“Our members are worried about taxes. They’re all worried about their wages. They’re worried about being able to afford gas. They wouldn’t be able to pay for a house, get a loan. They’re paying off credit cards instead of accumulating.” seiu.co/4g1lHh1

The South is beautiful, and we're trying to make it even better for the working people who make it what it is! @RaiseUptheSouth is demanding fairer pay, safer working conditions, and union rights for the workers who make delicious southern cuisine and ensure a great experience through southern hospitality!

The vibes are insane. Driving through the great state of Louisiana on our way to New Orleans. It’s crazy how diverse this country is, every day the scenery looks different.

Once again, take their free pizza AND STILL organize your union anyway! #UnionsForAll
When the HR Ladies hear you prefer a cash bonus instead of a pizza party

First, speaking truth to power is giving a damn, NOT complaining.
Second, union workers have been the backbone of America’s middle class, and yet for too long, their contributions have not been fully appreciated. Our unions fuel equality—increasing wages across ALL demographic groups.
Lastly, not only did workers build the middle class, but we're the ones STILL pushing back against guys like this who want to hollow it out.

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

Thinkkkking that most people in America would prefer affordable healthcare, gas prices, and groceries. Just a thought! 🤔

It shouldn’t be this way and it doesn’t HAVE to be this way! The fastest way to build a future that actually works for people starts with investing in service workers.
Working people already know how to solve problems, care for our communities, train the next generation, and keep America running every single day.
If we want a stronger economy, safer communities, and a future where more people can thrive, working people need a seat at the table.
Build with us, NOT around us.
We said *cancel* medical debt not *create* medical debt.
ALT NYT Headline and Subheadline that reads: Can’t Pay Medical Bills? Trump Officials Suggest Getting a Loan. One-third of Americans shoulder health care debt. Insurers are being asked to consider lending money to Obamacare consumers who can’t afford higher deductibles.

When Trump and others within the regime spew this junk, we gotta BELIEVE THEM!

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”
“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”
"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."
"I love the inflation."
Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

Solidarity with healthcare workers at @SEIU_UHW who are demanding pay caps for medical executives and fighting to ensure community clinics spend the bulk of their revenues on patient care. It’s unconscionable that our hospitals often lack supplies and staffing levels that healthcare workers need in order to do their jobs effectively. It’s high time we reallocate money towards hiring more staff so we can provide better care to our patients! #CareIsEssential seiu.co/49Xoq7g

As inflation surged to the highest level since early 2023 causing many of us to struggle at the gas pump and grocery store checkout… just hours ago Pres. Trump told us “I love the inflation.”
This is the same guy that told us he doesn't think about our financial situation at all, by the way. 😡

Palantir is building a surveillance state around us, collecting our data, and collaborating with corporations and the government to use it against us. We MUST fight back. It is essential for our freedom at work and at home!

🚨 BREAKING: Palantir has received a contract from the Trump Administration to accumulate and centralize data on Americans.

Even after bragging to the public at Summer Game Fest, where they showcased upcoming titles that their employees worked hard to deliver, corporations like @Ubisoft will sacrifice their workers at any sign of trouble. And worse, they attempted to shield that information from the public to shape their own narrative after devastating these working families. Video game workers, like all working people, must unite to defend our communities from mass layoffs and studio closures!

Earlier today, Insider Gaming received emails from several Ubisoft employees that two of its studios were shutting down and hundreds of employees would be affected. Subsequently, after corroborating said information, we ran with those stories.
This is normal journalism. It's a normal practice - you get news from sources, you corroborate, you try to get a comment from the company, and you publish.
After some of these stories went live, Ubisoft contacted us to say that the information was under an embargo (which IG never received), which, frankly, is weird but understandable, since employees should be told first by their employer. However, before each story went live, the affected teams were informed of the impacts, and that's how we found out; it just wasn't a company-wide announcement yet. Sure, there were probably a few people who were affected and didn't know about the layoffs/changes, but it has NEVER been the media's job to protect a company.
Developers find out about layoffs all the time via the media, and I even know of instances of journalists pursuing a story, texting/emailing developers BEFORE their dreaded all-hands meeting to say they would be laid off in a matter of hours. The fact is, it is shit to report on layoffs, but ultimately, it's a part of our job.
Am I glad we published articles on layoffs today? Hell no. But I am glad that we did what we were supposed to do.
Personally, I think as an industry, we're running into quite dangerous ground when we start abiding by embargoes about layoffs, but even more so when we publish the info like we learned info from sources rather than the company itself... But maybe that's just me.

Roughly 48% of Americans said their financial situation is worse, the highest share since January 2023. This is the culmination of #GreedyCEOs undermining working people. Workers are often the first to feel the impact when corporate decisions prioritize the bottom line over the people creating the value. seiu.co/4oo7fSf

Congrats to the cashiers, concession workers, bartenders, dishwashers, cooks and food attendants who voted to go ON STRIKE at SoFi Stadium—just days before the World Cup—to win higher pay, job security, protections against subcontracting, & push back against ICE at the games. Collective action works! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 seiu.co/43qO6FC

💯facts and this ruse by Pres. Trump is about distracting working people while gas prices, food, and energy bills skyrocket all around us. None of us need a new ballroom, a UFC event at the White House, or our President at a #NYKnicks game. We need a living wage, affordable healthcare, and #UnionsForAll!

Charlamagne tha God on Trump: “For once can this guy give working class people a break? His policies have already stifled job growth, raised the cost of basic goods through tariffs, weakened labor rights to favor corporations and other rich people like himself, gas prices are through the roof. Guys like James Dolan and Donald Trump hate us. The working class people who make them rich. When Donald Trump says things like he’s not thinking about Americans’ finances not even a little bit, this is what he means”

It doesn’t have to be this way! We show up to our jobs every day to do the work that keeps America running.

The 9-5 experience is leaving work tired, getting home tired, sleeping tired, then waking up tired to go back to work.

Let’s be clear: none of this should be seen as radical for young workers.
✅ The right to join a union
✅ Affordable healthcare
✅ A living wage
✅ Affordable housing
What is radical? Letting #GreedyCEOs convince us we don’t deserve any of it and sticking to an outdated status quo. Millennial and Gen Z workers should have affordable housing, not a lifetime of debt!
My boomer uncle told me to just buy a house and stop renting.
I make $58,000 a year.
The cheapest house in my city is $380,000.
I’d need $76,000 for a 20% down payment.
I save $400 a month when everything goes right.
That’s 15 years of perfect months just to get to the front door.
No car repairs. No medical bills. No emergencies. No life.
Just saving.
He bought his first house at 29 with 3 months of salary.
Then told me I need better priorities.

For working people already facing high costs and uncertainty, these numbers aren’t just statistics, they reflect real stress, lost hours, and fewer opportunities. It’s time to stop centering #GreedyCEOs and start focusing on everyday, working people’s right to good jobs and a living wage.
