The rich and powerful on all sides of the aisle really do not care about our well-being.

Organize with your coworkers and other working class citizens.

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Why are we wasting vaccinations on Texas if Texas has decided to join the side of the virus?

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

@TXRestAssoc @GovAbbott lol we already know you don't care about restaurant workers don't worry

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

Cause our governor and owners sure aren't gonna do anything to help us

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

He really doesn't care if you or I die lmaooooooo

If you're a restaurant worker in Texas, now, as always, would be a great time to join @DemSocialists and the Restaurant Organizing Project

[Abolish the 12s, from DC to Palestine @laborisforever]

It’s wild that people leave masks on their tables at restaurants. Today I had to pick up three masks at work because patrons left them behind. This only makes my job even more unsanitary and dangerous than it already is.

If unionizing wasn't effective they wouldn't try and stop it from happening so often!

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Say it with us. Union busting is disgusting!

@ElArroyo_ATX Remember when you guys pushed back against city curfews to further endanger your guests and staff?

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

Yup

[autumn cs @Akitron]

If you call anyone who works in fast food “just a burger flipper” or they just “pour coffee” you can’t use those services anymore sorry but it’s illegal for you to do it until you get a fucking grip

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

@TXRestAssoc Hmmm... Nothing in here about more workers organizing together? Bet.

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

Oh and our own @lua21 gets quoted here too!

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

"Congress plans to fork over $120 billion to restaurant owners and just hope they save the industry"

In case anyone was under the illusion our government was looking out for us restaurant laborers.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

We can’t trust restaurant owners and their investors with trickle-down relief. We need a relief bill that puts restaurant workers first. https://t.co/tDcI03pFzs

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

In case it wasn't abundantly clear: @GregAbbott_TX and @TXRestAssoc do not care about Texas Restaurant workers.

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

Beyond any of our socialist principles, subjecting your guests to a deadly respiratory virus completely flies in the face of the concept of hospitality. Completely shameful.

[Texas Restaurant Organizing Project @OrganizingTexas]

Astounded and disappointed by these Austin businesses so flagrantly prioritizing profits over the safety of their staff and guests. At least they put their names on it. @ElArroyo_ATX @vysteakhouse @SpeakEasyAustin

Almost as if working in restaurants is dignified and meaningful work filled with laborers who are entitled to everything they create!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling
