One of the cornerstones of the USPS is its universal service mandate — no matter where you live in the country, the postal service will deliver to you. Postal workers will get people their prescription medications, mail from loved ones, and everything in between. The same is not true of private companies like FedEx.  If the new Postmaster General pushes to privatize the Post Office, routes for mail carriers could be cut, local post offices shut down, and people in rural areas may not receive essential mail and packages. The ultra-rich and corporations stand to gain the most from a Post Office that becomes privatized. Executives will come in to make massive profits, while workers suffer layoffs and worse workplace conditions, and consumers face higher prices and worse service. And companies like FedEx and UPS can grow their market share and corporate profits. It would be a clear win for billionaires, and a loss for workers and consumers. Sign the petition to stand with USPS workers and reject the privatization of the Post Office. Postal workers are under threat as corporate executives move in to take over.

I urge Lularoe to reconsider these recent changes and reinstate the previous bonus structure. By doing so, the company will reassure its leaders that their work is valued and that their financial stability is a priority. Please join me in calling for Lularoe to make these necessary adjustments for the good of its community and the countless families who rely on it. Sign this petition to urge Lularoe to listen to its leaders and protect their livelihoods.

The ultimate goal of PSH-LMC employees is to convert to an Employee Ownership model, either as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), or more greatly a Workers Cooperative. El objetivo final de los empleados de PSH-LMC es convertirse en un modelo de propiedad de los empleados, ya sea como un plan de propiedad de acciones de los empleados (ESOP), un fideicomiso de propiedad de los empleados (EOT) o, en mayor medida, una cooperativa de trabajadores. In order to achieve this ultimate goal, it is necessary to unionize not only ourselves, but the Nurses as well. When all staff have advocacy and can negotiate the purchasing of the Hospital, we can remove the poor leadership and create a workplace for us, by us. With dedication and steadfastness we can not only make our work lives beneficial, but our lives in general will see betterment. This is not only our right, but our duty to make this place better for everyone. Para lograr este objetivo final, es necesario sindicalizarnos no sólo nosotros, sino también las Enfermeras. Cuando todo el personal tenga defensa y pueda negociar la compra del Hospital, podremos eliminar la mala dirección y crear un lugar de trabajo para nosotros, por nosotros. Con dedicación y constancia no sólo podremos hacer que nuestra vida laboral sea beneficiosa, sino que nuestra vida en general también mejorará. No es sólo nuestro derecho, sino nuestro deber hacer que este lugar sea mejor para todos. Through unity and strength we can make our lives better. Mediante la unidad y la fuerza podemos mejorar nuestras vidas.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly shown disregard for worker well-being.  Last year thousands of Tesla workers faced sudden layoffs after grueling conditions, despite the company reaping millions in tax incentives meant to create secure, safe jobs.  In his other role as CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk has pushed to undo worker protections and get rid of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency in charge of worker and union protections. Research shows Tesla routinely neglects mandatory safety procedures. In November 2024, OSHA penalized Tesla close to $7,000 after discovering four employees at the Austin Gigafactory had been exposed to dangerous chemicals without the appropriate training or safety precautions. Earlier last year workers came forward with alarming stories of falsified safety documentation and inadequate training.  It's time Tesla is held accountable. Workers deserve workplaces free from preventable harm, and corporate negligence must not be tolerated.  Tell the Tesla board to prioritize worker safety now and call on them to make immediate improvements in workplace safety standards.

More than 40% of Amazon workers reported being injured on the job in a survey the same year those profits were made, with the number increasing to over 50% for those employed more than three years. A Senate investigation even found that Amazon workers were nearly twice as likely to be injured compared to workers at other warehouses in the industry! These statistics reveal a damning pattern of workplace injuries at Amazon facilities. The high frequency of lifting heavy items, long hours, and awkward bending and twisting contribute to significant risks of low back injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. We cannot stand by while workers face such hazardous conditions. It's imperative that Amazon's leadership addresses these safety concerns.​ Sign this petition urging Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to take immediate action to improve safety standards in Amazon warehouses and improve working conditions for all Amazon employees.

This is important because if we don't push back, companies like DG will continue to exploit employees and take away our enhanced quality of life that we experienced since 2020. Remember: People had to protest in the streets many years ago just to get a 5-day work week! We have the power to stand up to these mandates. If we don't do anything about it, companies like DG will only make our quality of life worse.     If you love being present in your kids' lives, having more work-life-balance, and you don't like sitting in traffic for an hour every day, sign this petition!

CEOs at the biggest companies in the country have been earning 268 times what their workers are paid on average. Since 2001 profits of the retail sector have increased SIX TIMES what they were, while wages have only risen by HALF of what they were. Meanwhile, these same corporations continue to manufacture inflation, raising prices while denying fair pay to their employees. Workers deserve better - and last year there were some big wins. 500,000 fast food workers in California are now paid $20 an hour after a landmark fight for a fast-food minimum wage. Workers at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee won a 14% wage increase and profit-sharing by standing together for months. These are the kinds of changes workers need EVERYWHERE so that families don’t fall apart from financial stress and people don’t go bankrupt from a single visit to the hospital.

It's very important for my mental health and family

On May 20, 2022, Drake Cooper zigged when everyone else zagged, and promised a flexible, hybrid workplace policy titled, "Your Choice, Hybrid." "Drake Cooper is Your Choice, Hybrid. What we mean is, it's your choice. We are not going to force anyone to come back into the office, but we are going to maintain an office space..." In the years since this announcement, many of us have moved further from downtown to save money on housing, become healthier than ever before because commuting time could be spent dog walking or exercising. Maybe you expanded your family, or added a furry friend into the mix. Maybe you passed up higher pay because you were so proud to work somewhere that broke trail and put its employee-owners first.  This flexibility is a paramount piece of Drake Cooper culture, and taking it away for the benefit of collaboration in office is capped when so many team members work remote across the country and client calls are near exclusively virtual.

Please sign the petition to help us try to negotiate more paid holidays for drivers and monitors.

Faculty and students at UChicago and around the country understand the importance to their research and scholarship of the second-to-none South Asia holdings at UChicago library being properly classified.  Those who have worked closely with Ishaan hold his work in the highest regard, and attest that he possesses the highly specialized skills and dedication worthy of this world-class collection.

Orlando is right in the path of Hurricane Milton and masses of people are evacuating the area. Disney World employees should be evacuating, not preparing for business as usual on Wednesday and a “possible” closure on Thursday. Disney, a billion-dollar company, should be offering emergency PAID leave to employees, and committing to holding all of their positions if they are unable to return due to damage from Hurricane Milton. 6 employees died at a plastics factory in Tennessee because their employee wouldn't let them evacuate, threatening to fire them. By the time they closed, it was too late. The storm hit and people lost their lives. Workers should not fear losing their livelihood or losing their lives because of greedy employers! Disney, do the right thing. CLOSE THE PARKS! Guarantee jobs and paid emergency leave.  IMAGE CREDIT: Senior Airman Dakota C. LeGrand
