Hmm I wonder what labor reporting looks like when the paper is owned by the richest man in the world...

Oh dear

Pay people a livable wage.

This ain't a difficult concept.

A study found that Hoosiers need to earn $19 an hour in order to afford a 2-bedroom apartment. But the average Hoosier's pay falls well short as wages in Indiana continue to lag behind a rising cost of living.

BREAKING: At least 102 children as young as 13 were found working overnight shifts, using hazardous chemicals, and cleaning brisket saws at 13 plants in eight states.

The U.S. Department of Labor has fined Packers Sanitation Services $1.5 million for these egregious violations.

Anyone who works at the same place for 30 years deserves a pension. Not $300.

BASED.

Way to lead, ladies. We're proud that you're representing the Hoosier state. 👏

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Free these heroes!!

[Bloomington DSA 🌹 @BloomingtonDSA]

Objectively, a good FIRST step.

But you don't get applause for doing the bare minimum.

Police are still an overt threat to citizens across the country, w/ their excessive-force training and hyper-militarization.

#DefundThePolice and #InvestInCommunities instead.

UPDATE: Nearly all UPS drivers in southern and northern CA have been informed by the Teamsters that they can refuse to deliver packages to the U of California during the strike.

Teamsters confirmed. This will likely to have some impact on the U.C. system

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.

It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.

Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.
