We have just laid the groundwork for a just transition to EVs. GM capitulated. Ford and Stellantis now know it’s just a matter of time. The Stand Up Strike is working. #holdtheline #StandUpUAW

In a first-of-its-kind law, all California public high schools will now spend a week teaching students about the right to join or form a union, job protections for minors, how to defend against workplace abuses, and more. contracosta.news/2023/10/02/ort…

As president of @seiucalifornia & @seiu2015, Laphonza Butler was a tireless advocate for working people. We are excited for her to bring her talent & passion to her new role. Congratulations, Senator @LaphonzaB!

#organizing is the difference that turns jobs into good jobs. @uaw is fighting to do just that. #standupuaw “One way to think about the autoworkers’ strike is that it’s an attempt to make manufacturing good again.” nytimes.com/2023/09/22/opi…

When auto CEOs say they can't afford to pay their workers, remember that Ford, GM, and Stellantis (Chrysler) have made a combined $21 billion in profits in the first half of 2023 and $250 billion in profits over the decade.

.@REI needs to reinstate Steven & #LetDurhamVote! #1U #OrganizetheSouth

BREAKING: REI DURHAM UNION EMERGENCY STRIKE Today at 12:15pm, we walked out of our store in solidarity with our coworker, Steven, who was unlawfully put on "administrative leave" as an act of retaliation for his involvement in our union.

The NLRB just charged Starbucks with 200 separate violations of federal labor law. This is a hell of a legacy for Howard Schultz. He will go down in history as the Al Capone of union busters.

Today decent and honorable people ensure we can have roads and bridges, schools and sewers. And most billionaires - thanks to the politicians they've paid for - refuse to pay what they owe. But, the many can defeat the money when we unite.

It’s #TaxDay in the U.S. & we have a question: Why are billionaires paying a lower % in taxes than teachers, nurses and almost everyone else? #TaxBillionaires

Worker power is building! Solidarity with REI workers who are on their way to unionizing their 7th store! #UnionsForAll

Hello, world! We are so excited to share that we, the workers at REI Durham, have officially filed for our union election! We are unionizing for our future and for each other. Because when we all work together, we can build a better REI 🧵(1/4)

Duke administrators are either obstructing a union vote knowing we actually *are* employees under the law or they're actively seeking a 2024 DeSantis presidency to overturn a well-established precedent. Both options are scary. Read my take in @thenation --

After the Duke Graduate Students Union filed for an election, the university announced it would challenge the NLRB decision from 2016 that granted the right to organize to graduate workers across the country. bit.ly/3Jq8Q60

Chris Smalls is a charismatic leader, but he himself has told me that it was the work of the 20+ organizing committee that pulled off today's victory. Americans' obsession with individualism shouldn't change that narrative.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 We’ve just unlocked the votes of over 55,000 North Carolinians with felony convictions! Judges ruled 2-1 that the state’s current felony disenfranchisement law violates two clauses of the state constitution. More details to come. #UnlockOurVoteNC
