The event will connect Black women radicals in the mid-1900s labor movement to the Black feminist concept of imagination. Their alternate approaches and theories serve as important arguments for Black feminist analysis in labor organizing.

As @UAW's May NLRB election at the Mercedes Alabama plant approaches, the union is using Germany's #DueDilligence law to charge the automaker with #HumanRightsViolations. This is the first such use of the law, showing a strategy of exerting global pressure against union busters.
🚨 The UAW filed charges today against Mercedes-Benz Group AG for violating Germany’s new law on global supply chain practices. Mercedes-Benz’s aggressive anti-union campaign against U.S. autoworkers in Alabama is a clear human rights violation under the German Act on Corporate.

On Tuesday, SCOTUS heard Starbucks v. McKinney re the termination of the #Memphis7 + the standard for 10(j) injunctions. @MarkGPearceWRI explained to @CourthouseNews +@ryan_knappy how the case fits into a strategy to use SCOTUS to limit @NLRB's authority
courthousenews.com
The case stems from the termination of seven Starbucks employees at a store in Memphis, Tenn., as they were trying to unionize.
