After just four days on strike, San Francisco educators won their top demands—some of which the district had previously refused even to bargain over. “It was hard and it was joyful and we f-ing beat them,” said high school teacher Ilan Desai-Geller.

Daniel Poteet, Business Manager of Local 50 out of Columbus, Ohio shares the difference between working nonunion & joining the Insulators:
Poteet began in a nonunion shop, where long hours, low pay & little security were the norm. “You were your own advocate, you didn’t have people advocating for you. You still had the itchy fiberglass, the same issues—you just had to fight for yourself.
Once I got into the union, I was able to take my kids to Disneyland. I could buy my wife the car she wanted. I could put my kids in a better area of town. Life was just so much better. I worked fewer hours & still gave more to my family”
He advanced through leadership roles—serving as an instructor, coordinator, president, & ultimately business manager of his local. Along the way, he never forgot the value of organizing. Today, Local 50 proudly counts 51% of its members as organized, a testament to the culture shift he helped drive.
Today, we honor the courage and resilience of trans workers everywhere. Visibility is power—and every member of our union deserves to be seen, respected, and celebrated. Together, we fight for dignity, equality, and justice in every workplace. #TransDayOfVisibility#UAW
In this economy, working people don’t have the time or money to drive longer distances or wait in long lines to get a passport or other documents to vote—but that’s what the SAVE America Act would do.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. https://t.co/nyJctm758R
No Kings? How about no insurance companies? No medical debt. No student loan debt. Term limits. Affordable housing. The full Epstein files. Cheaper gas. Affordable housing. A livable planet. A living wage. No more wars. An end to genocide. Some basic fucking humanity.
