On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its report on women in the workforce, and while there was some surprising news (female pharmacists make more than female CEOs), the report mostly told everyone what they already knew.

Right this minute, McDonald's workers and their supporters are getting arrested outside of McDonald's annual shareholder meeting. McDonald's has "cleared and closed its corporate headquarters" for the day in response to protests. Today is a great day to try a new restaurant, America.

Today, the labor coalition leading the ongoing movement to raise wages for fast food workers announced that workers in 150 cities around the world will walk out and/ or strike on May 15. That's fine and dandy. But might there be a better way for this movement to operate?

Yesterday, Senate Republicans blocked a vote to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Today, Seattle officials announced they would raise the city's minimum wage to $15 in increments over the next few years. Happy May Day.

Amazon is the future of retail, so it's always useful to hear from real live Amazon warehouse workers about what their jobs are really like. Today: one worker details just how much Amazon values its own time over that of its employees.

A statement today by employees at liberal media watchdog Media Matters who are trying to form a union: "The actions of Media Matters executives have placed employees in the impossible position of continuing to produce content espousing pro-labor values for an employer who is challenging our right to unionize."

Huffpo reporter Dave Jamieson wondered why so many of his Amazon Prime packages were being delivered not by UPS or Fedex, but by "independent" courier drivers. The answer says a lot about the dark side of our delivery-dependent future.

The average U.S. CEO is paid 331 times as much as their average employee. A new Demos report finds that the fast food industry, currently the subject of vast protests, "has the greatest CEO-to-worker pay disparity in our economy, with ratios exceeding 1,000-to-1."

The Washington Examiner reports that liberal media watchdog Media Matters is actively resisting an effort by its employees to unionize. MM tells us, "We respect the rights of our employees and will work through this process." If you're a MM employee who wants to share, email us.

What's the deadliest job in America lately? Working on cell phone towers! How much responsibility do cell phone companies and their contractors assume when a worker falls and dies? Virtually none! Mike Rowe, call your office.

Later this month, Northwestern University football players will vote on whether to form a union. Their coach is against it. The head of the NCAA is against it. Those are two great reasons for the players to vote "yes."

Last month, we showed you the newest internal anti-union training video that Target uses to indoctrinate its employees. What do the actors in the video—one of whom is a union member—have to say for themselves? We asked them.

On Monday, 250 UPS drivers reportedly lost their jobs for participating in a 90-minute walk off to protest the dismissal of a 24-year employee and union activist.

Last month, fast food workers across America filed several class action lawsuits alleging illegal wage theft by their employers. If you think that's a far-fetched problem, take a look at these new poll results.

Target is America's third-largest retailer. It is also as staunchly anti-union as they come. In 2011, we showed you the cheesy anti-union video all Target employees were shown. We now bring you the new cheesy anti-union video all Target employees must endure.

A coalition of McDonald's workers today announced that they're filing several class action McLawsuits against the company for "forcing them to work off the clock, shaving hours off their time cards and not paying them overtime."

Last month, the National Labor Relations Board charged Wal-Mart with illegally retaliating against workers trying to organize. Wal-Mart says those workers' activities don't deserve legal protection. This seems like a good time to hear from some actual Wal-Mart workers.

Union-busting crapola purveyor Walmart hates nothing more than organized labor. It has an extensive system in place to quash union talk wherever it arises. And its sample dialogues are quite enjoyable!

The first ever union vote at an Amazon facility in America is in: workers in Delaware voted 21 to 6 against joining a machinist's union. For unions, these types of votes are often hard to win. Amazon remains union free, for now.
