State workforce turnover costs all of us. Our fight for a fair future and shared common good starts with strengthening our state workforce. Join us! #txlege

Because state workers face chronic underpay, policymaking is often left to special interest groups. Raising the wage for state workers will help restore democracy, and ensure that legislation is written by and for Texans. #txlege #ourcommongood

On #MayDay, we honor the working men and women throughout history who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for dignity and justice on the job for every working person.

Today and every day, our struggle for a just economy for all working people continues. #UnionStrong

RALLY April 25th at 12:15pm / UT Austin in front of the tower --- Rally in solidarity with those who were abruptly fired from positions formerly associated with DEI. More than 60 workers lost their jobs. DM if your group or org would like to participate. See you there!

High turnover in state departments hurts all Texans — especially the most vulnerable among us. Higher pay and better working condition for state workers will raise the bar for every Texan. #txlege #ourcommongood #unionstrong #union #stateworkers

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Texans deserve high-quality services from our state government. The only way we can accomplish that is by appropriately staffing up our state workforce to accommodate for population growth 💪 #txlege #ourcommongood #unionstrong #union #stateworkers

In the United States, women are still paid 78 cents for every dollar paid to men.

Unions like ours empower women, earning nearly 21% more in wages than their nonunion counterparts. When more women have access to a union, we can close the wage gap and build working class power.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s take a second to thank the workers who keep our state running!

Together, we must demand that their wages and benefits reflect the critical work they do for all of us. #WorkerWednesday #txlege #ourcommongood

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Low pay for our state workers reduces the efficiency of state agencies, and Texas taxpayers are left to foot the bill.

Raising the wage for state workers would help everybody. #ourcommongood #txlege

[Every Texan United @EveryTxnUnited]

We approve this message. 👇✊#txlege

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Our fight for a fair future starts with our state workforce. Without strong, competitive wages for our state workers, it is impossible for Texans to receive the high-quality services they deserve #ourcommongood #txlege

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

On #WorkerWednesdays we recognize the important work of Texas state workers. Their labor makes the state function — and it’s LONG past due to raise their wages #ourcommongood #txlege

Investing in people—including those in the civil service—matters. https://t.co/bcEdpFv5iq

State employees provide real, impactful contributions to all Texans. They deserve a fair wage for the crucial work they do. It's time to raise the pay for ALL state workers #txlege #ourcommongood

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Low wages are depleting our public workforce. Raising the wage for state employees will raise the bar for state agencies 💪 #txlege #ourcommongood

The @nytimes reports on this Texas sized crisis costing all of us. #ourcommongood #txlege https://t.co/c3dXyjxDNJ

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Texas' children are losing healthcare coverage at an astounding rate. The problem has been made worse by an understaffed and poorly resourced state workforce. #txlege “We didn’t have the staffing that was needed. We didn’t have the technology needed,”

We ask Gov. @GregAbbott_TX to uphold our shared Texan values of care and compassion for our neighbors to guarantee eligible, hungry families can access food by Christmas. #txlege

[TxnsTogether @TxnsTogether]

Due to #txlege systemic underfunding of public services and the state workforce, families struggling to make ends meet currently face up to a 6 month delay in receiving SNAP and Medicaid benefits.

[Every Texan @EveryTxn]

1 in 4 Texans applying for SNAP will likely go hungry this holiday season:

26 percent of Texas SNAP applications are delayed, in some cases up to six months.

[Texas AFT @TexasAFT]

Only Gov. Abbott is positioned to respond to this crisis with the urgent, meaningful actions needed. Without action, hard-working, low-wage Texas families will continue to face food insecurity and delays in healthcare this holiday season. #TxLege https://t.co/d4TDDbA8kn
