Workers at #SkyHarborAirport have been fighting tirelessly for nearly 7 months for a fair contract. They’re demanding livable wages, affordable health insurance, pensions, for workloads, and above all, RESPECT.

Another week, another win 😌✌️

CONGRATULATIONS to the Starbucks partners of 75th & I35 in Overland Park, Kansas, who just won their union election with a UNANIMOUS victory!!! 🔥🔥

For the past two and a half years, Starbucks workers have been leading the way.

They’ve shown us the power of forming a union, the power of the strike, and have inspired the whole working class.

Congratulations on this major breakthrough. The UAW has got your back.

This is just so 🔥 I gotta post again. A week after workers at 21 Starbucks stores announced they were joining the national movement, the company and the union issued a joint statement on negotiations and organizing. Workers broke the dam. Let's go! Starbucks Workers United ❤️✊

Say hello to the Starbucks partners at the Renton Village store in Renton, WA who are the newest store to demand a union! 💖🎉🔥

They're organizing because 'Business has been repeatedly prioritized over partners’ physical and mental health.'

1800+ people have signed our community statement supporting the preservation of the “Solidarity” mural on the interior walls of the UE Hall in Chicago.

We are still doing final fundraising push and appreciate all donations.

We never hear of Capital Day, not because Capital has no day, but because every day is Capital Day.

The struggle in which we are now engaged will end only when every day is Labor Day.

Happy Labor Day weekend! I had the honor of walking in the annual Chicago Labor Day Parade today, starting at the Pullman National Historical Park, which honors first Black labor union in the country to be recognized and win a collective bargaining agreement.

“For Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez who fought in their own time/For our brothers and our sisters up and down that picket line/For the unnamed and unnumbered who struggle brave and long/For the union men and women standing up and standing strong!”
