📢Fact check alert 📢

You may be hearing a lot about the need to slash taxes due to "outmigration." @MassBudget debunks the myth taking hold among the press and being pushed by corporate lobbyists.

It's not the heat, it's the inhumanity

TX Gov Abbott just signed a law that repeals protections for construction workers in extreme heat. Thereby denying them rest breaks & water.
WHAT is going on?

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act goes into effect 6/27! Today, we’re launching a brand new Know-Your-Rights guide because knowledge is power and we want every pregnant & postpartum worker in this country to know about these groundbreaking new protections! https://t.co/8EFGb6qW5K

Julie Su is not only delivering on high-stakes negotiations but she is also a keen listener of often excluded worker communities as well as small businesses. She is a model of what a Labor Secretary should do for our workforce and economy. @SenSchumer #ConfirmJulieSuNow

ILWU, PMA Announce West Coast Waterfront Contract

Acting Secretary of Labor Played Key Role

SAN FRANCISCO (June 14, 2023) – The Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union today announced a tentative agreement on a new six-year contract covering workers at all 29 West Coast ports. The deal was reached with assistance from Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su. The parties will not be releasing details of the agreement at this time. The agreement is subject to ratification by both parties.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement that recognizes the heroic efforts and personal sacrifices of the ILWU workforce in keeping our ports operating,” said PMA President James McKenna and ILWU President Willie Adams in a joint statement. “We are also pleased to turn our full attention back to the operation of the West Coast Ports.”

Out now: new @OxfamAmerica research shows how drastically the #US is failing workers and working families.

Among OECD countries, the US is:
🔹32 out of 38 in rights to organize
🔹36 out of 38 in wage policies
🔹dead last in worker protections. 1/ https://t.co/3nUc1PuPWU

As the first AAPI leader to be nominated to @POTUS' cabinet, Julie Su's nomination is historic.

But it's about more than representation.

Julie is a champion in leadership for ALL workers in the U.S., including immigrants.

Let this sink in. Fear of words and ideas have a stronger hold in this country than fear of violence, death, and terror.

Inspired by @BANDA_MS & @icecube new hit single #CualesFronteras we made this tribute to migrants who have perished and those that are here working hard & contributing but get treated as second class citizens. It’s time for a path to citizenship!

[OxfamAmerica @OxfamAmerica]

Breaking: Rather than fulfill his promise to build a humane immigration system, @POTUS is erecting new barriers to safety for people fleeing persecution.

This new asylum ban is simply a rebranding of harmful & racist policies of the Trump administration. https://t.co/doXrKpZR4O
