The @NLRB has ruled that the @ACLU illegally fired staff member, Kate Oh. This ruling is a significant victory for workers' rights & reinforces the importance of protecting employees who stand up for their rights in the workplace. Read our statement here: npeu.org/news/2024/8/8/nlrb-…

And of course, @NaomiMaehr is also supporting @BrookingsUnion's own Hannah Stephens as she runs with us to be VP of Organizing. Naomi first recruited Hannah as a steward, and has seen her skills as a creative & talented organizer during their most recent contract negotiations.

A top Chamber of Commerce official told me that unions are a relic of the 1930s. But workers—particularly young workers—disagree, whether they're at Starbucks, Amazon, Trader Joe's or Apple. If unions are a relic, young Americans didn’t get the message. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…
