Nearly 300 ZΕ«m school bus drivers with Teamsters Local 174 have reached a deal securing retirement benefits & averting a strike. β€œThis deal represents a victory for both sides. We are all thrilled that a strike was averted,” said Local 174 Secretary-Treasurer Rick Hicks

🚨🚨🚨Federal immigration agents are still using our state DOL data to find and detain people. Take 2 minutes right now and call Governor Ferguson to demand that he immediately block this data sharing. Then send to 5 friends and ask them to call too. πŸ‘‰360-902-4111πŸ‘ˆ

Graphic yellow poster with accents in red and black. Text reads: TAKE 2 MINUTES MAKE ONE CALL CALL GOVERNOR FERGUSON 360-902-4111 Tell the Governor to immediately end federal immigration agents' access to Washington DOL driver and license plate data for civil immigration enforcement. Not sure what to say? Swipe for a scriptFlyer with a photo of uniformed men wearing POLICE and ICE vests leaning into a car. A CALL TO ACTION Protect our immigrant neighbors Federal immigration agents are using Washington State driver and vehicle data to find and detain people. We demand that Governor Ferguson end federal immigration agents' access to Washington DOL driver and license plate data for civil immigration enforcement. It doesn't have to be this way. Washington does not have to help facilitate the detention of our immigrant neighbors.HOW ARE FEDERAL AGENTS USING WASHINGTON DOL DATA? 1 (logo for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Federal agents can run a Washington license plate through Nlets, a national law-enforcement information network. 2 (logo for Washington State Patrol) In Washington, the request can go through a system operated by the Washington State Patrol. 3 (logo for WA Dept of Licensing) It can then access Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) data, including the vehicle owner's name, address and vehicle information. 4 (image of an ICE SUV) Federal agents can use this information with federal databases to identify and detain people for immigration enforcement. 298 The University of Washington Center for Human Rights has verified 298 cases in which immigration arrests occurred following federal agents' searches of Washington license plate numbers through Nlets. This ongoing access goes against the intent of the Governor's previous order barring ICE from accessing DOL data. Source: Thurston Immigrant Solidarity League, Letter to Governor Ferguson, Sept. 30, 2026.WHAT YOU CAN SAY (Feel free to use your own words.) β€œI'm calling to ask Governor Ferguson to immediately end federal immigration agents' access to Washington DOL driver and license plate data for civil immigration enforcement. Allowing federal immigration agents to continue accessing this information runs counter to the intent of the Governor's previous order barring ICE from accessing DOL data. Washington should not continue providing federal immigration agents with another route to access this information. I join immigrant rights advocates and community members across Washington, including the Thurston Immigrant Solidarity League, in calling for an end to this access. Governor Ferguson has the authority to end it, and I'm asking him to act now. I stand with my immigrant neighbors. " READ THE FULL LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR AT THISL.ORG

IATSE believes the Kennedy Center is using its temporary closure to permanently eliminate union Box Office jobs, and we are fighting back. We are filing unfair labor practice charges and calling on the Center to rescind the layoffs and bargain in good faith. IATSE stands with every affected worker.

In the labor strife of the last few months, we see the clear impact of the two austerity budgets generated by the Wash. State Legislature in 2025-2026. Ferry worker sickouts; state employee walkouts; picketing by teachers and college staff: Each are consequences of deep cuts to state services.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

Seattle is a union town and we support the workers. Really disappointed in you. This statement is πŸ’© and everyone knows you’re understaffing and forcing overtime. Get it together. Puget Sound deserves better. 😑

HAPPENING NOW: UW workers are taking action for a fair contract! πŸ’«

After 12+ hours of bargaining with UW on Monday, we voted NO on UW’s last, best, and final offer for a new contract. UW proposed 0% wage increases, no extra PTO, no help for staffing or workload concerns. UNACCEPTABLE!

The Labor Movement stands with Seattle school bus drivers as they fight for a fair contract. These 300 Teamsters safely drive students to and from school every day. It's time for ZΕ«m Services and SPS to come to the table with a fair deal and avoid a costly strike.

Starbucks is ending their DEI initiatives nationwide. If you’re a customer, BOYCOTT STARBUCKS. If you’re a Starbucks worker, organize your union to protect you and your coworkers before things get even worse.
