.@CalPERS trustee, Lisa Middleton, shared: “We started talking about putting labor standards into investment decisions.”

The intent, Middleton says, is to “make it clear there are lines that cannot be crossed.”

The @CalPERS board met in early June to discuss new requirements for #privateequity investor groups and firms they invest with.

@thenation writes: "...it could at long last, represent a seismic shift in how those behemoth firms are held to account."

Shawn Fain has been a long-time fighter for the members on the plant floor, many times putting his own job on the line for standing up against vice presidents that wanted to implement policies that would have a negative impact on the membership.

I am so proud to finally pass a Prevailing Wage Ordinance in Phoenix. It signals that our city stands by its workers, especially in a time of exponential growth, and is serious about delivering dignified wages and benefits to those helping build our city.

[Raquel Terán @RaquelTeran]

.@CityofPhoenixAZ PASSED Prevailing Wage!

I’m proud of voicing support for workers building Phx.

This was possible because Labor & community orgs advocated for Prop. 206, giving cities authority to decide wages.

Thank you, Mayor & Council for your leadership on this issue.
