🚂🚂🚂 TWU Amtrak on-board workers just won the largest raises in @Amtrak history, with wages rising 34%. “Amtrak workers are a critical part of our nation’s transportation system. This contract advances their economic security and includes quality-of-life wins” @twusamuelsen

Women should have autonomy over their own bodies. This is about freedom. This is what’s at stake in November.

The Southern economic system is built to exploit workers while benefiting the wealthy and powerful. The rules need to be rewritten to unrig the system. #OrganizeTheSouth

Normalize a living wage!

[SEIU @SEIU]

It’s not radical to believe every worker deserves a living wage! It's human.

Let’s normalize the idea of workers being respected, protected and paid!

Fund childcare. Make these good jobs.

At the end of June, daycares across North Carolina will lose millions of dollars in funding. Congress's funding cliff could force some facilities to close, which would impact local families as well as businesses. #SolveChildCare

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

If your employer has a written policy that forbids you from discussing your pay with coworkers, you can report them to the National Labor Relations Board.

Because that’s illegal.

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

80%, that’s right. 8 - 0, of U.S. voters support a tax hike on corporations that pay their CEO 50X more than their median employee.

Abortion is healthcare; women, especially those in underserved communities, will die if it is “eradicated.”

We just won a battle to get federal staffing standards for nursing homes - now, some members of Congress are trying to not only block the effort, but make it ILLEGAL. #SafeStaffingSavesLives

It’s not inflation; it’s #greedflation. Price hikes are a DIRECT result of corporate greed.

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

Governors should be champions for the working folks, not corporate interests. When elected officials imply that workers banning together will cost jobs, they are silencing the very people they should be protecting! #UnionsForAll

My statement: https://t.co/kKEuEtAizl

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

Today's SCOTUS ruling adds one more way the rules are rigged against workers to allow corporate union busting. @SEIU won’t stop until we win new rules that ensure every worker can join a union without having to walk through a gauntlet of hate, hostility & harassment.

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

Unions are defined by their intersectionality. A better world for workers is a better world for all. 🌎

Climate crisis, healthcare, racial justice—our battles are many, but so is our strength. ThisUnion is committed to fighting on all fronts.

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

When MAGA groups and politicians attack our reproductive freedom, they attack entire families--their educational outcomes and economic mobility. We won’t stop fighting until everyone has access to the reproductive care they need and deserve.

[April Verrett @aprildverrett]

As the leader of the largest union of healthcare & service workers with a majority female membership, I'm relieved that SCOTUS did not restrict the availability of mifepristone for medication abortion. This ruling is even more important in light of the disastrous Dobbs decision.
