An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.
A billionaire does.

- The @BCTGM Kellogg's strike is over. Working people stood their ground, and working people won. The new contract includes: NO permanent two-tier wage system, a significant increase in pensions, cost of living raises, and more. ✊
- Kelloggs is trying to replace 1400 striking workers. Millennials & Gen Z flooded the jobs postings with fake applications and crashed the system. This is what solidary looks like. #StrikeMas #1u
- Talk about your salary. Question mistreatment in the workplace. Know you deserve dignity and respect on the job and have the power to organize your coworkers. All union drives begin with a conversation!
- The right to strike is on trial today at the U.S. Supreme Court. For nearly a century, federal law has protected workers’ right to strike in order to improve their wages, hours and working conditions.
- An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.
- I am humbled, honored and ready to guide this federation forward. I believe in my bones the labor movement is the single greatest organized force for progress.
- .@AOC on @Morning_Joe: “Millennials & Gen Z should be the most unionized generations in US history.” 100%! Our young workers deserve a voice on the job & an economy that works for them. Let’s make it happen! ✊
- For the first time in modern history, a sitting United States President is going to walk a picket line. This is a historic moment of solidarity and a new dawn of the American labor movement. Thank you @POTUS! #StandUpUAWTuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create. It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.
- Student loan payments are set to restart in less than a month. @POTUS, the clock is ticking. It's time to #CancelNotCollect student debt.
- Today's @USDOL proposed overtime protections ensure workers who make less than $55,068 are automatically eligible for overtime—a major victory for working people that will improve the lives of millions of families across America!
- Thank you, Ralph Nader, for mansplaining my job to me.Ralph Nader releases an angry letter to Liz Shuler saying she reneged on doing cool Labor Day activities because the AFL-CIO is too beholden to the Democratic Party and its "corporate-conflicted political/ media consultants." A deep cut for labor feud connoisseurs.
- After more than a month on strike, @UAW workers at John Deere have won a contract with a 10% raise, 2 subsequent 5% raises, cost-of-living adjustments, an $8,500 ratification bonus for each worker, and more. There is power in a union. #Strikesgiving
