We are fast food and retail workers from across Kansas City coming together to demand good wages and a voice for low-wage workers. #StandUpKC #FightFor15

BREAKING🚨🗞️: Low-wage #MOworkers organizing have put earned paid sick days and a $15 minimum wage increase on the 11/5 ballot! @moworkerscenter

The UAW and labor supporters from across the community came out to Local 31 in Kansas City on Tuesday to rally with Emotiv workers organizing to form their union.

While workers at the parts supplier have bravely exercised their protected concerted rights, the company is rolling out illegal union-busting intimidation tactics in an attempt to defeat the organizing drive.

Yesterday, the Kansas City community sent a message to Emotiv: We're standing with these workers through thick and thin until they win!

A big thank you to everyone who stood with these brave Emotiv workers, including UAW Local 249, Local 710, Local 2250 (Wentzville, MO) SEIU, AFGE, Stand Up KC, and UAW Region 4 Director Brandon Campbell ✊✊✊

Over the past two weeks, several hundred #MOworkers joined their neighbors across the state — from Kansas City to St. Louis, and plenty of cities in between — to lay out our plan for a state budget that serves working people and our families, not a greedy elite minority!

“Being able to see how far we’ve come since this organization has started and what we’ve accomplished — it just makes me want to fight even harder.”

📰@wendys worker, @standup_kc, and MWC leader Fran Marion in @inequalityorg: “Working people like me don’t back down when our lives are on the line.”

[Missouri Workers Center (Bsky: @moworkers.org) @moworkerscenter]

“It makes me ANGRY!” @standup_kc leader and @wendys worker Fran Marion is FED UP with MO lawmakers who are trying to break apart her home district in Kansas City — all to attack worker power and enrich a wealthy few!

🗣️#MOworkers across races, places, and genders REFUSE to be divided!

It’s no coincidence President Trump and MO lawmakers are targeting KC’s 5th congressional district — building on an ugly legacy of racial and economic segregation along the Troost divide.
