At 5:30 on the morning of January 20, members of the Centro de Trabajdores Unidos en Lucha (CTUL) in Minneapolis launched the first strike of the Trump administration, a walkout of Home Depot cleaners. “What kind of future awaits our children and grandchildren if we don’t fight back now?” one striking worker told Workday Minnesota.

CTUL, in partnership with SEIU Local 26, had been running strikes against major retailers for many months, and had recently won a union for retail cleaners at Macy’s, Best Buy, and Target stores in the Twin Cities. But this strike’s target was even bigger. It was Donald Trump himself.

Across the country, at the Port of Oakland’s largest container terminal, 90 percent of employees refused to report to work the same day, drastically curtailing port operations and delaying the loading and unloading of ships. The strikers — members of International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10 — told the local news that the action was a deliberate response to Trump’s inauguration.
