Portland State University faculty PSU-AAUP have been in a hell of a fight to protect their jobs, and their fight has paid off. This is a classic example of union power and why every worker deserves representation! opb.org/article/2025/1…

Lawmakers need to prioritize working people when considering cuts to Oregon’s state agencies: oraflcio.org/post/oregon-un…

Unskilled labor doesn’t exist; that’s why it’s called labor. And EVERY worker deserves a living wage — from pouring coffee to operating heavy equipment. Working class solidarity above ALL.

This is over half of what a Portland full time minimum wage worker makes in a month. x.com/MorePerfectUS/…

The US had the greatest decline in jobs last month since the start of the pandemic, but please keep telling us we’re in a Golden Age for workers. forbes.com/sites/tylerrou…

The rich frame minimum wage workers as “unskilled” labor, so we won’t realize they’re underpaid labor.

If OHSU doesn’t agree to a contract that respects their workers and protects their patients, 8,000 Oregon AFSCME workers are ready to strike, and all of Oregon’s labor movement is ready to back them up. wweek.com/news/health/20…

I’m proud to call Reyna a friend and to stand with her and every Oregon farmworker in our fight against these attacks on working people and this inhumane mass deportation agenda. koin.com/nwpolitics/lea…

Federal unions are essential and Congress is about to vote on a bill to reverse Trump’s executive order that took away their bargaining rights. Tell your reps: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act and save 1 million federal workers’ union rights. act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…

Today, I’m spending time with my loved ones, but many Oregonians are working. From healthcare providers to grocery workers, holidays should remind us of the labor that makes our communities run and of the progress we still need to make to build an equitable and just economy.

Happy Sunday. Just a reminder: No Contract. No Coffee. nocontractnocoffee.org

🚨STRIKE NOTICE 🚨 Oregon Nurses Association Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) at Legacy are going on strike tomorrow at 6 a.m.! Legacy continues to lag behind what Kaiser and OHSU offer their APPs in total compensation and will struggle to recruit and retain top frontline

I support the Legacy Advanced Practice Providers as they strike for a fair contract!✊

SNAP modifications that increase work requirements for “able-bodied adults” will impact 62K Oregonians. Being “able-bodied” doesn’t equate to work opportunity or guarantee a living wage. It only serves to continue to punish poor people for being poor. newsweek.com/snap-benefits-…

The wealthy set wages, rig employment levels, create job requirements, and put a price on necessities then blame poor people when they can’t afford necessities and can’t find jobs. It’s not about finding a better job, it’s about stopping working class exploitation.

As long as rural Oregonians are exploited for their labor and their vital contributions to this state are left behind, we will never have a fair and just Oregon economy. opb.org/article/2025/1…
