A new Gallup poll shows that union favorability in the U.S. has reached its highest level in over 50 years.
68% of respondents said they support unions--the highest number since 1965.
Breaking: California’s giant ride-hailing and delivery companies suffered a major setback as a state superior court judge invalidated Prop 22, which has allowed Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other businesses to classify their workers as independent contractors. https://t.co/VxbKH0w4BD
@Target Yea back when you offered part-time workers (the majority of workers in our stores) healthcare before you decided to take it away a year later.
Vons and Albertsons stores in California just laid off every one of their full-time, union delivery drivers, and will replace them with DoorDash gig workers who receive no benefits as a direct result of Prop 22. https://t.co/HLnc2HrkvW
#charterschools are for-profit nonprofits?!
"It's not right for charters to act like a business on Monday and a public school on Tuesday," -senior policy advisor with #InThePublicInterest

For-profit charters are @BetsyDeVosED bread and butter. Don't let these charter's tell you they're for social change, POC rights, or any of the other reform- their only interest is PROFIT #alliancecrps#kipp#aspirela

Read the whole thread- SHARE SHARE SHARE your salary, benefits, hours expected to be at work, weekends sacrificed, etc with your co-workers and other teachers always. #charters thrive on us COMPETING but we should be using this info to #UNIONIZE
That's why corporate culture is SO strict about not sharing your salary w coworkers & why corporate media NEVER talks hard numbers when it comes to income distribution
The more info people have, the more they'll blame the system for economic problems instead of themselves.
During #QuarantineLife we challenge all #charterschool teachers to watch the @frontlinepbs#amazondoc "Amazon Empire" and compare the statements of the warehouse workers to your co-workers. Burnout, impossible to keep up, no long term future at the company #union
Right now, the charter industry is working overtime to buy the local school board race in Los Angeles in an attempt to privatize public schools. I stand with @UTLANow in their fight against privatization and for more investment in public schools.
40 years ago, more than 25% of all workers belonged to a union. Today: only 10%.
The decline of the American middle class over the past forty years is no coincidence.
We must rebuild the labor movement and make it easier, not harder, for workers to join unions.
"(Using the word) 'public' carries a host of connotations that are important for marketing purposes." But don't be fooled #CharterSchools
Are anything but https://t.co/sdx1F8cAjU
How many #charterschools "can't" hire a sub if you're sick.
Worse they make other teachers cover your classes during their prep time.
Even worse you're on unpaid sick leave but you still have to send in your #lessonplan.

"Some prosecutors, state legislators and education officials have noted that relationships between small school districts strapped for cash and charter school networks looking to expand are ripe for abuse." 😱 you don't say.. #inspirecharterschools
