The real MVPs.

If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children are starving, that should haunt you.

[Minnesota AFL-CIO @MNAFLCIO]

A big THANK YOU to all of our union sisters, brothers, and siblings who made the trip to Minnesota and thank you to the @AFLCIO for bringing our nation's Labor Movement to the place we call home. #BetterInAUnion https://t.co/fD4Nm3lqzy

Unfriendly reminder that the top 1% hoards 1/3 of all wealth in the United States.

Workers are not voting to unionize so corporations can stall for 465 days.
They are voting for wages.
For healthcare.
For MONEY. POWER. RESPECT.
When workers win their union, they should win a contract.

Now the Senate needs to finish the job.
Pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act.

What could you POSSIBLY need this kind of money for?
A second planet?

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Y’all. 1984 was a warning, NOT an instruction manual.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Palantir is building a surveillance state around us, collecting our data, and collaborating with corporations and the government to use it against us. We MUST fight back. It is essential for our freedom at work and at home!

One warehouse.
One union contract.
One more crack in the myth that workers can’t take on corporate giants.

This is what #UnionsForAll looks like.
Corporate power is strong. Worker power is stronger.

.@SEIUPres April Verrett: “Our vision calls for a world where all people can, not just survive, but thrive.”

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

“Be grateful,” they said.

Unfortunately gratitude doesn’t pay rent, put food on the table, fill the gas tank, or keep the lights on.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Big ups to @LizShuler and Fred Redmond for winning reelection as President and Secretary-Treasurer of the @AFLCIO. Across the #UnionsForAll movement, we’re taking on the biggest challenges facing working people from gender inequality to civil rights and more.

We applaud Shuler’s pledge to unionize at least 2 million working people over the next 5 years. At this unprecedented moment, with attacks on workers across industries, we need ambitions organizing goals to push back against anti-worker politicians. https://t.co/0wImwQ9VOr

What do working people need more of?

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid aren’t handouts. They are promises working people paid for over a lifetime of work.
We won’t stand by while politicians try to take them away. #UnionsForAll

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

Mike Johnson says that programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security need to be “adjusted and fixed”.

Translation: Republicans plan to cut and destroy Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security!

[SEIU @SEIU]

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?

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

👏🏿If companies are posting record profits, their workers should be earning record wages👏🏿

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

A program that helps Black students access counselors, college prep, and advanced coursework should not be controversial.
What’s controversial is a system that lets inequity go unchallenged for generations.

You can’t run a country like a country club.

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Funny how "common sense" usually started with a union contract.
