BREAKING: The House passes the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote!
This is the year we finally put a stop to pregnant workers being horrifically mistreated & forced out of their jobs. #ProtectPregnantWorkers
📢 What’s disgusting?!
🗣 UNION BUSTING!!!
Especially in Illinois. It’s pig-ish corporate behavior by companies like @instacart that shows why congress must pass the PRO Act NOW!!!

Tonight, in Washington, D.C. and across the nation, we came together to honor the over 400,000 Americans we’ve lost to COVID-19. The last year has tested us in unimaginable ways, but now it’s time we begin to heal and overcome — together.
Coronavirus relief isn’t “Washington gridlock.” One party wants to provide overwhelming relief to the American people, and one is saying they’ll only agree to a fraction of it if corporations get immunity for recklessly putting their workers’ lives at risk. That is facts.
A woman’s place is in the workplace, in her union, in the halls of power, and now, in the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States of America.
Today, @KamalaHarris made history.
I think Biden will win. I also think the problem in this election is not the polling industry getting it wrong, it's the fact that this many Americans took a hard look at Trump and determined "yeah, I want four more years of that"
NEW: @SenWarren@SenBooker condemn @WhiteHouse for failure to protect American workers in meatpacking plants on frontlines of #COVID19.
It's clear @OSHA_DOL is protecting corporate profits, not workers and the American public. Our families deserve better. https://t.co/Isry46Eson

The federal government shouldn't be in the business of rewarding companies with taxpayer-funded contracts if they don't pay or treat their workers fairly.
That's why I introduced the Food Worker Pay Standards Act with the endorsement of the @UFCW.
It's time we lead by example.
Ty can't call his senators or rep. because D.C. isn’t a state.
Archaic rules like the filibuster should not hold back full voting rights for the 700,000+ mostly Black and Brown residents of D.C.

Over the past decade - from coast to coast - cities, counties and states have enacted #paidsickdays policies, resulting in healthier families, communities and businesses. But ALL working people need paid sick days. It’s time for the Healthy Families Act. #HFAnow
Congress is acting today to protect TPS holders who are your neighbors and our members. Watch the #DreamAndPromiseAct mark-up now. This is the first time in nine years that a bill with any chance of passage is coming up for a vote! #HR6#UFCW
