Grab your tablet or clipboard, lace up your walking shoes: it's organizing time. This is a GREAT day for door knockers and public interest fans everywhere. Canvass directors have the hardest jobs in our family, and we're ready to give them the support they deserve.

Thanks @SenWarren. No one should have to choose between making a difference and making ends meet, and we're glad to know leaders like you have our backs.

I stand with @TPINunion in their fight to secure a fair contract and urge @TPINNetwork to negotiate in good faith. From auto workers to researchers and organizers in the clean energy section, these workers deserve a fair contract that reflects the critical work they do.

Read the latest from our President @PWUprez CJ Garcia-Linz in @TeenVogue calling on progressive leaders to work with their unions and ratify strong contracts. It's time for non profits like @SierraClub @BenJealous to live their values. teenvogue.com/story/labor-mo…

The Labor Movement Includes Nonprofit Workers, Too

"Many of the progressive nonprofits who have loudly supported labor campaigns from the sidelines have been awfully quiet about their own staff unions."

Two years ago, a group of public interest advocates came together with a simple vision: no one should have to choose between making a difference and making ends meet We're proud of what we've accomplished together & committed to building a stronger, more-sustainable organization

The Union remains committed to honestly bargaining a fair contract in the spirit of our shared values. We hope management lives up to that value when they return to the bargaining table with us.

That feeling when you get so many signed union authorization cards in your email that google starts thinking it's spam.

Bipartisan majorities support extending overtime pay to more workers, according to a new poll from Data for Progress.

NEW POLL: Recent proposals by the NLRB and Department of Labor would expand worker pay and the right to organize. We find that 72% of voters support raising the salary threshold so more salaried workers are eligible for overtime pay. filesforprogress.org/dataset…
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress. Title: A Majority of Voters Support Expanding Overtime Pay to More Salaried Workers. Description: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guarantees overtime pay to eligible employees who work more than 40 hours per week at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular pay for additional work. As you may have heard, the Department of Labor recently issued new salary thresholds for the FLSA. Currently, employers are only required to provide overtime pay to workers earning less than $35,568 per year. The new salary thresholds would require employers to provide overtime pay to workers earning less than $55,068 per year. Do you support or oppose this change? All likely voters — Support: 72%, Oppose: 20% Democrat — Support: 79%, Oppose: 14% Independent / Third party — Support: 70%, Oppose: 20% Republican — Support: 65%, Oppose: 28% September 1–4, 2023 survey of 1,209 likely voters.
