Please just give us healthcare

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

If a $15 minimum wage is unfair because cost of living varies across the country, why don't we apply that logic to senators?

Instead of everyone making $174,000 with Cadillac benefits, cut senator pay in half in states with a $7.25 min wage. We taxpayers simply can't afford it.

The @ndncollective has setup a bail fund for the Mount Rushmore arrestees. The West River Bail Fund is going to the same place. But boosting both.

This is just one of the many stories that proves that worker power matters, worker solidarity matters, speaking out matters. You are not on your own, worker organizing makes a difference. Also our DMs are open if you need help getting media attn for your efforts.

... one of the baristas got an email this afternoon from Slack offering them 3 months pay and health insurance.

Workers put pressure on the bosses and got the goods.

Slack killed a negative news cycle.

Everyone is happy.

[The Worker Agency @TheWorkerAgency]

Some good news on a terrible day: Late last Friday Slack fired 5 baristas out of the blue.

The baristas were told they wouldn't have jobs when the office re-opened post virus.

The baristas were pissed, but they were determined to fight.

I went to the grocery store this afternoon. As I was walking in I heard a woman yell to me from her car. I walked over and found an elderly woman and her husband. She cracked her window open a bit more, and explained to me nearly in tears that they are afraid to go in the store.

[Caroline Haskins @car0linehaskins]

New from me + @scottlucas: five baristas who worked in the Slack office had their contracts terminated early when the office shut down due to coronavirus.

Through collective action, they got wages through June 28 and continued access to healthcare

Wait this just got even better: The five baristas also got offered full time jobs at Slack after the three months paid time off.

Good on @stewart for stepping in and doing the right thing.
