Virginia Beach City Workers Union, UE Local 111

The union for City of Virginia Beach workers fighting for collective bargaining, family supporting wages and safe, dignified working conditions @ueunion

[Virginia Beach City Workers Union, UE Local 111 @UELocal111VB]

We won $15/hr min wage for @CityofVaBeach workers! After two years of building our union, lowest wages will now increase from $10.87 to $15. We also won a Step Pay Plan w years of service recognized for all workers too!! Onwards to winning collective bargaining! #organizethesouth

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.

Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:

-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K

And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

On 4/13, Gov Spanberger added significant amendments to the collective bargaining bill that would water it down and delay it. Send a letter to your elected officials today telling them that we won’t accept our human rights being amended or delayed!

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

How many times do we have to say it? Workers won’t stand for cuts to essential services like Medicaid and food assistance, just so billionaires can get ANOTHER tax break!

[David Broder @Broder512]

ICYMI: Winsome Earle-Sears pledged to support corporate CEOs over hard-working Virginians.

Not surprising from the candidate who
❌ Wants to lower wages
❌ Opposes paid family leave
❌ Cheers when Trump fires Virginians
❌ Opposes the freedom to collectively bargain
