NEW: Blue Bottle workers told us they make $3,500 worth of lattes in a day, but take home just $144.

They can barely afford to make ends meet while Nestle—Blue Bottle’s owner—rakes in hundreds of billions a year.

Baristas across Boston are unionizing to demand their fair share.

An Alabama Mercedes worker at top rate would have to work 2 years to make what a Mercedes executive makes in just a week.

It's time to Stand Up to corporate greed.

It's time to Stand Up for ourselves and our communities.

It's time to VOTE YES at Mercedes in Vance, Alabama!

Waffle House employees in Georgia walked out last week to demand better wages and conditions.

Servers make under $3 an hour and up to $5 for a meal is deducted from their paychecks, whether the worker eats the meal or not.

Exploitation is part of the company's business model.

A new program championed by Bernie Sanders, Solar For All, will inject $7 billion into solar power for 900,000 working class homes.

Hundreds of thousands of people will save $400 a year, America will get more clean energy, and this country's power grid will get a needed update.

NEW: Thousands of workers are still out of work weeks after the Baltimore bridge collapsed.

Mainstream news is focusing on how the tragedy will affect the supply chain and the stock market.

NEW: Jeff Yass is a mega-billionaire who does not believe in income inequality.

He thinks he shouldn't have to pay taxes because “everybody [in America] has all the stuff they need... No one’s hungry, no one’s cold.'

He's the largest election donor in 2024.

Shawn Fain, president of the UAW, just spoke to the victorious Tennessee VW workers:

'The talking heads and the pundits said to me repeatedly before we announced this campaign, you can't win in the South, and Southern workers aren't ready for it.'

Next up, Mercedes in Alabama.

An utterly historic victory for the working class. Tennessee is shining bright tonight. We are in a new era.

Congratulations to the courageous workers in Chattanooga and the entire UAW. Absolutely heroic.

Solidarity IS the strategy - across the South, and all over the country.

Congratulations to the courageous Volkswagen workers in Tennessee for overwhelmingly voting to join the United Auto Workers. They have stood up for economic justice and have made a historic breakthrough in the South. When workers stand together against corporate greed, we win.
