When we asked 4,035 working-class voters in battleground races to name an elected official who was fighting for them, the top response was not a Republican or a Democrat. It was “no one.”
That needs to change, and I discuss how in my @NYTimes op-ed today nytimes.com/2018/09/24/opini…
Congrats @Tiffany_Muller and @StopBigMoney on the recognition- well earned!
Congratulations to @StopBigMoney President @Tiffany_Muller on being named one of Washington’s Most Influential People by @washingtonian.

Hal Malchow has been a great friend to me for thirty years. He is one of the most innovative and generous people to work in Democratic politics, whose desire to win surpassed his short-term attention to his own bottom line.

Ed Smith embodied the values, determination & spirit of the labor movement to his core. He was a true partner in advocating for union members at every level, from the worksite to organizing drives to supporting good union jobs through labor’s pension fund investments.
.@EdSmithSays a visionary in the American Labor Movement, made an indelible mark on the labor world. He boldly seized opportunities, developed winning strategies, and left every workplace better than he found it. A true workers’ champion. Our #Union brother will be missed.

You are crossing the picket line.

Such an interesting paper- not to be overlooked that @FabriColella frames the research as the workplace issue that it is

With @wirecutter/@nytimes management refusing to come to the table to reach a deal, 100% of our unit will be striking from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. The best way you can support us is by boycotting @wirecutter from 11/25-11/29: wirecutterunion.com/support-…
