@g_ritze @thehousered I interviewed and was offered the same job, but I went down a path learning the organizing craft in and around electoral politics.

@ILAFLCIO Where on Michigan?

[Illinois AFL-CIO @ILAFLCIO]

Without Labor Day, we rarely get the opportunity to reflect on our current workers' rights, and the price that many people paid to secure those rights for us today. That is, unless you're in a union.

Let's celebrate our hard fought rights and the work ahead this #Labor Day.

Chicago's union members were hard at work this week during the DNC.

@ATUComm 208 Rail Operator Monica talks about the excitement sharing Chicago with the world during the DNC, the hats she wears as a rail operator and why it's better in a union.

@Mathematerial I’ve seen two at labor organizing non profits I’ve worked with on Amazon, both got busted in some way or another. SEIU has a staff union in Chicago, not sure which local.

At RDU1, Chris Torgler aims for a “direct relationship” but 90% of associates can't connect due to unfamiliarity with most of our leadership.

Leadership relationship at Amazon #RDU1: 'directly abusive'

Don’t Quit-Organize!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As the shortest kid in school, I was a target for bullies. At age eight, I befriended a kind teenager who looked out for me.

Years later, I learned that the Klan murdered him and two others for registering Black voters in Mississippi. Their bodies were found 60 years ago today.

@g_ritze @amazonteamsters @Teamsters Don’t forget the millions of members of the AFL- CIO affiliated unions that answer whenever called.

[Union of Southern Service Workers @RaiseUptheSouth]

[NLRB General Counsel @NLRBGC]

General Counsel Abruzzo visited UAW Local 174 in Livonia, Michigan this week to meet with workers and discuss their rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

Outreach events like these are important for educating workers, unions, and employers about the Act.

@Shut_downAmazon @elonmusk Because he’s a unelected, tyrannical, and petty corporatist that uses his influence to interfere in far worse things than the BS occurring with Maduro election.

Like cutting off starlink to nix potential Ukrainian attacks on the Russian Black Sea fleet. #WTFELON

[Illinois AFL-CIO @ILAFLCIO]

We believe that all workers should be able to walk away from unwanted political or religious rhetoric at work without fear of retaliation. That's why we passed the Illinois Worker Freedom of Speech Act.

@OrganizeJfk8 @ieamazonworkers Have you heard of some of the research on this matter at Michigan State University? They exposed some pretty alarming connections between law enforcement and Amazon.

[CAUSE @amazoncause]

The https://t.co/68IDepm2Dy.E team met with senator Bernie Sanders yesterday. We won’t be ignored. Amazon throws its union busters at us weekly but the gig is up. Don’t quit, organize. #organizethesouth#unionizeamazon

@amazonteamsters @Teamsters Don’t forget that on Juneteenth there were coordinated actions distributing buttons and newsletters with the same message in NY, NJ, NC, CA, IL, LA, maybe a few more, and that’s it’s being done independently of but coordinating along with the IBT.
