Markup (noun): What a corporation charges consumers on top of production costs, to generate profit.

Example: The biggest recorded year for markups was 2021.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Weird I was told wages were too high

We are angered sad to say that one of our lead union organizers, Josh Deleon, was fired last Saturday by Starbucks. We will not stand for this. More information can be found in the GroupMe description. Please share and donate in solidarity with Josh. https://t.co/w6EYaVeP8R

[Gulf Coast AFL-CIO @gcaflcio]

The workers of @SBWU_Houston are fighting hard for their union right now, and they need our support.

Thanks to @LinaHidalgoTX, @RodneyEllis & @AdrianGarciaHTX for standing with them!

NEW: The NLRB has ruled that Starbucks illegally withheld pay/benefits from workers at hundreds of unionizing stores.

It's now moving to force Starbucks to:
- Pay back 100% of the denied benefits
- Require Howard Schultz to record a video admitting the illegal action

Corporations are making record profits by price-gouging the American people and dodging their taxes.

The Inflation Reduction Act will make the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share. #TaxCorporateGreed

HOPE Members take pride in making sure Houston is safe. Five years since Hurricane Harvey and we are STILL being cheated of money to prevent future disasters. @txglo is playing with people’s lives. Do the right thing and meet the @hudgov deadline on August 26 #FundFloodJustice

PRESS RELEASE: Governor and @txglo have 48 hours to comply with @HUDgov or risk all future HUD money for Texas. Demand better for Southeast Texas! Demand better for Texans! We demand that @txglo comply! #FundFloodJustice #HurricaneHarvey

UPDATE: Chipotle must show by July 27 that shutting down a unionizing store in Maine was not an act of retaliation, the NLRB says.

Workers say they’ll keep fighting Chipotle's illegal union-busting:

“We are not quiet... They don’t have the right to manipulate us or exploit us.”

BREAKING: Chipotle is permanently closing the store in Augusta, ME where workers last month filed to form Chipotle's first union in the U.S.

Workers are rallying outside the store at 5pm today and demanding the company halt its union-busting and reopen the store.
