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

[Jan Schakowsky @janschakowsky]

📢 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!!!

Good night from the Washington Monument, looking down at our gorgeous National Mall, ready for #Inauguration2021 #WashingtonDC

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"

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

.@KamalaHarris is right: ZERO of Trump's 53 circuit court judges are Black. His record on judicial diversity is absolutely appalling.

@jenn_clark @JulieKashen Bring it on!

Hella stoked for the Oakland shoutout at the #VPDebate.

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

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

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.

[51 for 51 @51for51]

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

[UFCW @UFCW]
