“This #LaborDay, I want you to remember that you are not just a cog in the billionaires' machine. You are a member of the #WorkingClass. You have dignity. Now is the time to #organize & fight back.” - @BernieSanders ⠀ “Labor Day celebrates the American worker & the rights they have won through many struggles & protests. 1882, a march for shorter hours, higher pay, & safer working conditions was organized by New York #socialists, labor organizers & other #leftists. ⠀ 2022, thousands of workers have fought for the same rights by unionizing. This year, workers have won 77% of their NLBR elections & petitions for future elections are up 60%. ⠀ Major corporations incl. #Starbucks #Amazon #REI & #TraderJoes have seen hundreds of workers unionize or declare their intent to this year.” - @MediaMattersForAmerica ⠀ “59% of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck & many are unable to afford an emergency expense of $400. Yet, corporate profits are going up. We need to stand up together, organize, & demand better.” - @fightfor15 ⠀ “What recent #union victories show is that working-class #Americans are sick & tired of being exploited by large corps. Let us stand together in the fight for justice. - @BernieSanders ⠀ “The biggest weapons that anti-union corps have in suppressing #labor momentum are the fear of retaliation & a sense that unionization is futile. The recent successes show unionizing no longer seems so frightening or so futile." - @truthout ⠀ Every American is entitled to the right to join a union, decent wages & benefits, #AffordableHousing, #HealthCare & educational opportunity. Let us go forward in #solidarity.” - @BernieSanders ⠀ “Even in searing heat, #FarmWorkers will make sure your kitchen is well stocked. We deserve to choose how we stand up for ourselves & each other, free from intimidation or deportation.” - @UFWupdates @GavinNewsom sign #AB2183 @CaGovernor ☎️916- 445-2841 ⠀ “We stand in solidarity w/ @SBWorkersUnited fighting to #unionize. Corps shouldn't be allowed to write off anti-union activity on their #taxes. #Congress pass #NoTaxBreaksForUnionBusting act!” - @4TaxFairness ☎️202-224-3121
