Today in Baltimore, we commemorated Workers Memorial Day by honoring the six Key Bridge workers who went out to a shift and never came home. On this solemn day, we want everyone to know: no matter who you are or where you're from, the labor movement will fight for you.

The union presence at @CES is proof that in order to build the brighter new world we all dream of, workers MUST have a seat at the table.
Working people have shaped this country through every technological revolution over the last 247 years, and will be there to build the next.

"With corporations clamoring to use AI and other technology to either automate away jobs or shift the work onto consumers, it’s up to the labor movement to ensure workers have a seat at the table so that technology improves lives for workers and the public."

Looking forward to child workhouses that will naturally accompany this move bc children will no longer have access to public education either— the dystopian Koch / John Birch Society vision is coming to fruition
At their very core, UNIONS EXIST TO PREVENT CHILD LABOR AND DEATH. #1u #UnionStrong #UnionProud #UnionYes 🇺🇸

The richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
