When workers live paycheck to paycheck, not having advance notice of your store closing means not being sure they can pay their rent or their car payment that month. #SB1089 will provide workers and the public dance notice so they can plan. Read more here: ufcwwest.org/advance-notifi…

This is our statement on Governor Janet Mills’ shameful veto of a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine. #mepolitics #Shame

Donald Trump slashed access to overtime pay for workers. Joe Biden just expanded overtime protections to anyone earning under $58,600 per yr. This is a huge win for working families.

BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.

Stand with working people and urge your state representative to support unemployment benefits for striking workers! Workers shouldn't have to choose between better working conditions or putting food on the table. #UIforStrikingWorkers

One of the biggest scams in the marketplace is the lie so many employers tell their workers about autonomy and independence as a justification for the denial of labor rights. Proud to help delivery drivers in Colorado take on algorithmic control. Thanks to legislative champions!

California nurses are protesting Kaiser's embrace of unreliable AI systems. I've spoken to nurses who have complained about them: They're prone to making incorrect diagnoses and often dangerously expedite patient care.

California Nurses are pushing back today:

“We are hopeful this will create a path for protections this summer but will not stop advocating until it is accomplished,” said Lorena Gonzalez, head of the California Labor Federation #worker #safety

Fain: It's not a CEO that's going to save us. It's not a president that's going to save us. It's not me and it's not you. It's us. It's a united working class is how we're going to win!

The real #Coachella isn't a music festival. It's hard working farm workers like Jorge who today is laboring in a lemon orchard spraying weeds. He shares, 'Today isn't very hot - it's just 90° - but it's going to go up to 117° soon.' #WeFeedYou

Nurses see first hand how tele-health is replacing hands-on care. And now greedy hospital execs aim to cut costs by offering so-called 'hospital-level care at home'—sans nurses. Our patients deserve around-the clock care. We need MORE nurses at the bedside, not fewer!

These gig companies want the power that comes w/ being an employer while disowning the responsibilities enacted over the past century by fed & state lawmakers. Portable benefits are a new strategy to cement a business model built on worker misclassification & tax avoidance.

Earlier this month I shared, before a house committee, the story of Ashley, a 31-yr old app-based health care worker in PA. We met earlier this year via research w/ Fairwork. For 2 yrs, Ashley has worked in nursing homes for ShiftKey, which allows her to bid on shifts. 🧵

'In spite of relentless lies and scare tactics from Governor Bill Lee and other pro-business politicians, workers refused to be swayed by yet another round of attempted election interference and sent a clear message that they want a voice on the job.' #StandUpUAW #1u

Congratulations to the Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga who voted to organize with UAW today.

Every worker should have the free and fair choice to join a union. When workers have a voice, we see increased wages, benefits, security, and safety for all.

Up against both their bosses and their state’s entire political leadership, Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga just won what has the potential to be one of the most pivotal union elections of this century substack.perfectunion.us/p/breaking-vol…

History. #StandUp autoworkers everywhere!

UAW WINS!!!
