#FightFor15

[California Fast Food Workers Union @CAFastFoodUnion]

HAPPENING NOW: After a day of meeting with legislators and their offices and a night rallying at the California Capitol fast food workers are delivering over 50,000 postcards signed by our supporters asking @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to support #AB257 #CALeg

[Fight For 15 Chicago @chifightfor15]

#AB257 is about two things: worker power and corporate accountability.

We’re joining @FightFor15 to organize and mobilize to WIN. But, we need to make sure @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom supports the bill!

Governor: Stand with California’s Fast Food workers!

HAPPENING NOW: Fast food workers are marching on @SenBillDodd’s office.

Although hundreds of organizations have endorsed ensuring fast food workers have a seat at the table, the Senator has not yet spoken out.

We’re here to find out which side he’s on! #AB257 #CAleg

[Union of Southern Service Workers @RaiseUptheSouth]

BREAKING: @DollarGeneral workers in Holly Hill, SC are on STRIKE to protest multiple safety hazards, consistent understaffing, a worker unjustly fired, and unlivable wages. WORKERS ARE ORGANIZING. #OrganizetheSouth #UnionsforAll #PutInaTicket

[California Fast Food Workers Union @CAFastFoodUnion]

Workers from across CA have converged on Sacramento today.

Some of us are new to the fast food industry, some of us have worked in it for decades

We all recognize the reality: The rules were never written for workers like us

We need #AB257 to ensure we have a seat at the table

[California Fast Food Workers Union @CAFastFoodUnion]

Today the Senate Judiciary Committee will hear #AB257 - we call on a YES vote from @SenatorUmberg, @SenatorBorgeas, @CASenCaballero, @SenMariaEDurazo, @SenDaveCortese, @SenBobHertzberg, @SenBrianJones, @ilike_mike, @SenHenryStern, @BobWieckowskiCA, and @Scott_Wiener #CALeg

NEW: Starbucks is firing union leaders during elections for increasingly preposterous reasons.

One union leader was fired for showing up to work too early. Another was terminated after her co-worker refused to return from lunch.

The reasons only get more absurd from there.

[Fight For 15 Chicago @chifightfor15]

BREAKING: Fast food workers across CA will be on strike June 9th

AB 257 will ensure over half a million fast food workers have a seat at the table. It’s already passed the State Assembly.

CA State Senators and @CAGovernor can make history. Support #AB257!

[Fight for 15 Iowa @FightFor15IA]

It's been 12 years and counting since the last federal minimum wage raise. It's past-time to #RaiseTheWage now

[California Fast Food Workers Union @CAFastFoodUnion]

NEW report demonstrates rampant wage theft in the fast food industry:

85% of workers experienced wage theft

Nearly 1/3rd of workers reported being retaliated against asking to be paid properly, taking a sick day or asking to be paid for a sick day.

BREAKING: Workers at McD's in LA have walked off the job ON STRIKE

We told our boss we were demanding McDs fix a drainage problem making us feel sick,we were told there would be "consequences" if we strike

The biggest consequence is that McD's won't make a dime from our labor

[Sindicato de Trabajadores de Comida Rápida de CA @CAFFWUnion_SP]

BREAKING: @JackBox workers in Sacramento have walked off the job on strike

After a pregnant co-worker was threatened at gunpoint, she was told to finish her shift & her hours were cut when she refused. This is obscene.

We've filed a complaint with CalOSHA.

Companies buying their own stock was mostly illegal before 1982. Since then, companies like United Airlines have decreased the amount of revenue going to workers (from 46.5% to 20.9%), while increasing the amount going to shareholders 5x (7.3% to 38.7%) https://t.co/5BFgtIf6yI

For years, as a handful of billionaires have doubled their net worth, the working class has been feeling the squeeze. #RaisetheWage #UnionsforAll https://t.co/vOVZ1UKlHB

[Fight for 15 Iowa @FightFor15IA]

Bosses do play a risky game when they offer these low wages and long hours. #RaisetheWage

Workers at a #PoorPeopleCampaign event in NC talked about the strength of workers organizing at Amazon. It's WORKING. #poorpeoplescampaign #unionsforall
