Corporations want to keep us scared if we can pay the bills so they can overwork & underpay us! Many janitors work 2.5x more than a safe workload-cleaning the equivalent of 42 homes PER SHIFT w/ only a 30-min break. WE ARE FIGHTING BACK 🧹🔥#JusticeForJanitors #UnionsForAll

“We clean the planes. We clean the cabins. We push the wheelchairs. Without us the airlines couldn’t function.”
Workers are calling on airlines like @united & @americanair to hire more workers and pay us our FAIR SHARE.

SFO is union territory!!
Workers make @flySFO run. Airlines like @united & @americanair couldn’t post their historic revenues without essential screeners and passenger service workers.

If you ever need your spirits lifted or a reminder that WE WONT WAIT for politicians to act, talk to Gen Z.

Soon we’ll all be working for leaders like @EliseJoshi @KitKatHat1 @JoeForAssembly @boutdatakshun @UnionTyler @UnionJosie!

It’s been an honor to work for you and constantly learn from you, building a pro-worker California as our North Star. The CA labor movement happily (errr … begrudgingly) loans you to the national @AFLCIO and it sure is their gain!!
Always #UnionStrong! #1u

[Steve Smith @ssmith_calabor]

After 14 incredible years, today is my last day w/ @CaliforniaLabor. Excited for next chapter w/ @AFLCIO, but hard to say goodbye. The CA Labor family will always be close to my heart. So fortunate to spend last several days surrounded by some of the best organizers in the world

As we kick off LGBTQ+ Pride Month we celebrate the progress we’ve achieved, while redoubling our efforts to fight bigotry. We won't rest until ALL workers are free from discrimination and can be their authentic selves — in the workplace & in our communities. #1u

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

Be the worker who when your feet hit the floor each morning the boss says "Oh, no! They're up.”
Workers across California are taking on Starbucks because they deserve dignity on the job & a union!

Hear their stories & support @SBWorkersUnited.

Hey, @JeffBezos here’s a haiku to go along with our birthday card:

Another year passed
You kept exploiting workers
Wish you’d stay in space

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

Extending the pause on student loan repayments is the right thing to do. Thank you, @POTUS. But we need to go further to provide relief to millions of Americans. Time for a serious discussion about canceling student loan debt and making college affordable and accessible for all

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

Hey @TIME, way to select a narcissistic worker-hating, union-busting, billionaire CEO who tolerates racism and live-tweets from his toilet.
No, we don't mean you choosing Donald Trump as "Person of the Year" in 2016, we mean Elon Musk in 2021. #FailOfTheYear @elonmusk

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

May today’s guilty verdict bring peace to Ahmaud Arbery’s family and loved ones.
Accountability is too rare in our justice system, so the labor movement must continue to demand action & eradicate systemic racism from our institutions.

Rest in power, Ahmaud Arbery.

These injury rates aren't just statistics … they are PEOPLE who are being put in harm's way because @HelloFresh refuses to listen to workers.
