Robert Reich How Corporations Crush the Working Class | Robert Reich

Corporate America’s playbook:

1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Striking is a sacred right — solidarity with all workers currently on strike. No contract, no peace!

Guys nothing happened.

However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent

Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

California reaches deal with Uber, Lyft to allow gig worker unions The deal brings Uber and Lyft on board with a pathway to unionization for ride-hailing workers after the companies spent years fighting against the idea.

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions.

This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

On a red and blue background with stars. In white font: SAG-AFTRA. Happy Labor Day!

This #LaborDay weekend, take time to recharge and rest while knowing you're part of an important and crucial fight! Enjoy the holiday. Created by unions, powered by workers. #UnionStrong

Not enough folks are connecting the attacks on labor organizing over the last 50 years to the moment we find ourselves in.

Labor is now our ONLY organizing asset that still has power & possibility of turning this ship in a different direction

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler on tariff announcement.

Strategic use of tariffs can be an effective tool to support industries & protect jobs. But they must be accompanied by policies that invest in our manufacturing base & a strong commitment to promoting workers’ fundamental right to bargain collectively.

The President’s recent executive order gutting collective bargaining rights for federal workers is union-busting.

If he can do this to federal workers with the stroke of a pen, he can do it to every worker in America.

What Is a Strike Authorization Vote? - ElectionBuddy More than fourteen million Americans are members of a union of some sort, ranging from education, transportation, and government to healthcare, construction, and more.  A union presents a collective t...

Unions don't call for strike authorization votes for the approval of the employer, we do it for the approval of the members who would strike! electionbuddy.com/blog/2022/11...

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

It's official: our members have overwhelmingly authorized a strike vote.

We are united and prepared to do what it takes to fight for our first contract. We're done playing around with Microsoft.

Hands off! Union contracts.

On April 5th, America’s unions are coming together with allies of labor at events across the country to send a message: #HandsOff our unions and our contracts!

Headline that reads: "Trump administration moves to end union rights at many federal agencies."

Gutting union rights for federal workers is an attack on the people who protect our food, care for our veterans, and serve our communities.

Under this administration, no union contract is safe.

👀 Keep your eyes open for some exciting news.

The administration’s executive order is punishment for the unions leading the fight against the administration’s illegal actions.

Under this administration, no union contract in America is safe - but the labor movement will not be silenced.

Microsoft Romania signs first-ever collective labour agreement, securing worker protections Workers at Microsoft Romania have signed their first-ever collective labour agreement (CBA), securing stronger rights, protections, and benefits through union representation for over 1,500 employees.

America’s unions will always fight to keep billionaire’s hands off the essential services that working people rely on every day, including the U.S. Postal Service.

We say HELL NO to dismantling USPS!

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

It's been a blast talking to so many video game workers (and new UVW-CWA members!) about what we've been cooking 🔥 #GDC2025

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.
