Just 29 people control $4.1 trillion. That's more wealth than the entire GDP of every country on Earth except the top three. In the hands of a single bus full of people. Tell me again we can't afford living wages for everyone one more time.
Look at this chart. LOOK AT IT. For 15 years wages and home-buying costs moved together. Then 2021 hit and housing costs went vertical while wages kept crawling. This is a policy choice.
Security guards working for security contractors in SF, LA & Silicon Valley authorized a ULP strike after months of negotiations & an insulting pay raise offer. Billion-dollar tech firms rely on workers for safety but security contractor employers giving low pay is unacce…
Palantir, the notorious defense surveillance company, has now embedded itself into our news media. 800+ unionized journalists at USA Today Co. called out the absurd partnership. Total radio silence from management while they keep milking reader data for profit. Business as usual.
Worker pay has plummeted to its lowest share of the economy since the Great Depression. Corporations continue to rake in record profits while the people doing the actual work receive an ever shrinking fraction of the profits they generate.
You can’t claim record profits on earnings calls with shareholders then plead poverty at the bargaining table when workers demand better wages. These companies think their profits aren't public record or something. We know the value we create. And we’re coming to take it back.
Don’t let them lie to you. So called right-to-work laws are designed specifically to suppress the working class. States without them saw a 300% increase in union membership vs states with regressive worker protections. Workers cannot ignore politics. Politics aren't ignoring you.
BREAKING: US union membership just saw its BIGGEST JUMP SINCE 2008, adding 411,000 members. The message is clear: where states protect collective bargaining, working people are fighting back against the cost-of-living crisis and building real working class power.
Profitable companies would never slash a third of their workforce in the morning and then authorize a $1 billion stock buyback after lunch. Oh wait, BILL Holdings did exactly that last May. They pumped their stock price at the expense of human livelihoods. Do you get it yet?
Remember folks, workers share of the economic pie hasn't been this low since the great depression. Wages are still falling. Prices are still skyrocketing. But corporate profits are up, so that's a good thing right? Right?
Wage growth is collapsing for everyone except CEOs, while working families absorb compounding price increases on essentials. We are paying for record corporate profits twice, through stagnant wages and inflated prices.
Employer health insurance costs face an 11% projected jump unless companies aggressively cut benefits. Corporations will use this squeeze to justify higher deductibles, unaffordable premiums, and to deny pay raises. All while posting record profits. Do not let them!
Volkswagen is putting 50,000 workers on notice for layoffs. They made over $6,000,000,000 in pure profit this last year. Greed isn’t just an American issue, it's a global labor issue.
The richest 100 people in the US now hold more wealth than the entire bottom half of the country combined. Just one hundred individuals control more than 160 million Americans. One hundred oligarchs or the entire working class. Choose a side.
Nearly half of American families cannot afford basic living expenses. When full-time work leaves you one emergency away from ruin while your employer rakes in billions, the system is fundamentally broken.
"Politics doesn't affect me" is the most expensive sentence in the English language. It decided that Starbucks got away with union busting for years. It decided whether tax dollars fund ICE electroshock gloves or school lunches. None of us have the luxury to sit out any longer.
200 Teamsters across NY showed management what solidarity looks like. After a 24-hour strike, locals at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits won a 5-year deal with 30% wage increases, a 20% pension bump, and stronger job protections. When we organize, we win!
Labor Day isn't a monument to a fight already won. It's a reminder the fight never stopped. Nurses standing up to Palantir. Starbucks Union boycotting their employer. Teachers and engineers threaten to strike. Worker protections under attack. That wasn't 1894. That was this week.
John Deere tried to skip out on negotiating with the UAW. They wanted to extend contracts instead of facing off at the bargaining table. The union looked at the billions in profits they’re paying to shareholders and stock buybacks and said “Hell no, we’ll see you next year!”
Half the country wants unions to have more influence and 71% now favor them, the highest approval in decades. Workers are done swallowing anti-union corporate propaganda. We’re fed up with record profits and stagnant wages. Collective bargaining is the only way to fight back.
The single greatest way to prevent crime is to prevent poverty. Investing in living wages, education, job training, public transit, and affordable housing. That's it. It's not vilifying immigrants. It's not surveilling every corner. Want safer streets? Start with living wages.
This week hundreds of nurses across 8 cities took to the streets to demand hospitals cut ties with Palantir. Since when are hospitals an arm of the surveillance state? We must purge Palantir from our healthcare systems. Surveillance tech has no place in healthcare!
No one working for a trillion-dollar company should live in poverty. When massive corporations refuse to pay a living wage, taxpayers foot the bill through public assistance. We are subsidizing their record profits so the elites can buy another election.
STRIKE ALERT: IBEW 125 utility workers at Oregon Trail Electric are on strike because management forced 24/7 uncompensated standby and fired linemen for not answering calls off the clock. Your time is your time. If they want you on call, they better be prepared to pay for it!
In 1970, a full-time minimum wage summer job covered a full year of public college tuition and books, no loans, no debt. Today, covering the same tuition and books at minimum wage takes about 1,800 hours, or 35 hours a week, every week, for an entire year.
Why is it always ‘just budget better’ or ‘find a better job’ and never ‘if a society depends on a job to function, that job should pay enough to live in it’?
BREAKING: A Tax Foundation analysis shows the effects Trump's tariffs are having on full-time work. The reduced working hours equal 345,000 FULL-TIME JOBS LOST. That's real money out of workers' paychecks on top of adding $1,000 to household expenses.
Don't forget: Starbucks is boycotted. The company has received hundreds of NLRB rulings against it and still has 550 cases pending. Corporate is refusing to finalize a fair contract. Meanwhile, their CEO makes $14,900/hr. Baristas are asking for $17. No contract? No coffee.
At what point are we just priced out of everything? We can't afford to buy homes, cars, or healthcare. Childcare costs an entire paycheck and forget about affording their college. What's the elite's endgame here? Just 7 rich people in a bunker while the world burns around them?
STRIKE PENDING: Seattle Education Association voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, with 91% of union employees voting in favor. They represent 6000 union workers. The district has yet to reach a new contract. School starts in a week. Stall tactics won’t work this time.

Instead of handing public money to Wall Street, Illinois passed a law allowing the state to invest in the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust. The funds will build affordable housing while guaranteeing good-paying union construction jobs. A massive win for all workers!
