[Acting Secretary Julie Su @ActSecJulieSu]

Normalize talking to your coworkers about your wages, even if your boss says otherwise (because it’s legal).

[Rob Dorans @RobDorans]

We are also having @OhioState Center on Education and Training for Employment study how we spend these grants and their impact on residents. This will help us identity how we can better support our neighbors in finding a better career to support their families.

[Rob Dorans @RobDorans]

On Monday @ColumbusCouncil voted to invest $2 million into the creation of #Career500, a new grant workforce development grant program in collaboration with ASPRY, formerly known as the Workforce Development Board of Central Ohio.

[Rob Dorans @RobDorans]

The grant program will help to expand existing high preforming workforce programs that are helping residents find a better paying career. We are aiming to serve at least 500 residents over the next two years.

[Columbus City Council @cbuscitycouncil]

President Pro Tem @RobDorans is proud to sponsor Career500, a $2 million workforce development grant program. With local job growth expected to be twice that of other Midwest cities, this program will allow residents to gain skills they need to succeed in our growing economy.

Frances Perkins was a trailblazer who revolutionized workers' rights– securing Social Security, the minimum wage, and banning child labor.

We're calling for a national monument to honor her legacy. It’s time she gets the recognition she deserves.

King Avenue serves as a vital connection between neighborhoods and local businesses, but the railroad bridge and multiple road crossings pose safety challenges. President Pro Tem @RobDorans shares how LinkUS aims to make this area more walkable and accessible for residents.

[Rob Dorans @RobDorans]

Thousands more workers and their families across our country now have a shot at the American dream because of benefits of joining a union. Love to see it. #1u #UnionYes

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.

A billionaire does.

Hope y’all had a great Labor Day. @PolicyMattersOH celebrated by releasing our annual State of Working Ohio report. Come along for some highlights & a link to @HannahHalbert’s report.

To absolutely no one’s surprise… corporate price gouging is the biggest driver of inflation.
