Union members like Erica are urging lawmakers to get their priorities in order. Right now, instead of funding healthcare, Republicans in Congress want to give the White House another blank check to abduct our neighbors, terrorize US citizens and build new detention centers. Call 888-510-9445 and tell your representative to "VOTE NO" on Reconciliation.
The increase in the cost of living is making it tough for working people to get by and feed our families.
…Meanwhile, corporate profits are soaring.🙄 #UnionsForAll
Far too many fast food workers get told they’ll cause price increases whenever they demand better pay. But we rarely hear how many of us still make the $7.25 minimum wage while prices STILL go up. On the flip side, the #GreedyCEOs of these fast food companies take home hundreds of thousands a year and rarely get blamed for price spikes. It’s time to change the narrative!
10 years ago a Chick-fil-A combo meal cost $6.67.
Today that same meal costs $17.
That's a 155% price increase in one decade.
On a fast food combo.
If Chick-fil-A more than doubled in 10 years, everything else already did too.
And your paycheck did not.
Last week Ericka White of @SEIULocal73 attended Palantir's virtual annual meeting. She'd hoped to raise some questions, but no attendees were given time to speak.
Feels in line with how Palantir operates generally. 🤷♂️
What would you like to ask Palantir?
The AFL-CIO, America’s largest labor federation, has elected an extraordinary team of leaders, led by President @LizShuler and Secretary-Treasurer @STRedmond.
Together, let’s build a more modern, inclusive, growing and powerful labor movement.
The Trump regime is attempting to claim that addressing deep-rooted inequities for students of color are discriminatory against white students instead of promoting equal opportunity and holding schools accountable for racial bias. https://t.co/dhxRDY67oi
Don't know who Palantir is? That's OK!
It's never too late to learn about the company building a surveillance state around us, collecting our data, and collaborating with corporations and the government to use it against us. Learn more: https://t.co/PNsKhtUM6i
One of the Trump regime’s latest executive orders would make it easier to fire 8,000 federal workers in policy roles and replace them with loyalists. This is yet another clear attack on working people who make our government run because these workers who once felt comfortable reporting waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement at their place of employment because they were protected from retaliation may now be afraid of losing their livelihood if they speak out. 😡 https://t.co/Sc2FZOlq06
Make no mistake, the SAVE Act was never about secure elections, it was about silencing voters! As we head to the 2026 midterms, it’s imperative that we elect leaders who don’t try to suppress our votes by ending online registration, purging voter rolls, and blocking working people from voting if we move to a new community. https://t.co/sUUx0MRcfI
- Using our tax dollars to pay for a UFC event at the White House;
- Ensuring he and his family can never be audited by the IRS;
- Attempting to use our tax money to pay J6 rioters.
And still more. Trump is giving billions in federal contracts to those who donate to his ballroom, and many of these donors are facing labor cases, antitrust reviews, and more. While the Trump regime auctions itself to the highest bidder, working people are paying the tab. https://t.co/GebwCOVwAQ
Reminder when it comes to our labor: yesterday’s price is not today’s price! Holding the line together across industries, worksites, and locations is how we raise industry standards and avoid a race to the bottom! #UnionsForAll
Landlord: Rent has gone up.
Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.
Suppliers: Materials cost more.
Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.
Worker: My labour costs more.
Businesses: Whoa, whoa... Let’s not get unreasonable here.
#GreedyCEOs have often repeated the lie that it’s rude for colleagues to discuss salary … as a tactic to keep us divided and underpaid. The more we communicate, organize, and unionize, the more we win transparency through pay scales in our contracts!
This is a microcosm of why there isn't a single U.S. state where a two-bedroom apartment is affordable by working 40 hours/week at minimum wage. But when we unite in a union and don’t work for less, #GreedyCEOs show they will pay!
A one bedroom apartment that cost $800 to $900 in 2019 is now $1,700.
Same apartment. Same walls. Same floor.
Double the price in 6 years.
Wages did not double.
Groceries did not get cheaper.
Gas did not come down.
This is a deception ritual to destroy your mental health.
Have your former co-workers considered organizing a union? If they want to improve things at your old job they should unionize, and you should too at your new job! #UnionsForAll
So remember when the Panama papers came out and revealed that #GreedyCEOs are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard wealth stolen in offshore accounts—and literally nothing happened 👀
It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes. We must help fund historic investments so we can all thrive!
Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."
You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."
One of the best things about a union contract is having a sick leave policy IN WRITING (think guaranteed sick days)—one that you and your co-workers determined at the bargaining table! That way, when people need to take sick leave, everyone KNOWS the rules. 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻
Adults should NOT have to bring doctor’s notes to their employer like we’re 8 years old asking for a bathroom pass. You’re a grown adult with bills, responsibilities, and a full-time job. If you say you’re sick, that should be enough. Forcing workers to pay $150+ for a doctor visit just to prove they’re not faking it is humiliating and dystopian. Your body doesn’t need corporate permission to be sick. And making people drag themselves to a doctor while contagious just spreads illness in the office.We trust adults to vote, sign contracts, raise kids, and serve in the military… but God forbid they take a Tuesday off without a permission slip.
Palantir is in our healthcare!
In several states across the country, Palantir has developed data networks for healthcare systems. Uses range from payment tracking and scheduling up to analyzing patient data to determine treatment options.
