New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

New Mexico made child care free for most families. Believe it or not, the good thing is good.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

DHS moves to end collective bargaining for TSA officers The Department of Homeland Security announced plans “ending collective bargaining” for TSA’s transportation screening officers in a press release today.

I helped organize 42,000 TSA workers and I negotiated the first contract. The DHS announcement is full of lies. Ultimately, they want to break the system to justify privatizing it. For-profit airport security is what failed on 9/11.

Tell Delaware North: Reinstate this courageous survivor's job & let workers organize! We are appalled, but not surprised given how pervasive sexual harassment and abuse are in the restaurant industry. Julie Ruiz, who worked at Pizza Ponte at Disney Springs in Florida, and her coworker,...

Sign and stand with workers against sexual harassment in the restaurant industry! Delaware North must take action after sexual harassment allegations!

This was one of the most appalling stories I’ve ever looked into: A private equity termite rolled up the fire-truck manufacturing industry between 2016 and 2020, and has spent the last 5 years cashing in—contributing to a crisis of preparedness at fire departments around the country.

“A Strike Song (VirginLV)" - A parody of Shaboozey’s song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)"
YouTube video by Culinary Union “A Strike Song (VirginLV)" - A parody of Shaboozey’s song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)"

Striking hotel workers at Virgin Las Vegas are calling on superstar Shaboozey to cancel his Dec. 11th show—and recorded their own (fantastic) version of his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” to get his attention.

“Solidarity, respect
We ain’t scabbin’ for a check”

People are disappointed that the guy was just doing it for weirdo reasons and not because of class consciousness but the class consciousness was literally the friends we made along the way. It was everyone in america saying that dickhead deserved it. It was us all along.

As Florida's former Attorney General, Bondi took no formal action to hold employers responsible for violating Florida's minimum wage when she was the only state official authorized to do so www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Pretty good account to follow if your interests include: the experience of hope, the possibility of a better world, not giving in to the will of billionaires, things of that nature!

There was no mandate for Trump. There was no red shift. There was only a blue abandonment The real mandate is for Democrats to stand for a fairer economy.

I do think that to win elections, the Democrats need to take up one strategy that they have been averse to: naming their voters’ enemies.
