Join @ibewlocal46 and the Seattle Building Trades on Monday, May 18, to picket the SR-509 Tolled Highway Project from 3-5 pm. Meet at 2408 S 208th St., SeaTac.
This WSDOT project will result in a tolled highway that will be paid for by working people who use this highway to get to their jobs. To make matters worse, work on this project is done by an out-of-area, non-union contractor. Come out and say 'No Jobs, No Tolls!'
REI workers have spent months negotiating a fair contract, only to be met with delays and dead ends from the company. Now, they are asking members and supporters to boycott the company’s biggest sale until REI changes its ways.
By participating in the boycott, customers are telling REI executives that they stand with workers.
Food service workers at Climate Pledge Arena are fighting for accessible healthcare and livable wages. Tell Climate Pledge and Delaware North that these workers deserve a fair contract!

Happy May Day! ✊🌹
Today is International Workers’ Day – a time to honor the struggles & victories of working people, past and present.
The first May Day took place in Chicago in 1886, when thousands of workers went on strike demanding an 8-hour workday. Their fight echoes still.
In remembrance, we're sharing three powerful moments from our collections:
📸 1) Group photograph at an IWW Labor Day Picnic in Oakland, California, 1939 (uncertain whether this is for May Day or Labor Day that September).

📸 2) Speaker at an outdoor May Day celebration at Hing Hay Park in the International District, Seattle, ca. 1980.
