Congratulations to Starbucks workers with @SBWorkersUnited who, in the face of a brutal anti union campaign, keep winning even in some of the most anti worker cities in the country! #UnionsForAll

Workers are demanding that elected leaders pick a side; are you w/ working people or price gouging corporations? I'm honored to stand w/ leaders who chose to side with the people & airport workers who made it happen. The Good Jobs Good Airports Act will raise wages & standards.

Poverty shouldn't exist, but it's the reality for millions of workers. We need real change. We need to #raisethewage and make #unionsforall a reality. @RevDrBarber @UniteThePoor

Poverty is a policy choice. Which side are you on?

A series of anti-poverty policies in response to the pandemic offer a glimpse of what's possible when we center the needs of the poor.

ICYMI this weekend @berniesanders said "Yes we are going to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour, and by the way, we're gonna make it easier for workers to join unions." To unrig economy, workers need right to join together in a union no matter where they work #UnionsForAll

Grocery workers at 87 stores will strike next week. The workers who have kept America fed during the pandemic have more than earned respect and a decent wage. It's time for corporations to deliver. #Solidarity #1u @UFCW #unionsforall #respectprotectpayus

King Soopers union workers plan 3-week strike starting Wednesday at 87 Colorado grocery stores

Charges of unfair labor practices are on both sides as negotiations on a new contract have apparently not been successful.

Solidarity with and a big thank you to farm workers across the nation who have made Christmas possible. From evergreens to poinsettias, the U.S. owes its festive greenery to farm workers like Jesus! #SolidaritySeason

Jesus shared some of the work of his coworkers in a poinsettia nursery in Gilroy CA. Each plant was carefully watered and fed until they were wrapped in festive foil and placed in homes around the country during the holiday season. #WeFeedYou

This #LaborDay , take a moment to say thanks to essential workers — especially care workers — who make all other work possible. Then join their fight to be respected, protected and paid.

I spoke with @helaineolen from @washingtonpost about how America can update our laws to make sure all working people -- no matter what our color or what kind of work we do -- can form unions to get a seat at the table. #UnionsForAll

Opinion | SEIU has an ambitious new plan for workers’ rights. Democratic candidates should take...

In a Wednesday speech, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry will debut a "Unions for All" plan.

I applaud @senwarren for calling out the attack on unions, racial injustice and the use of fear and hatred to distract and divide us. I agree that we need an economy and democracy that works for all of us. We must also fight for #UnionsForAll no matter where you work.

Working families all across our country are struggling with higher prices amid corporate price gouging. Senate must act to lower costs, create good union jobs & lift up working families.

Headline CPI rose +1.2% in March, for a year-ended rate of 8.5%. Core inflation slightly lower than anticipated, rising by only 0.3%, yielding a year-ended rate of 6.5%. Obviously inflation is higher than we hope. But this report is slightly better than anticipated.

Most American workers want a union -- regardless of political party. Yet, just ~10% of workers have one. Why? The rules are rigged. It's time for elected leaders to make it easier for workers to win their union! #UnionsForAll
