“I came to @Starbucks for the amazing benefits & values. What I got was health insurance I can’t afford & an unpredictable schedule that I can’t budget a life on. My coworkers & I decided that...we needed to invest in ourselves & formed a union,” Amanda Rivera, @Starbucks worker.

Big #Fashion companies, like @Nike, are reporting RECORD 📈 revenue & profits, which they funnel to their investors through stock buybacks & dividends, while most garment workers have not received pandemic backpay & are in permanent crisis. 2/2

“Instead of rewarding us w/ a living wage & affordable healthcare, @Maximus_news poured profits into execs & shareholders. From 2020-22, they spent $266 MIL on stock buybacks & paid $207 MIL in dividends,” said Lakeisha Preston, @CWAUnion member @ Maximus Call Centers in MS.

"Big corps exacerbate economic inequality & the racial wealth gap through constant & large-scale use of stock buybacks, which benefit corporate execs & wealthy shareholders @ the expense of workers, communities, & the planet," said Natalia Renta w/@RealBankReform

[Global Labor Justice Archived @GLJhub]

“In 2023, corps. are set to buy back more than $1 TRILLION of their stock while workers in the U.S. & around the world struggle to make ends meet. I introed the #RewardWorkAct to reign in corporate greed & invest in workers throughout the global supply chain," said @RepChuyGarcia

We stand in solidarity with workers & urge the Sri Lankan government to change course. As the letter states, labor rights must be protected, and unions should be partners in economic, social, and political recovery and renewal. @ILAW_Network

[ILAWnetwork @ILAW_Network]

In the name of modernization, the Govt of Sri Lanka has introduced a draft labor law aimed at the radical reduction of the fundamental rights of workers. In a letter sent today, the ILAW Network outlines some of the issues and calls on the Govt to change course. Full letter at: https://t.co/SIhx1qHNzF @ilo @GLJhub @ituc @itucasiapacific
