Across the nation, public employees make sure that kids eat. That safe water comes out of our taps. That unemployment claims are processed. That 911 calls are answered. This work is often taken for granted – but it is work that sustains our livelihoods. https://t.co/pyLSFxWxI4

Having a union is critical now more than ever. There are more than 4,000 graduate students working at UMD and their union still hasn't been legally recognized. They deserve representation just like the rest of UMD staff.

[Fight for a Union @FightForAUnion]

Rita is right. @McDonalds is putting workers’ lives at risk from Covid-19 while paying poverty wages. We’re fighting back for respect, dignity and justice.

“There are many smaller companies going out of business as we speak,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association (@SEIA). “Up to half our jobs are at risk.” https://t.co/OujfaRUwky

Front-line public service workers are risking their lives under the most difficult possible conditions. Believe it or not, many are being thanked with layoffs. Tell Congress to #fundthefrontlines before it’s too late.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our meeting tonight! We meet every Tuesday at 6pm on Zoom.

While much of the country is in quarantine, millions of health care workers, bus drivers, grocery workers, postal workers, etc. are still hard at work. They do work that allows so many of us to keep safe from COVID-19. Help protect them by making the #pledgetostayhome!

[MaryPIRG Labor UMD @MaryPIRGLabor]

We are joining in PIRG's national #pledgetostayhomecampaign -- protect yourself, protect your community, and spend more time with your pets.
