FAIRWASHING ALERT: The @MSCbluefish ecolabel is seen as the "gold standard" for sustainable seafood, but it currently allows companies to avoid accountability for worker exploitation in certified fisheries.

Gracias, presidente.

When consumers purchase "sustainable" MSC-labeled tuna, they SHOULD reasonably expect that the product is free from human & labor rights abuses. A new report by Katrina Nakamura in @Nature suggests otherwise.

#BREAKING: New research finds that tuna vessels using forced labor are hiding under the Marine Stewardship Council's ecolabel, which is the world’s most recognized ecolabel for sustainable seafood. Read: https://t.co/R5RSxESQjc

The coveted 'Marine Stewardship Council' (MSC) label is familiar to many shoppers - it's supposed to give a guarantee that fish is sustainably caught.

New research shows it's failing to protect fishers from forced labour.

You know you're anti-worker when your catchphrase is "You're fired!"

We loved watching you win gold @USWNTPlayers! Here are some women who are also trying to win for themselves and their families. They make @Nike gear and they are calling on the company to ensure living wages for workers. Can you share their story?

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

VP Harris made an excellent choice with our union brother @Tim_Walz, who was a Minnesota public school teacher for 20 years!

Thrilled to continue working with you both to make our unions and working families stronger. Let’s get to work for Harris-Walz!

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

Last year, I wrote a big story about how Minnesota's pro-worker Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota's Democratic legislature enacted arguably the most pro-worker package of legislation that any American state had enacted in decades.

We’re proud to see women across U.S. labor standing with our garment worker sisters in the @Nike supply chain. We’re united to fight for a living wage, and this is just the beginning!

Seven major labor unions, representing nearly 6 million workers, sent a joint letter to President Biden calling on the administration to halt all military aid to Israel and to work toward an “immediate and permanent ceasefire.

This is huge. Working people support a ceasefire.

Volkswagen employees made history with a landslide victory in Tennessee.

This isn't just a win for workers in Chattanooga. It is a beacon of hope for the labor movement across this country.

When we stand together, we win. Solidarity forever.
