Susanne Bruyère has led a team of researchers at @cornellyti.bsky.social who study barriers to employment for neurodivergent people. But in May, funding for their project was cut. "I think that's a step backwards for a very capable group of potential workers in the American workforce," said Bruyère.

The BMA @bma.org.uk · Jul 25
Today marks the start of strike action for resident doctors in England.
These strikes could have been averted, if @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social had a credible offer for us to consider.

A **win** for Oscar Mayer workers. Fire and rehire needs to be tackled politically but in the meantime can be fought industrially.
There was no union recognised at this site previously, now there is one. Bargaining unit of around 500.

I've been anxious to talk about this because it feels so selfish, but time to move past that.

I have a book coming out!

"Who's Got the Power? The Resurgence of American Unions", comes out October 14th from The New Press.

It's an optimistic book for perilous times.

This may be of interest. Some of us have delved into the need for trade unions to engage with cooperatives more systematically. More dialogue is needed.
