For Washington workers struggling to afford housing, health care, and basic needs, our tax code isn’t working. But we have a way to push with the Millionaires Tax.

In Washington, we can say NO to surveillance pricing – and we should.

Guess who supports a millionaires tax? Republicans, WA poll finds A proposed state income tax on million-dollar earners in Washington is broadly popular, an independent poll has found. Even, surprisingly, among self-identified Republicans.

A new poll about the proposed Millionaires Tax shows that members of ALL parties want the super rich to pay more in taxes!

🎙️ Thanks to the Monthly Labor Report for having me on to talk about striking!

This is why we need unions – and why unions need to practice striking.

No more business as usual.

Workers get it – the system isn’t designed for us.

Billionaires and corporations lobby for tax cuts while the rest of us are just trying to get by.

Whether it’s a 1 minute strike, a 1 hour strike, or a 1 day strike, you need to be practicing striking.

Tax cuts for them, healthcare cuts for us.

The system isn’t designed for us.

It’s time for a general strike.

Tonight! Join the kickoff call: maydaystrong.org

It takes about 18 months for a fascist state to take over.

We are 9 months in.

My new piece is published in Fourth Wave: “This especially hurts women who make up the majority of our nursing workforce.”

It’s important to understand just how rich billionaires really are.

Hah!

My new op-ed on layoffs ⬇️

“...the real driver behind layoffs is the corporate pursuit of higher profits for shareholders and big pay outs for millionaire executives.”

REMINDER: Starbucks workers are still on strike.

Don’t cross the picket line!

Spoiler alert: It's working on behalf of workers.

Here's what a day in my life looks like as President of UFCW 3000.

When we can see that we're all good people, it's harder to divide us.

How can workers organize and build power without a union?

Let's talk.

UFCW 3000 represents 5000 nurses.

To disincentive young people from going into an essential, highly skilled profession like nursing is lunacy.

You're not a "success" if you exploit your workers.

I want my old QFC and my old Fred Meyer back!

We need to reverse consolidate.

Textbook corporate greed.

Corporate consolidation hurts all of us.

This is how big businesses rewrite the rules for themselves. Unions are how the rest of us fight back.

Break up the monopolies.

More monopolies = higher prices for all of us.

Time to tax billionaires and break up the monopolies.
