“I want to see something changed in Ryder’s policy so they can support workers who need to be out on short-term disability or who may need to take FMLA leave.” -Audrey Williams, @RyderSystemInc worker, in Columbia, SC.
Melissa Reyes, @IBEW “the job site is consistently overstaffed, and overworked sets workers up for dangerous situations. For decades conditions have slowly been eroding to the point we are fighting for the same things the labor movement fought for in the 19th century.”
WORKER ACTION: Workers in Atlanta WALK OFF THE JOB today at @FamilyDollar and other retail, restaurant, and warehouse jobs as part of a multi-state strike across the US South to demand better health and safety for service workers. #UnionsForAll#OrganizeTheSouth
