September 6, 2026 Nicho Lucas, People's World. Resist! Caregivers, Maryland, Strike, Unions

This summer, a group of 33 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in Rockville, Md., made a bold decision to go on strike after their employer, Verbal Beginnings, refused to negotiate a fair contract for over a year. These workers provide vital early intervention and special services for children on the autism spectrum. Represented by Teamsters Local 639, they took to the picket line to fight for recognition, better pay, and better working conditions. As of publication, the workers have been on strike for seven weeks. People’s World interviewed five of the striking workers on the picket line: Collin Johnson, a senior technician, and technicians Angelica Zatino, Jane Bruno, Lynnette Santos, and Tim Shandle.

Jackson Transit Workers Win Strike, Save Saturday Service

August 28, 2026 Paul Prescod, Labor Notes. Resist! Mississippi, Strike, Transit Workers, Victory

Eighty public transit workers in Jackson, Mississippi, have won a tentative agreement with MV Transportation, after a grueling five-week strike. The transit workers represented by ATU Local 1208 garnered public support and were able to win most of their major demands. One of their most important victories was that they fought off a proposal for microtransit, a form of private on-call transit service that would have brought in drivers without a commercial driver’s license at a lower-tier wage. Besides the fact that microtransit is much less reliable for riders with disabilities, the union felt it needed to take a stand on principle against the introduction of a two-tier wage system.

Teamsters’ Beverage Market Strike Enters Seventh Week

June 25, 2026 John Case, People's World. Resist! Strike, Teamsters, West Virginia, Worker Rights

A sharp, existential struggle for Teamsters Local 175 in southern West Virginia has emerged from a punitive bargaining conflict scarred by blatant unfair labor practices into a strike that is now entering its seventh week. This is an extreme example of bad faith bargaining. Around 50 members of the union who work for The Beverage Market in the capital city have reported no progress in contract negotiations. Despite the absence of any evidence or claim of financial hardship, the company demands blatant and still unexplained wage cuts, job cuts, benefit cuts, and other demands, including a contract of “indeterminant” length that would force resignations and effectively wipe out the union.

Mental Health Workers Fight For Living Wages

Houston, TX—For the mental health workers at the Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), the work is a calling. But for many, it’s also a financial struggle that forces them to hold two or even three jobs just to make ends meet. In an interview with People’s World, Brian O’Reilly, a counselor at the Harris Center and member of United Workers of Harris Center-CWA Local 6154, described conditions on the front lines of Houston’s public mental health system as dire—and getting worse. “Generally speaking, conditions are poor, and morale is low,” he said.

Batesville Products Teamsters Reach Day 40 Of Strike

June 22, 2026 Fight Back! News. Resist! Indiana, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Strike, Unions, Worker Rights

Lawrenceburg, IN – Workers at Batesville Products Inc. (BPI) have been on strike since May 11 after voting unanimously to withhold their labor and demand recognition of their union, Teamsters Local 135. The strike began after a supermajority of workers signed authorization cards seeking Teamsters representation and demanded voluntary recognition from the company. BPI management refused to recognize the union, prompting the filing of a representation petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Rather than allowing workers to move quickly toward an election, the company challenged which employees should be included in the proposed bargaining unit through the NLRB's pre-election hearing process.

Crushed 1891 Strike By Black Farmer Cooperatives Holds Keys To Economic Justice

June 17, 2026 Shivank Pandey, Nonprofit Quarterly. Create! Black Farmers, Cooperatives, History, Strike, The South, Unions

Houston County, TX, December 11, 1886. Sixteen Black men gathered on a farm and started something that would grow into one of the most ambitious economic organizing efforts in US history. They called it the Colored Farmers’ National Alliance and Cooperative Union (CFNACU). Within five years, it had spread across the South and claimed 1.2 million members. Then, in 1891, it was violently destroyed. Most Americans have never heard of it. That is exactly the problem. Jessica Gordon Nembhard, a political economist and scholar of Black cooperative economics, described this endeavor in an interview with NPQ.

Education Strikes Across Spanish State Demonstrate Power Of Self-Organization

On Wednesday, the yellow shirts of hundreds of teachers shone in the scorching Catalan sun as they flooded onto the AP7, a key highway that connects Barcelona to France and the rest of Europe. As far as the eye could see, trucks slowed to a halt: the Catalan general education sector strike had successfully blocked the movement of goods along the highway. The strike extended to every part of the education sector: even private summer camps were shut down by the strike. Mobilizations burst onto the streets — across the region, tens of thousands of teachers and allies rallied and blocked main roads.

West Bank Healthcare Workers Go On Strike

June 3, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. Resist! Health Care, Healthcare workers, Israel, Palestine, Strike

The emergency section of the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah seems too calm for the city’s largest public hospital. Fewer than ten people sit in the waiting hall, the floor tiles still shining clean as an employee mops the floor every five minutes. Inside the emergency hall, four nurses stand behind the central counter, while behind closed curtains, patients lie on beds, some waiting to be transferred to a specialized section or to be seen by the ER nurses. Three of the beds are empty. Abeer, a woman in her forties, comes from behind one of the curtains and exits to the waiting area, where she sits.

As the World Cup nears, Los Angeles’s service workers — the people who staff hotels and keep the restaurants and bars going inside the city’s big stadium — have threatened to go on strike if the tournament becomes hunting grounds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They have good reason to be worried. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has indicated that it may not routinely check attendees’ immigration status, but it has fudged on the broader issue of ICE presence, saying its agents will be available at soccer games.

‘Health Care, Not Wealth Care’: Michigan Nurses Continue Strike

May 28, 2026 Luis Martinez and G. V. Bourgeois, People's World. Resistance Report Michigan, Nurses, Profiteers, Strike

Grand Blanc, Mich.igan—Anyone driving down Holly Rd. would be hard-pressed to miss the entrance to the newly acquired Henry Ford Hospital. In the eight months since Labor Day, local nurses have picketed outside with signs that read, “patient care over profits” and “it’s health care, not wealth care.” This area is no stranger to collective bargaining; Detroit, the birthplace of the United Auto Workers (UAW), is a mere hour’s drive from where these nurses are carrying out one of the longest strikes in Michigan history. Organizers for Local 332 proudly channel that history as they stand against the second-largest health system in Michigan.

Fifteen thousand New York nurses are more than three weeks into their strike for a fairer contract. Yesterday members of the New York State Nurses Association braved below-freezing temperatures to march across the Brooklyn Bridge and deliver a message to City Hall. Hundreds of nurses joined together in Cadman Plaza Park, clad in cherry-red NYSNA beanies and holding aloft signs that read “Safe Staffing Saves Lives,” “Quality Healthcare for All,” and “Hospital Execs Literally Make Us Sick." As their procession stretched out across the bridge, chanting nurses were treated to applause from passersby and blaring honks from supportive onlookers below.

On Tuesday, January 27, NYSNA held a picket outside of Mount Sinai Hospital, holding space for speeches against the bosses and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following the public execution of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, National Nurses United (NNU) — the largest union of registered nurses representing 225,000 members — put out a statement calling for the abolition of ICE. The statement reads in part: ICE and all related immigration enforcement agencies have repeatedly shown through their violence, terror, and lawlessness that they pose a dire public health threat to the entire country and all our communities.

Tens of thousands of Minnesotans chanting “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” marched through downtown Minneapolis Friday afternoon to demand ICE leave the state. The massive demonstration in subzero temperatures was a central part of an economic shutdown that included strikes, arrests and civil disobedience, hundreds of businesses closing their doors, and rallies. The call for “no work, no school, no shopping” was put out publicly roughly 10 days ago by a coalition of unions, faith groups and community organizations.

January 17, 2026 The Indypendent. Resist! Health Care, New York City (NYC), Nurses, Strike, Worker Rights

Maggie Latona is one of more than 15,000 nurses in the New York State Nurses Association currently on strike. She is also a member of the union’s Contract Action Team which has engaged with members to determine what they want to fight for. She joined “The Indypendent News Hour”, our weekly radio show, on Tuesday from the picket line outside Mount Sinai Hospital, to discuss the nurses’ strike, what’s at stake in their fight, and how patient care is impacted by the current conditions nurses are working under. Latona also detailed the ways in which some of the wealthiest hospital networks in the city, like Mount Sinai, New York Presbyterian and Montefiore, are overcharging patients and leaving their nursing staff without adequate protection or support.

New York City Nurses In Historic Strike

January 14, 2026 Sharon Black, Struggle La Lucha. Resist! Health Care, New York City (NYC), Nurses, Strike, Worker Rights

New York, Jan. 13 — Do you remember when New York City nurses were heroes? When they showed up every day at the height of the pandemic, risking their lives to save thousands from a deadly and highly contagious virus? The city clapped and banged pots at 7 p.m. for them. Politicians called them angels. Their courage was the thin white line between life and death for a city in crisis. But the executives at New York’s largest and richest private hospital networks — Mount Sinai, New York-Presbyterian, and Montefiore — have short memories. In the cold dawn of the new year, they have chosen not to honor that sacrifice, but to betray it.
