MLK Labor

The Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Central Labor Council has set up a fund to support the workers at Nippon Dynawave and their families. Any amount would help these fellow union members as they recover from this unthinkable tragedy.

Donate Now To Help Nippon Dynawave Workers And Their Families While our community grapples with the recent Nippon Dynawave implosion, organized Labor is stepping up to help workers and families impacted by the tragedy.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to all those celebrating!

Our thoughts are with the workers at Nippon Dynawave Packaging in Longview and the southern Washington community.

Tragedies like this are why the labor movement must never stop fighting for workplace safety.

At least 1 dead, 9 injured and 9 missing in Longview pulp mill disaster The implosion was reported at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging facility in Longview. At least one person had been killed, and nine were missing.

We hope you have a wonderful day with friends and family. A deep thank you to those working today to keep us safe, healthy, and nourished!

Seattle's Social Housing program marked a milestone this week by purchasing its first property in the heart of downtown Seattle!

Housing is the biggest expense working families experience. Although this is an exciting achievement, it’s critical that our elected leaders continue treating this crisis with the utmost urgency.

Behold, the power of a union contract.

N.Y.C. Hotel Housekeepers Will Earn Over $100,000 Under New Contract A deal between a powerful union and an industry group substantially boosts annual pay for workers coping with New York City’s high cost of living.

It’s time to stop the unfair tolls on working families and for WSDOT to dump the non-union contractors building them.

IBEW Local 46

Join IBEW Local 46 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!'
