"The bottom line is that there are plenty of students going hungry and at all kinds of higher ed institutions. And that probably affects their schoolwork and their ability to graduate, not to mention their health."

"The @NLRB issued a rule Friday that denies teaching and research assistants at private universities legal protection to form unions, retreating from a 2016 decision that cleared the way for collective bargaining at some of the nation’s elite schools."

Everyone in America should have guaranteed access to quality, affordable healthcare and long term care. And all healthcare jobs should be good, union jobs.

Immigrant families should be welcome, safe, and free in America. Immigrant workers are powerful leaders in our union and integral to the care and service workforces in this country. Let's see which candidates echo these sentiments tonight.

We agree with @BernieSanders: every worker DOES need a living wage and we MUST expand the union movement. Every worker needs the opportunity to join a union to bargain better wages, better jobs, a better future #UnionsForAll #DemDebate
