- Nebraska raised the minimum wage

- 4 states banned forced prison labor

- D.C. abolished the sub-minimum tipped wage

- Illinois guaranteed the right to collective bargaining

The midterms were HUGE for worker power.

[CUPE National @cupenat]

The Ford government has forgotten what worker power looks like. CUPE members are going to remind them.
