national YDSA co-chair and current Head Steward of UAW 2865, met with various workers on strike throughout the university system to hear their thoughts, experiences, and insights.
