News: if you work for a living then you are in the working class.
What's NOT happening: Chambers of Commerce and big business ad conservative activists lobbying to end business subsidies as a result of cases of abuse. [That's only for SNAP and social services]
@BAmazonUnion @AFLCIO All workers are better with organized labor. A voice on the job. A contract to support that voice and rights is the closest thing we have to fight back the 1%. Giving up a union is surrendering your right to properity in this country.
BREAKING: an @AFLCIO/@GBAOStrategies poll finds that 77% of Americans support the #BAmazonUnion in Bessemer, AL! "This fight is universal—it’s a struggle for the fundamental rights and dignities that all working people deserve" -@sappelbaum #1u More: rwdsu.info/new_poll_77_of…
Leadership at all levels need to recommit to a minimum wage that helps Americans be self sufficient and supports families. @RepKellyCassidy @janschakowsky @afscme31 @SenatorDurbin @SenDuckworth
Unions have long stood for the #poor and the #needy As #conservatives and #billionaires try to destroy us, we must stay strong to our roots and fight for #SocialJustice for our members and communities
@afscme31 and all unions need to be like the panda. When unions hold racist members accountable for their words and actions, minority members will no longer feel second class in their own #labor movement #SystemicRacism
@ILGOP seems gung-ho to gut #pensions and pay for hard working Illinoisans. We say no, kill tax loop holes for the rich instead of hurting veterans and working families @RepKellyCassidy
Comprehensive #police reform is necessary for our members and their families. The #violence must end. Unions must add their voices to end #policeBrutality @afscme @afscme31 @RepKellyCassidy
I was deeply moved walking through the “We Miss You” memorial in Rogers Park for those who have been killed by police violence. The wall, started by the PO Box Collective and Cheap Art for Freedom, is full of names and stories spanning an entire viaduct.
#Unions need to be vocal about condemning the #PoliceBrutality and #bigotry that harms our members. We need to hold our law enforcement brothers and sisters accountable and refuse to be silent when they make all our lives more difficult @afscme @afscme31 #Labor
Anything that condemns racism, sexism, transphobia or ableism = “attack on free speech & cancel culture run amok” Police teargassing, beating, maiming, running over protesters after they’ve killed another Black person = “law and order”
Chicago Tribune has long been anti-worker
AFSCME calls out Chicago Tribune Editorial Board for demanding that Pritzker impose pay cuts on state employees: afscme31.org/news/afscme-re…
#women must be written back into #labor history. Too many unions ignore or fight against the needs of female members while giving lip service to welcoming them. Every #union especially #AFSCME needs to reaffirm embracing women as part of our history/future labornotes.org/blogs/2018/09/…
A Woman's Place is in Her Union #womensHistoryMonth #afscme #women lib.umd.edu/unions/social/…
#unionmade #madeinamerica @Walmart @SenDuckworth @SenatorDurbin @RepSchakowsky @AFSCME
Did you know, one of the last American lightbulb factories is slated to be moved overseas? We mobilized today to demand that we keep GE-Savant LED lightbulbs #MadeInAmerica and #UnionMade! Proud to support @CWAUnion and IUE-CWA workers! #1u
#women are important in labor leadership. We celebrate them in #womensHistoryMonth and every month. @CLUWNational #afscme youtu.be/4SbJr970Vck
signal boost @RepKellyCassidy @Mariafor49 #facemask #foodpantry
Please join the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce for our next protective face mask giveaway. Tuesday, March 2, 2021 12 PM - 2 PM This is in conjunction with Care for Real's weekly pop-up food pantry at the United Church of Rogers Park, 1545 West Morse Avenue.
It is time that #workers get the respect that they deserve! Shown respect with a #LivingWage #HealthCare #CollectiveBargaining #safety ✊🏽
Workers in Alabama – and all across America – are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace. It’s a vitally important choice – one that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers. Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union.
Working people deserve a minimum wage that reflects the pay they need to survive. The current "minimum wage" does not live up to why the law was originally established.
Why won't the @WhiteHouse #FightFor15 like they want to fight for Tanden?
To honor Congressman John Lewis’s birth, we must honor the cause that illuminated his life: the fight for justice grounded in the right to vote. We stand & bear witness by rejecting suppression, destroying barriers intended to push citizens out of our democracy. We fight & win.
