.@POTUS knows the importance of unions. That’s why he joined the UAW picket line yesterday.
Right now, unions across the country continue to stand up and advocate for the rights of working Americans — and they deserve our support. This week’s WGA deal is an example of what’s possible. Keep going.

UAW PRESIDENT SHAWN FAIN STATEMENT ON FORD’S ANNOUNCEMENT TO PAUSE CONSTRUCTION ON MARSHALL EV BATTERY PLANT:
“This is a shameful, barely-veiled threat by Ford to cut jobs. Closing 65 plants over the last 20 years wasn’t enough for the Big Three, now they want to threaten us with closing plants that aren’t even open yet. We are simply asking for a just transition to electric vehicles and Ford is instead doubling down on their race to the bottom.”

We are the Congressional Workers Union and we’ve already won labor rights in law & a new wage floor on Capitol Hill.
But our bosses still write the rules—Will you give us a follow and join our efforts to bring a voice at work to Washington? #1u

I think there is a word for it... When management fires the leader of a union effort (after previously demoting and pushing out previous leaders). Support Assata and @350USunion! #ClimateJustice #UnionStrong gofundme.com/f/support-assat…

Reminder that money is not usually capital since it is mostly not a productive resource for making more money or capital especially by working class people. When you buy groceries, you're not investing capital, you're just surviving.
