Today the Supreme Court will take on OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma’s settlement that gives billions to opioid victims while protecting the owners of the company, the Sackler family. The Justice Department says the initial decision that protected the Sacklers is unprecedented.

"Workers are not to blame, and stores should provide security, safety protocols and training to handle irate shoppers this season as well as safe staffing levels. And shoppers need to treat workers with dignity and respect–period." #1u peoplesworld.org/article/rwdsu-…

"We didn’t get everything we wanted but we addressed every issue in some way. There’s still work to be done. The membership had high expectations and I’m proud of that. I want them to have high expectations and we’re going to build on that." freep.com/story/money/ca…

Trans workers have always been part of the labor movement and have always been fighting for broader social change. Christi Sessa, a barista and SBWU organizer from Pittsburgh, shares that story and how it fits in the broader history of the labor movement. 🧵/

While you were robbed blind at the pump this year (and GOP blamed Biden), Exxon made $55,700,000,000 in profits. Over $1 billion per week $152,600,000 per day $1,766.24 per second Congress should pass my bill to claw back Big Oil’s excess profits. - Sheldon a Whitehouse

@MorePerfectUS @UAW Their goal is an endless war, not a successful war. Here’s why Carville called the #Afghanistan War a “Wall Street Journal sponsored adventure” #WarProfiteers twitter.com/stephensemler/…

Today the @UAW announced that the union will study how U.S. workers and our economy can transition from war to peace. Weapons, munitions, and military tech is an over half-trillion dollar industry. It robs the working class to make the rich richer. That needs to change.

@TheTNHoller I feel like Elon really doesn’t know the first thing about unions. Especially if he feels they create a “lords and peasants sort of thing”. lol

The focus is on Elon telling advertisers to F off, but his comments on unions are just as absurd. Nothing has done more to fight the “Lords and Peasants sort of thing” than unions & collective bargaining.

🔥 UAW President Shawn Fain: “When 26 billionaires have as much wealth as half of humanity, that’s a crisis…It’s time, and it’s up to organized labor to lead that movement.” Who agrees? 🤚

We don’t have inflation problem. We have corporate greed problem. Corporations made $8 trillion dollars last year. Working full-time at minimum wage brings home $250 week. Top 10% own 73% of net worth. Don’t tell me we need 1% tax cuts or to cut social services to balance budgets

WATCH: @ShawnFainUAW on why he wants to organize non-union auto plants like Tesla: “The Elon Musks of the world—that's how billionaires get their money. They do it on the backs of the working class people.”

“'I would say this is the best run of wage increases won by labor since the period right after the end of World War II,' said Art Wheaton, director of labor studies at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations in Buffalo." twitter.com/greenhousenyt/…

Happy Thanksgiving from the AFL-CIO! We're thankful each and every day for our unions & working families!

A rising tide should lift all boats, not just yachts. #UnionsForAll

This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for all of our AFGE members, leaders, activists, and staff across the federation. As we reflect on our accomplishments this year, let's also get prepared for the fight ahead! Happy Thanksgiving, AFGE family!

If inflation comes up at the dinner table tonight, don’t forget to draw attention to the deeper structural driver of inflation: the concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to raise prices, even as they rake in record profits.

LAST WEEK IN SOUTHERN LABOR 💥 AL prison guard accused of encouraging murder of prison striker 💥 @IAFFofficial wins 9 YRS backpay for WV firefighters 💥 @Teamsters kill healthcare tiers, win retiree benefits reinstatement @ Anheiser 💥 5k strong @SBWorkersUnited strike 💥 &MORE

A resurgent trade union movement is fighting back against corporate greed and has won major raises for nearly a million US workers this year. Yes. When workers stand together and fight for economic justice there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

Throwback Thursday to SBWU’s largest ever action 🥳 We went on strike at over 200 stores! And our allies hosted 500 additional events and made 5,000 calls telling @Starbucks to STOP understaffing, STOP stalling, and START bargaining!✊

"The United Auto Workers have won a signal victory in their strike against the Big 3 Automakers. It’s easily the most important strike win since the 1997 Teamsters strike." - @dskamper forgeorganizing.org/article/strike…

#EndTheGroceryTax: Rep. @AftynBehn and Sen. @CharlaneOliver will introduce legislation to eliminate Tennessee’s regressive tax on grocery shopping. Tennessee is one of only 13 states that still tax unprepared food. wsmv.com/2023/11/20/roo…
