The @MineWorkers at Warrior Met Coal in Alabama have now been on strike 365 days, a full year.Why? Because we refuse to be exploited any longer.We refuse to do the same labor as other mines in the area for less pay and fewer benefits.We will stay on the line as long as it takes.
Thread: 48 hours since these parents of @officialSCUSD students began an sit-in at the district office. This group (IG: saccityparents4progress) is staying put until the district acts in good faith bargaining and comes to a fair agreement with @SacTeachers and @seiu1021. (1)
@TonyThurmond Love to hear of those great plans…too bad @GavinNewsom is not giving us the per pupil funding necessary to do it, despite all the prop 98 ongoing $
@prisonculture Sorry, I just meant that my finger goes to the retweet button without me thinking…and now I realize I screenshot your tweet in the background *facepalm*
Against nearly impossible odds, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), an independent union, is on the verge of winning the first NLRB union election at an Amazon warehouse in the US.

you know what’s funny about this situation is that we predicted all of this all of those who’s doubted us ignored us canceled us not supported us for 11 whole months and if you think none of that went un-noticed you’re sadly mistaken you should feel bad that’s all I’m a say
The well-to-do really don’t understand that a job is meaningless if you still can’t afford to live. What’s the value of that? Spending your hours working to make someone else wealthy while you barely survive? The economy is more than jobs numbers

I just spoke to Chris Smalls, president of Amazon Labor Union, outside NLRB in Brooklyn about the fact that the union is leading Amazon 738-600.
He said of Amazon’s lawyers in the vote count room “I love watching them squirm. They’re drinking mad water.”
UPDATE! After sending over 27,000 false applications, Krogers has taken down every temporary application hiring scabs. Organizing works, this is just the beginning.
Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, the expanded Child Tax Credit, or universal pre-K when our politicians are willing to pass an $813 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?
In ONE day, we sent 23,000+ false job applications to Ralph’s scab-hiring job site and took it down. Now there’s two more job applications. @SeanDaBlack adjusted the code, keep using it!!
