“If you’re a young worker, stay safe on the job, get paid for the hrs. you work & don’t forget you have the right to join a union! We are all stronger when we stand shoulder-to-shoulder w/ our fellow workers.” Sebastian Puerta UAW 4811

This week, House Committee on Education & the Workforce Democrats released 'A Slap on the Wrist' - a new report on how out-of-date caps on fines under a slew of labor laws aren't enough to deter lawbreakers. It's time to update those fines. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-re…

!!! A new study finds that Amazon accounts for 86% OF ALL INJURIES at large warehouses in the US. thenation.com/article/econom…

Nothing makes me happier than to see one of our laws go national!

Child labor is flourishing in the US. It's a policy choice. You can't systematically underfund and undermine labor law enforcement for decades at the behest of employers and turn around shocked that children are killed in sawmills.

Fund enforcement now.

The NLRB is crucial to protecting the rights of union and non-union workers. With union election petitions up 35% and NLRB staffing levels down 41%, the agency urgently needs a funding increase.

We applaud the 180 members of Congress who support an NLRB funding increase:

Amazon workers are taking our fight to the Capitol 💪

Follow Keith as he prepares to speak to Senators in support of the Warehouse Worker Protection Act – legislation that would protect warehouse workers from unfair work quotas and protect essential break time.

WATCH-- Chris Hayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

Senate Majority Leader Senator Bob Duff, Majority Leader, Connecticut helps make the case for #UIforStrikingWorkers ! Working people shouldn't have to choose between better working conditions or putting food on the table. #LevelThePlayingField

Take Action: act.aflcio.org/letters/tell-y…

We stand with our brothers & sisters of UAW Region 6 who deserve to peacefully protest without being attacked.

We have to protect the rights of students and workers to engage in nonviolent collective action, including protests.

Silicon Valley janitors are outside of Amazon demanding a fair contract and an end to abusive workloads. #JusticeForJanitors

.DeltaAFA Flight Attendants are on the move and building serious momentum to get a vote to for their union with AFA-CWA and negotiate an industry leading contract. They are ready to fly as part of a powerful worldwide Labor Movement. #MayDay2024

Happy May Day! Janitors are in the Streets across the State demanding an end to abusive workloads. 1 in 3 janitors were hurt on the job last year. That means that a janitor was injured in every office building, studio & tech campus in California. Ya Basta! #JusticeForJanitors

REMINDER: Sit ins and building occupations were a hugely important tactic in building the labor movement in this country. Millions of workers won their unions through sit-down strikes on the factory floor.

We want a union. We are Delta AFA-CWA.
