The green economy is highly subsidized & very profitable. We must demand that jobs in these existing and emerging fields are good, union jobs. Save the planet & workers!

People of conscience: what do you do in a city where Lyft is only transportation option? Iā€™m in Nashville & drivers make 50 cents/mi & pay for own car, gas, ins. Big tip? Or walk/donā€™t go? Keep fighting. Yes! But participate in exploitation?

We need guv to sign bills like SB 674 & companies to negotiate & sign community benefits agreements that guarantee union neutrality! Otherwise EV factories are another version of subsidized sweat shops!

Governor Gavin Newsom can continue to lead on this issue by ensuring these investments transform peopleā€™s lives and their communities with good jobs. SB674 would protect our investments by ensuring competitive wages in zero emission transit.

Chipotle's CEO is "disappointed to see" that workers want to unionize. I was disappointed to see Chipotle's thousands of child labor violations in NJ & MA (company paid $7.75M & $1.4M) & fair workweek violations in NYC ($20M settlement). I guess we're both disappointed. (1/5)
