Fight For A Union
@fightforaunion
We’re not resting until all working people are treated with dignity and respect. We're fighting for economic and racial justice. Join us. #UnionsForAll
"We're not interested in working for free. We're not interested in being the sacrifice." That’s the battle cry of the Allina Health SEIU hospice nurses who hit the picket lines this month. Workers everywhere are done being taken advantage of. We UNITE together, we FIGHT together!
Larry Fink, the guy in charge of Blackrock, thinks we should all work till we're dead. Ironic considering he hasn't worked a real job his entire life.
A leaked report from a law enforcement intelligence center shows the 1% is scared of a class war brewing. They know they are the cause but instead of trying to fix the problem (hoarding wealth) they're just hiring more bodyguards.
The top 20% of earners are keeping the economy alive. That's how it works when you don't pay the bottom 80% enough money to spend outside of necessities. The whole idea of having disposable income is quickly becoming a bad joke.
We paid this money. All of it! Companies passed these costs down to us, yet they are getting refund checks in the mail. Will they send us our money back? Of course not. This whole thing was just another regressive tax scam to funnel money away from the working class.
Airport service workers keep our airports running & are standing up for money, power, & respect. While airlines reward CEOs with massive pay, workers are demanding an end to poverty wages. Pass the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act for fair wages, healthcare & paid time off!
Billionaire elites will blame everyone but their own greed for why the rest of the country is struggling. That we should just pull ourselves up by the bootstraps while they were handed a whole boot factory. Unions are how we level the playing field. Pull yourself up by the union!
The NLRB just ruled against Amazon's illegal union busting tactics! Last week they ruled Amazon broke the law when they interrogated and threatened workers seeking to organize. They found two dozen violations of labor law! When we FIGHT back we WIN!
Yesterday's price is not today's price.. but yesterday's pay is still today's pay! How's that supposed to work? The cost of living has skyrocketed over the last 17 years, but the federal minimum wage hasn't budged in that time. Workers are being squeezed out.
Hachette Workers Coalition workers just made history by forming the largest union ever in trade publishing! They can now bargain for better working conditions and fair wages to support themselves and their families. ✊
A million farmworkers are about to lose healthcare because of rigged Medicaid rules designed to punish seasonal labor. Treat the working class as disposable, and the entire system collapses. No health, no harvest! Solidarity forever.
Tech worker numbers are being slaughtered by their CEOs right now. Oracle is leading tech layoffs, cutting 30,000 from its total workforce. Meanwhile, they DOUBLED their net income last quarter to $6B, paid their CEOs $350M, and co-founder Larry Ellison’s wealth grew to $200 billion.
C&H, the sugar company, is putting profits over people. One of its refineries is in a labor dispute, so it sent their sugar to an industrial warehouse, dumping it next to metal scrap, open coal, and petroleum products. Negotiate with your workers and stop risking your customers!
Record profits across the board. They say that all trickles down but the numbers say otherwise. The only thing going up are prices, not wages.
950 healthcare workers represented by SEIU Healthcare PA voted nearly unanimously to strike if management refuses to come to the table. When 99% of your staff stand up, you damn well better listen.
Billionaires are threatening to leave California if the new wealth tax is implemented. This is a bluff for most, however, if all of them did leave it would take over two decades to make up the difference. Meanwhile, workers pay their fair share while oligarchs pay next to nothing
Caregivers are striking en masse to protest poor working conditions, low pay, and unsafe staffing levels that jeopardize our treatment. These hospital groups are dragging their feet, putting profits over patients. Nurses are standing up for all of us.
Oil prices surged due to the war with Iran. Oil has since come back down, yet what we pay at the pump has stayed relatively the same. The only ones winning here are oil companies and gas stations. Literal highway robbery.
Why are Americans so frustrated by grocery prices? A) Prices rose a lot in recent years (over 25% in past 5 yrs) B) Grocery prices barely moved in the 2014-2019 years. Relatively speaking, the past few years are a BIG shock for Americans. Credit: Heather Long/Twitter
You can't keep calling it inflation when corporate profit margins surged upwards of 75%, accounting for roughly 40% of the total inflation seen since the pandemic began. Corporations raised prices to boost profits, used inflation as a shield, and never dropped prices again.
250 Years is a long time, and it's a great moment to pause and take stock of where we've been as a country, and where we are now. The history of this country is one of struggle. In many ways, a struggle to grow alongside our neighbors to meet the promise of this nation.
As workers, and as Americans, we won’t spend our money at places that enable the targeting, detaining and deporting of our friends, family, and neighbors. Our communities are already struggling enough! This 4th of July weekend, let's not ride with Enterprise!
Spain's government has instructed private firms and public companies to cancel discussions and contracts with Palantir. Sources told El Confidencial that companies controlled by SEPI, the country's sovereign wealth fund, have been told to blacklist Palantir.
Taking bets on how many days Trump's Arc de Temu will last in DC's heatwave this week. I mean I've seen some shoddy construction work, but this thing is a real piece...
Running the whole place by yourself, and they'll still call you "unskilled".
Real average hourly earnings of US workers suffered the biggest drop since 2023. Every worker is earning less today than they were a year ago. So much for putting 'American workers first'
