So, a Trumper GOP Congressman apparently doesn’t think Julie Su should be the next Labor Secretary. I’m shocked that an elitist, faux-populist who has never done a thing for workers in his entire career has that view. We disagree:
If you are an elected official in CA and you care about organized labor, you should not be speaking on UC campuses, classes or events while UAW is on strike. Don’t cross the picket line.
The @DalaiLama sums up how technology SHOULD be used in the workplace. Workers must be at the table for the development, deployment, & use of tech to benefit them. Otherwise it will just exacerbate existing exploitation if bosses control it. @CaliforniaLabor @CalTeamstersPAC
I’m still completely outraged that @ShawnKumagai supporters (realtors & developers) mailed a hit piece out against @LizForAssembly that included her home address on it! This type of intimidation targeted at an unapologetic Latina doesn’t belong in politics. Why so much silence?
From the workplace to the streets and all the way to Sacramento, workers are organizing for power. We thank Gov. Newsom for recognizing that.
When workers organize, we win. As the 2022 Legislative Session ends, some incredible highlights: 1/
THANK YOU @SenToniAtkins (and @cdiaz916!) and @CAgovernor for acknowledging and appreciating the sacrifice made by firefighters everyday. This will go a long way in getting our members access to timely medical treatment!
The right to unionize without intimidation or deportation isn’t just a California issue. It isn’t just a UFW issue. It’s a national issue that unites all of our unions. @GavinNewsom can still be our hero. Sí, Se Puede!
Today's decision is a crucial step in ensuring all Starbucks workers can exercise their right to join together to improve working conditions & form a union. Employers should take note that the NLRB will continue to protect workers' right to organize. https://t.co/vQEmS5t5HQ
Holding the line one day at a time, and we will always stand ONE DAY LONGER! 🎵 We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old for the UNION makes us strong! #WarriorMetStrike#picketline#solidarity
“Misclassification is a common issue typically associated with workers in the gig economy, truck drivers, janitors, and security guards, but isn’t talked about enough in the agricultural industry.” #AB5 @UCMercedCLC

Misclassification happens in every industry, #AB5 & it’s presumption of employment is helping to right the wrongs: Landmark labor decision could have ‘profound’ impact on California agricultural industry https://t.co/5fh8qHexIB
David Crane has proven himself to be one of the most anti-union players in CA politics. Now, he wants to control the Assembly.
End of the day, actions speak louder than $$. But, rest assured, more than 2 million union members will be watching closely. https://t.co/wXUotosNZv
“UPS execs sit inside their air-conditioned, C-suite offices all day while UPS Teamsters endure some of the most intense weather conditions imaginable, & this corporation needs to own up for what it is or isn't doing to protect these workers.” - Gen. President Sean M. O’Brien 2/3
