This is interesting — rail workers are planning informational pickets before and after work on Wednesday. As I keep saying, for rail workers, this thing isn’t close to over.

Fun fact: Bernie's Windfall Profits Tax would raise over $400 billion from corporations making record profits by gouging consumers at the gas pump, grocery store & other sectors of the economy - enough to give every working class person in America more than $1,000.

There’s been a story floating around Twitter about progressive orgs. I’ll keep my thoughts brief, anti-union employers will come up with any reason not to work with their staff union, but we are prepared to meet them at the bargaining table to create better, more effective orgs.
