This morning a power line in our neighborhood went down. The #PUBLIC firefighters came first to deal with the safety issue. Then the #PUBLIC utility workers came to get our power back. Efficiently, effectively and PUBLICLY. @PubInterest

"The South is the most anti-union, anti-worker region in the U.S., and the poverty here makes all modes of worker abuse possible. But I also see it as the new frontier for labor rights."

Last week JMA had its first in-person retreat since 2019! It was a great two days of connecting, reflecting and setting goals for 2023. We return to our work this week rooted in our shared values and ready to keep building worker power! ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻

JMA and a coalition of labor unions, advocacy groups and research organizations created a guide for how states and cities can turn federal dollars into good jobs for their communities!

Chipotle's CEO is "disappointed to see" that workers want to unionize.
I was disappointed to see Chipotle's thousands of child labor violations in NJ & MA (company paid $7.75M & $1.4M) & fair workweek violations in NYC ($20M settlement).
I guess we're both disappointed. (1/5)

There’s a misguided, and often xenophobic, notion that factories overseas are to blame for most worker exploitation and disappearing U.S. jobs. The truth is that these things happen right in our own backyards

BIG NEWS: @GavinNewsom just signed #SB674 into law!

All Californians deserve clean air and strong communities. With this bill now law, we’re closer than ever to making this a reality. Thank you to @SenMariaEDurazo and to all who got this bill across the finish line!

[Senator María Elena Durazo @SenMariaEDurazo]

Governor @GavinNewsom can continue to lead on this issue by ensuring these investments transform people’s lives and their communities with good jobs. SB674 would protect our investments by ensuring competitive wages in zero emission transit.

[Jobs to Move America @JobsMoveAmerica]

.@SenMariaEDurazo says it best: SB 674 is essential to creating a green economy that works for everyone, and it's sitting on @CAgovernor's desk for his signature. Tell Governor Newsom: Californians need YOU to #PassSB674! Make your voice heard here: https://t.co/eAhUsyeNsa

[Madeline Janis @MadelineJanis]

We need guv to sign bills like SB 674 & companies to negotiate & sign community benefits agreements that guarantee union neutrality! Otherwise EV factories are another version of subsidized sweat shops!

The green economy is highly subsidized & very profitable. We must demand that jobs in these existing and emerging fields are good, union jobs. Save the planet & workers!
