Interested in what has led to the strike at John Deere and what workers are looking to change in their contract? This is a short bit on some of the things we are facing.

Yesterday, AutoZone fired me for organizing their first ever union a day after we won the election despite all their conditions against us. Now, we have a GoFundMe to help me, our union, and a strike fund.
Donate to Flood the Zone with more unions !!

@davebftv I hate watching that. I've pulled up like that twice myself and neither was good. First a disconnected Achilles tendon and second time a severe muscle strain. Either way it's a boot for a while and PT. Hope he comes back healthy.
I've seen videos of fathers picking up pieces of their children. People in tents being burned alive. Mothers shot dead while begging for food. And now, emaciated babies in the last moments of their lives. Israel's war on Gaza is the most evil thing I have ever seen in my life.
Like it or not, a reason that Palestine has become a litmus test is that it turns out to be a pretty reliable signal that you won’t back down on the other stuff either.
Elected officials, even ones who support cutting budgets, often vote to raise the military budget under the pretense of “national security.”
Is ensured every American has healthcare, housing, food, education, and the ability to live a good life not national security?
The Senate will vote today on ensuring the @NLRB has a pro-worker majority through 2026. Any senator who is serious about standing with working-class people should vote to confirm Lauren McFerran as NLRB Chair.
You are in grave danger and you don’t even realize it. The moral bubbles we all live in are going to destroy us all. Think. Do you really believe that the dehumanization, wholesale murder, systematic torture, mass imprisonment, imposed starvation & disease & media erasure of victims will stop at the borders of Palestine? Is it credible to believe that impunity for a live-streamed genocide will not lead to more horror? If Israel, the US & other perpetrators get away with this, don’t doubt that the same dark power may knock on your door next. You leave the people of Gaza alone at your own peril.
@ArmsteadVan As a union organizer during the first Trump term, I can say the answer is not any time soon most likely. The NLRB will soon be no friend of labor.
Yesterday we stood for a permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo on Israel. One year of bloodshed, one year of resistance; always: a free Palestine in our lifetime! 🇵🇸
🧵John Deere’s reckless layoffs and job cuts are an insult to the working class people of Iowa and Illinois, and the United Auto Workers will fight for justice for our members and communities affected by these moves.
