Today in Baltimore, we commemorated Workers Memorial Day by honoring the six Key Bridge workers who went out to a shift and never came home. On this solemn day, we want everyone to know: no matter who you are or where you're from, the labor movement will fight for you.

The union presence at @CES is proof that in order to build the brighter new world we all dream of, workers MUST have a seat at the table.
Working people have shaped this country through every technological revolution over the last 247 years, and will be there to build the next.

Across the United States, state legislators and corporations are doing all they can to halt union progress. But unions are not giving up without a fight. Including PEF. Read more about how Unions, and PEF, are fighting for you here: bit.ly/3CUIuWI

This #PublicServicesDay leaders meet for more climate talks.

🍃But a Global Green New Deal will🍃
When they say we can't afford that - ask them about the $30 trillion stashed in offshore tax havens 🤔

Looking forward to child workhouses that will naturally accompany this move bc children will no longer have access to public education either— the dystopian Koch / John Birch Society vision is coming to fruition

A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

The richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
