IT HAPPENED! ALDF United secured an election victory in our unionization effort with a resounding win at the ballot box! We just made history in the animal protection movement, and we are one GIANT step closer to creating lasting, structural change at @ALDF! Thank you for all!

If they can come for graduate workers, if they can arrest, deport, expel, or imprison union leaders and activists for their protected political speech, then they can come for you. For your contract. For your paycheck. For your family. And for your rights.

Trade unionists everywhere, defenders of the Constitution, of freedom of speech, of academic freedom, and of the right of free association, should be appalled and disgusted by the behavior of Columbia University, and should take it for the clear signal it is.

It is no accident that the University is targeting a union leader whose local went on strike in the last round of bargaining. It is no accident that this is happening at Columbia University, where student workers won back the right to collective bargaining in 2016.

As the UAW has emphasized, the assault on First Amendment rights being jointly committed by the federal government and Columbia University are an attack on all workers who dare to protest, speak out, or exercise their freedom of association under the US Constitution.

In the latest assault on First Amendment rights, Columbia University has expelled and fired Grant Miner, President of UAW Local 2710, which represents thousands of Columbia student workers. The firing comes one day before contract negotiations were set to open with the University.

Please submit a comment in support of @ALDF's recently filed Citizen Petition, urging the FDA to require products to disclose when they contain animal-derived ingredients by requiring a simple “contains animals” disclosure on food labels. #containsanimals

As @Radish_Research and I show in this article, conditions overall remain favorable for labor growth, despite Trump’s re-election
Now is not the time to retreat

Labor still has huge (potential) disruptive power
Unions' existing power provides a base for beating back the worst of Trump’s attacks and expanding union representation to non-union workers in the semi-organized sectors

Most of the labor upsurge since 2020 has been driven forward by young radicalized workers — and they're unlikely to throw in the towel under Trump
Contrary to what some have suggested, the 2024 election did not register a major shift to the right among young people

A September 2024 Gallup poll found that 70% of Americans approve of labor unions, the highest support since the 1950s — even 49% of Republicans these days support unions
Overall, Americans trust organized labor far more than the president, congress, big business, & the media

Unions today hold over $35 billion in assets, as @Radish_Research's research shows
This war chest gives labor the financial cushion to go on the offensive while simultaneously defending itself from regulatory & legislative attacks

Trump's election was fueled by economic insecurities—but his pro-billionaires policies won't solve workers' material problems
Unions remain workers’ best tool to address economic insecurity
And projected tight labor markets will continue giving workers & unions lots of leverage

Trump’s election doesn't have to mean the labor resurgence is over
Unions actually organized more workers under George W. Bush than under Obama (mostly because labor seriously funded organizing in the early 2000s)
Here's why unions can still go on the offensive today 🧵
