On July 5, 1935, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Wagner Act, or the National Labor Relations Act, to guarantee the right to organize. #laborhistory

We need more signs like this in stores that claim to be suffering from a "labor shortage."

Labor must organize a 3rd party now!

Democracy has a billionaire problem. They buy elections to rig the rules in their favor. They pay lower tax rates than working families and buy a louder voice than most voters. Let’s get their dark money out of politics and make them pay what they really owe. #TaxBillionaires

The lottery is the only time a regular person can become a billionaire and the only time a billionaire will pay the legal tax rate.

UPS workers have spoken! Congratulations and solidarity to our union siblings at the Teamsters for winning a historic new contract at UPS!

Our demands are unrealistic? Tell that to autoworkers in Germany making double what we do. Stop the race to the bottom. Time to get to the top.

"A four-day workweek might not be as unreasonable an ask as it would have been even five years ago. A new survey of more than 1,000 US workers found that nearly nine out of 10 US employees are interested in the idea." computerworld.com/article/370555…

Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuuumble! #StandUpNow

The UAW Stand Up Strike begins at all three of the Big Three. #StandUp

During the eight and a half minutes General Motors CEO Mary Barra appeared on CNN this morning, she "earned" more money than any autoworker makes in a full work day. And that's how the Big Three wants to keep it. #StandUpUAW

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all and looking forward to a New Year filled with more victories for organized labor as we continue to Stand Up for economic and social Justice for the working class and poor!!

Workers have been earning record contracts because of their solidarity—because of their courage, and their willingness to strike. Workers deserve the very best, and while we celebrate the fantastic outcomes, it’s also important to acknowledge that it requires sacrifice.

We build Freightliner, Western Star trucks, and Thomas Built Buses. But this job is not like it used to be. So we're standing up for a fair contract at Daimler Truck. #StandUpUAW #UAW

Frederick Douglass’ words are as true now as they were in 1857: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did & it never will. Find out what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice & wrong which will be imposed upon them.”
