CEOs will ask what unions have ever done for workers.

Labor unions brought us the weekend, safety standards at work, paid overtime, 8-hour workdays, the minimum wage, breaks during work, the right to strike, and child labor laws.

What good has a greedy CEO ever brought you?

"Workers at the big three carmakers earn less now in real dollars than they did 15 years ago – as their CEOs make more and more. Their fight is everyone’s fight."

If the big three automakers (General Motors, Ford and Stellantis) do not provide reasonable contracts to address longstanding inequities in the industry, there will be a strike – and all of us should support the strikers. https://t.co/HUtz3Ki6fk

Luz shared this picture of her working in the vegetable fields near Arvin CA. She will work up to 8 hours for minimum wage. There was a break in the heat and the area had a late summer thunderstorm which made the long day more humid. #WeFeedYou

“You cannot make $21 billion in profits in half a year and expect members to take a mediocre contract,” said @UAW president Shawn Fain. https://t.co/QTvFSkU8Hk

"Auto workers are confronting a three-headed behemoth whose leadership and governance are closely embedded and directly interlocked within a wider corporate power network that stretches well beyond the auto industry." https://t.co/cumV16Tqm6

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

👏 @UAW President Shawn Fain on @TheLeadCNN:

"God forbid that workers ask for their fair share of equity, in the fruits of their labor in the products they produce."

T-minus 48 hours until the Big 3 contract expires. #StrikeReady

[UAW @UAW]

"If the United Auto Workers union decides to strike this week, U.S. adults would support it by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new Morning Consult survey."

Repair cracks with gold.

Imperfections are a thing of beauty.

The journeys we all take are golden.

Our flaws are embellishments that make us more beautiful.

Accept and let go.

Some things simply aren't within our control.

Accept what you cannot change, and move on.

Know your reason for being.

Define the reason you get up in the morning.

Make it something you are good at, passionate about, and that the world needs.

THIS is meaning.
