Solidarity with New Seasons Labor Union ON STRIKE today at Slabtown store. Protesting unfair, unilateral, workload changes ! Fighting for a first contract !
I stand with @pdxteachers and the teachers in Portland, Oregon who are fighting for better working conditions and the school support they need to provide the education our students deserve. We must protect teachers' right to stand up for themselves and their students.
Want to help @Powells workers get strike-ready? Swing by @WorkersTap on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 5pm-12am, and 10% of your purchase will go to the ILWU Local 5 Strike Fund to support Powell's workers, who will be going on strike for the first time in *20 years* on Monday, September 4!
These three writers shut down an entire production. IATSE crew refused to cross their picket line, so the producers couldn’t shoot, and sent everyone home. If just three WGA members standing together can do this, imagine how much power all 12,000 of us have! ✊🏻 #wgastrong
the problem isn’t technology, it’s corps using tech to increase profit margins for shareholders. automation always lightens the workload, but it’s impossible for us to imagine a world where drivers cont being employed, work shorter hours & make more money. thats capitalism.
GOP: We protect kids!
So—ban child labor?
GOP: No
Ban child marriages?
GOP: No
Ban children from carrying guns?
GOP: No
Ban gun sales w/o background checks?
GOP: No
Then how exactly do protect kids?🤔
GOP: We ban books, discussions on racism, drag, & free school lunch.
I do not think we should accept it as 'normal' in our society that billionaires get massive tax breaks while teachers in this country have to work a second job just to make ends meet.
We must pay all teachers in America at least $60,000.
