The shoplifting panic is a manufactured crisis.
It's below pre-pandemic rates and organized shoplifting gangs are almost non-existent. Only 0.1% of cases involve six or more people.
The real crime is $50 billion in wage theft.

Autoworkers at more than a dozen non-union companies are announcing simultaneous campaigns to join the union at https://t.co/4YZweKWJVr.
The push will cover nearly 150,000 workers.

Tonight @RepScottPerry introduced an amendment to cut the NLRB’s budget by 67%. He said our agency’s employees have too many resources and too much free time.
This is a bizarre statement. With exploding caseloads, we have never been busier. The NLRB needs more funding, not less.
The UAW stood up to the Big Three Automakers. They won.
The WGA and SAG stood up to the major studios. They won.
The Teamsters stood up to UPS. They won.
When workers stand together, they win.
Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement. #Solidarity
Saratoga Springs Teachers Association President Tim McGuiggan rallies @nysut members as they march for a new contract. Teachers working conditions are students learning conditions!
🧵The UAW isn’t a pro-worker HR department. It’s a movement. We don’t just win back our wages and benefits. We win back our power. We win back our organization. We win back our solidarity.
Instead of campaigning cautiously, Beshear ran as an ardent backer of organized labor.
Thank you @GovAndyBeshear for your support of our Stand Up Strike and congratulations on your re-election win!
