As we transition from #BlackHistoryMonth to #WomensHistoryMonth, we want to thank Dorothy Bolden for igniting 80 years of organizing that has culminated in the introduction of a National #DomesticWorkersBillofRights.

HMSHost @Starbucks baristas are organizing to join in union to end mistreatment & poverty, but @HMSHost fired 2 #Starbucks baristas last week. Starbucks: demand that HMSHost fix its airport Starbucks stores and make one job at Starbucks enough to live on. #RespectAtStarbucks

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Raising the #minimumwage + expanding the #EITC would raise incomes, reduce poverty & improve health outcomes. New @EconomicPolicy & @IRLEUCB paper on why these programs work best together: https://t.co/L1IM3H2y4E #RaisetheWage #workingfamilytaxcredits

[Fight for a Union @FightForAUnion]

Corporations like @McDonalds keep millions of families trapped in poverty with substandard wages while execs take home millions.

Too many workers are called "independent contractors" when they're actually employees and deserve rights like minimum wage protection.

The #PROAct fixes this problem! Tell your Representative to VOTE YES Today: 888-848-4824 #FightFor15

[Sara Nelson @FlyingWithSara]

The #PROAct removes barriers for workers to form unions, protects strikers, helps lock in first union contracts, and a lot more. The House is voting this week. I called yesterday & calling today too. Join me.
☎️ 1-888-966-9836 - vote YES for the PRO Act to protect workers! #1u

Let’s start off #BlackHistoryMonth with the facts: Black women raised America.

[Rakeen Mabud @rakeen_mabud]

In @MsMagazine, @RebeccaDNELP and I write about why we need a clean slate for worker justice, such as that put forth by @LWPHarvard -- and how such an approach must proactively acknowledge and correct for racial and gendered hierarchies in our society.

Trump's new #jointemployer rule creates an incentive for large corporations to outsource work to staffing companies or subcontractors and escape responsibility for complying with basic workplace protections. https://t.co/HGmwC4SWd1

[Jobs With Justice @jwjnational]

Yet another huge company deciding to spend money trying to stop working people from joining in union, rather than investing that money in the workers that make the business what it is. https://t.co/tXgMRmhNX7

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

📣BIG WIN: NJ state legislature approves Guaranteed Severance Pay Bill!

If signed by @GovMurphy, NJ will be the first state in the country to hold employers accountable in this way.

Reality of the labor market: we're overworked and underpaid. Unions ensure all of us get a living wage, healthcare, and the ability to invest in their future. Join the movement! #Unionsforall

[RWDSU @RWDSU]

Over 700 members @Local338 members at 15 Morton Williams Supermarket locations across New York City recently secured a great new five-year contract! The grocery workers won annual wage increases and an extra week of vacation. Great news!

[Fight for a Union @FightForAUnion]

.@McDonalds business model is an attack on workers, our families, and our communities. We're fighting back. #FightFor15

[Make the Road NY 🦋 @MaketheRoadNY]

.@NYGovCuomo is right on gig economy workers: They are workers, not independent contractors.

Now it’s time to implement the ABC test and say, once and for all: #thegigisup! #SOTS2020
