Congrats to the Fried Egg Workers Union on their big win! They just won 6 unfair labor practice cases!

This was after the NLRB found their employer guilty of wrongful termination, surveillance, retaliation, and denial of benefits.

When we fight, we win! Celebration coming soon, so stay tuned!

Great turnout at the Free Them All action in Tacoma yesterday! Lots of people from all over the PNW and a good crew from the IWW made the trip up and braved the rain to send a message. Hand off workers! Free Lelo! Free them all!
And a big thank you to all the groups that helped organize this.
