A new report from @EconomicPolicy finds that tripling union membership would put $1.2 TRILLION a year back into the pockets of working people.
That would reverse a third of the rise in income inequality since 1979.

Embassy Suites workers like Cara have been on strike now for more than 3 weeks, and they'll stay on the line until the bosses acknowledge the respect, pay, and dignity that the workers deserve!
“To be named the No. 1 Domestic Airport in back-to-back years is a testament to the dedicated work of all employees at PVD... .” - Iftikhar Ahmad, CEO & president of RI Airport Corp.

From @Bloomberg: World travel is on the rise with international arrivals at a 10% average. But U.S. numbers have decreased.
"Trump's Slump" isn't bad luck, It's policy. White House immigration policy is making America inhospitable, and hospitality workers are paying the price.
📢📢 Rally at NOON TODAY!!
Nurses, home care workers, and clinicians around greater Boston will be picketing all weekend to demand a fair contract for each other and their patients. Join them and tell hospital CEOs to put people over profits! @MassNurses
Local 26 was proud to stand with our union siblings @MassNurses from Brigham and Women's Hospital yesterday. Our nurses do essential work & deserve the dignity & respect of a strong contract bargained in good faith. We’re ready to fight alongside them until they win just that.
Support @MassNurses: join a picket line tomorrow! 🪧🪧🪧
"The nurses association has said nurses are struggling while 14 current and former MGB executives received a combined $35.9 million in compensation in fiscal 2024."

More than 4,500 Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses are expected to begin a strike on July 8, according to the Massachusetts Nurses Association.
It would be the largest nurse and healthcare professional strike in Massachusetts history.
On July 4th, as the country celebrated its 250th birthday, @hyattregency Cambridge workers leafletted outside the property.
Workers are asking customers, companies & the community not to eat, sleep, or meet in the hotel until they have a fair process to decide on unionization.
@laborontheline@UNITEHERE26 solidarity from a heat transfer nerd, two years no raise while everything got more expensive is wild, hope they get what they're owed
After 9 days on strike, the Sheraton Downtown joins six other union hotels in winning a minimum wage of $30 for non-tipped workers by 2028 💪 #OneJobShouldBeEnough
.@DavidMoralesPVD has shown up in solidarity with workers, whether at Butler Hospital, with home child care providers, or alongside food service workers at TF Green Airport. That speaks volumes.
Incumbent Providence Mayor Brett Smiley didn't show support for any of them.
Local 26 is proud to endorse these leaders who move Massachusetts forward every day.

My friends Michael, Jen & JoAnn work at the Federal Hill Tavern at T.F. Green airport, where I grab lunch before flying to DC each week.
They & their @UNITEHERE26 colleagues have been working without a contract for a year. Unacceptable! Their employer, Grove Bay, must do better.
Proudly standing with @UNITEHERE26 on the picket line at TF Green. Yesterday, I learned this is the union’s first strike since 1979. Despite many, reasonable efforts for a fair wage, Unite Here members still do not have a contract. It’s time they do.
