Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga made history when they won a landslide victory to join the UAW in April! Now an important question is posed for the labor movement: what would it take to turn union popularity to union density, especially in the south? https://t.co/NKdBv1egor
Brand NEW episode! https://t.co/ydX5Pm2i7m
Exclusive interview with left, antiwar Presidential candidate @DrJillStein about what it will take to end the war on Gaza.
Supporting Democratic candidates, like the warmonger-in-chief Biden, as the supposed lesser evil is a failed strategy. Working people and the antiwar movement also cannot have illusions in Trump or RFK Jr.
Working and young people need to build for the largest possible vote for the antiwar campaigns of Jill Stein and Cornel West this November, as a step towards building a new antiwar party for the working class.
'Unions need to rescind their endorsements of Biden, and those who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people shouldnt vote for either Biden or Trump this fall but join the fight for a new political party that represents the interests of working people, youth, and students.'
It's crucial @UAW Prez @ShawnFainUAW is condemning repression & mass arrests of antiwar protesters on campuses.
Now's the time for Brother Fain & UAW leaders to rescind the endorsement of Biden, the warmonger-in-chief.
The labor movement needs to say NO to both Biden & Trump.
Reject both the warmongering parties of US imperialism and the billionaire class. Vote for @DrJillStein or @CornelWest this year, as a step towards building a new party for the working class and against war.
In 2014, union members & Socialist Alternative launched the 15 Now movement alongside my socialist City Council office and won the $15/hour minimum wage.
Today, Seattle's minimum wage rises to $19.97 for most workers, the HIGHEST in the United States.

Finally, under pressure from anti-war protests & Nov 7 resolution from our office, some Seattle Dems are forced to join ceasefire call. Now, let's demand they vote YES on my Nov 21 resolution, for cease-fire & ALSO an end to US funding to Israeli state.

The Democrats are backing the massacre in Gaza, even progressive Dems like Sanders. Rashida Tlaib is the only one to take a clear position against the slaughter, but the Democrats voted to censure her for her stance. We need a new party for working people, not for the warmongering billionaires.

Over 30,000 veterans of post-9/11 conflicts have died by suicide – 4x the amount of those who died in actual combat in those wars.
But the ruling class will only continue to put millions of young people at the front line of the bloody madness of the new age. #VeteransDay2023
Yesterday, Amazon management came out SEVEN TIMES to harass workers for building our union. They don’t like that we’re gaining momentum & asking co-workers what Amazon should do w/ $10B in Q3 profits.
Call & email: HELP FIGHT AMAZON’S UNION BUSTING!! 👉https://t.co/ksvzHt4Dxb
“It’s a farce” “The economy is going great if you don’t buy food, or pay for housing or gas.” - That’s what ordinary people think about “Bidenomics.”

Watch the episode & subscribe to On Strike for the truth behind @JoeBiden’s smoke and mirrors on housing affordability, greedflation, and wages.
Many of the workers who make Amazon’s largest Air Hub run day and night are not confident English speakers. Despite this, and despite the fact that working with planes requires clear safety policies, nearly all work-related communication is English only. 🧵https://t.co/5MwuWIpcVA
Yesterday the Biden administration, which claims to support LGBTQ people, opened the door to wide-ranging bans on trans students participating in school sports. Let's be clear: this is a capitulation to the right wing & an attack on trans people carried out by the Democrats.
Republican "trans sports bans" have passed in 18 states, even though no one's asking for them. As this continues at an alarming pace, how can students and teachers fight back? https://t.co/5j2eb4y4j9
Politicians in both major parties have guzzled campaign $$$ from Norfolk Southern for years. If we're going to beat this corporation, we can't rely on big money politicians on either side of the aisle. https://t.co/GmpyAJA29P
On Jan 17, Amazon fired Edward Clarke, a union organizer at the KCVG Air Hub in KY. Within days, Amazon fired at least 5 other union supporters. We need to fight this union busting!
