Corps. shouldn’t dictate laws in CA. We’re proud to stand w/ drivers in the fight to stop the unconstitutional law that is #Prop22 & won’t stop until rideshare drivers have the same opportunities as other workers to have a seat at the table to improve wages & working conditions.
Knocking on doors is never the sexiest thing but it’s how close elections are won - our members pour their heart into the work they do. We’ll beat this Republican recall doing what we do best- talking to our neighbors and turning them out to vote no. https://t.co/KzUv7bq3eI

SEIU members in CA congratulate @JulieSuCA on her confirmation as deputy secretary of @USDOL !! A fierce advocate for workers and equity, we know she will keep battling wage theft and exploitation and helping workers build power.

Amazon's latest union busting efforts are not an isolated incident. For decades, there has been a concerted push within some circles of the big business community to stifle union membership and influence, and American workers across the board have suffered as a result.
A point about union-busting that's not made nearly enough: The boss tries to bust the union not because of labor costs. It's about power. Non-union corporations are autocratic. If workers have power, it starts a process of democratization. That's what @amazon & others fear most
.@JulieSuCA has an impressive record standing up & winning for working people. She knows economic and racial justice are linked & stands up for immigrant communities. @SEIU members are eager to work w/ our next deputy labor secretary & urge all senators to #ConfirmJulie4DOL. #1u
@gilduran76 My wife & her family vehemently dislike "Latinx" They identify with Latina/o or Chicana/o. They view Latinx as an affront to heritage. We have not changed our style guide at the Labor Fed. Still use Latina/o. Although I know some progressive orgs have made the change to Latinx
I showed up at LA County Office of Ed, accompanying my wife who was getting the #Covid_19 vaccine. Know who was there working the lines? @lapublichealth director Barbara Ferrer! That’s dedication . . . Our conversation:
Kevin you have been a friend for 25 years.
This dark day was made possible by your actions. What you do in the next few days will leave your mark in history.
Remove him.
