Apollo must address these serious workers’ rights violations across its portfolio. Workers’ pension dollars are invested in this firm, and they deserve accountability, responsible oversight, and respect for the rights of working people. https://t.co/LQwF2C0Ymj

Most people believe the sugar they use and consume every day comes from sugarcane, but in the U.S. 60% of it is Union-made from sugar beets.

BCTGM members make nearly all of the U.S.-made sugar from sugar beets.

I have not posted anything since the election. I took a brief break from social media. It's nice to unplug occasionally and focus on family. I have launched the Working Class Heroes Fund that is designed to help regular working people run for office in their states and districts to get a seat at the table. Our Congress needs to be a reflection of its people. Currently it is not.

It is my hope that the incoming administration will be a voice for the working class, but until the day comes where the government passes the PRO Act and adds protections for our paychecks we will continue to stand up and fight corporate greed. We are seeing it play out time and time again where workers are fed up with the record profits of these huge multinational corporations while trying to take from the very same workers that made those profits possible.

Milkbone, a brand we all know and our dogs love, is owned by Smuckers that boasted $8 billion in sales. The brave @BCTGM workers have shut down the factory and are in a fight for their livelihoods. They are on the picket line in the middle of a tough Buffalo winter. I proudly stand with them and support their efforts in their fight to preserve their wages and benefits at a time where inflation affects the working person exponentially more than the CEO’s and board members who make the decisions to take from their employees. I’m including a link to donate to the workers who need our help to put food on their tables while they stand up to corporate greed: https://t.co/aCg1dWg4pT

Thank you.

It’s Working Class vs. Billionaire Class. Period.

[Ian Hayes @unianhayes]

Proud to work with @BCTGM and local 36G. Spread the word, support the strike fund, and if you’re in Western New York, come by the picket line and hang out with workers and joint the line for a while.

Remember: strikes work. The union is going to win this. Solidarity. 💪✊

All workers deserve respect, dignity, and fairness on the job and the incredible @BCTGM Local 114 members at Franz in Eugene are no exception.

#OregonLabor has your back until you win.
