We’ve waited months for this day! @CSUEU and all of us just filed over 4,000 signatures to have the largest student assistant union in history!!! #UnionizeCA #UnionizeCalifornia @LorenaSGonzalez @CaliforniaLabor @CYDLabor Now it’s time for @calstate to let us vote 🗳️

Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien presented his report to delegates of the Teamsters 31st International Convention in Las Vegas. O’Brien highlighted the remarkable strides the union has taken over the last five years. These accomplishments include organizing 100,000 new workers, securing passage of high priority legislation at all levels of government, and waging 350 strikes against the worst employers in North America. “Over the last four years, Teamsters across North America reminded the world exactly who we are. We organized at unprecedented rates. We mobilized in every corner of the continent. We negotiated strong contracts across all industries. We took on greedy employers and held corrupt politicians accountable. And we struck more than 350 times,” O’Brien said. “Together, we rebuilt the Teamsters into the most aggressive, effective, and respected labor union on Earth. We’re bigger. We’re faster. We’re stronger. The Teamsters are back, baby, so buckle up!”

RT @LorenaSGonzalez: I like THIS Gavin Newsom. Now, what are we going to do about it?

Do you not think that these county workers should be paid a livable wage? Just because your chosen candidates lost, doesn’t mean there’s fraud. Workers,no matter the industry, should be paid a livable wage with benefits that they can rely on.

As corporate America continues to own and dominate our air waves and streaming services, why not build our own, dedicated to uplifting worker voices! More to come 🔜 Together, we are bringing the movement to the mic 🎙️(2/2)

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The Teamsters-led Faster Labor Contracts Act has just passed the U.S. House with bipartisan support. Together, we will ensure the FLCA also moves through the Senate and is signed into law, so fast first union contracts become a reality for millions of American workers.

WE are headed to November. If you're fired up... join our movement: maiforus.com

This isn’t union.

TEAMSTERS-LED FASTER LABOR CONTRACTS ACT PASSES U.S. HOUSE WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT With bipartisan support, the U.S. House of Representatives today passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), a Teamsters-led bill that could become the strongest new labor legislation for American workers in generations. Just three weeks prior, the discharge petition filed by Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ, 1st District) received the 218 signatures needed to force a vote on the landmark law that would hold employers accountable for delaying first union contracts.     “The Faster Labor Contracts Act is the most consequential labor bill to come before Congress in decades. Its bipartisan passage out of the House of Representatives is a significant milestone for millions of American workers,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “The 1.3-million member Teamsters Union has worked tirelessly to build a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents who are committed to improving the lives of working people. Millions of workers at Amazon and other major companies who are fed up with being overworked, underpaid, and undervalued are organizing their unions today in record numbers. We can no longer tolerate a broken system that allows corporations to corruptly drag out negotiations and shirk their legal obligations to bargain fair first union contracts. The FLCA has a real shot to right generations of wrongs and level the playing field for workers. The Teamsters are eager for the Senate to take up this urgent legislation and ensure it lands on the President’s desk.”    The FLCA would amend the National Labor Relations Act to require employers to bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union. Establishing a reasonable timeline for all parties to negotiate in good faith, the legislation provides a path to mediation if no agreement is reached within 90 days and a referral to arbitration to ensure first contracts can be fairly resolved.    The Senate version of the bill, introduced last year by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), continues to gain strong bipartisan support.    “The Teamsters Union is grateful to all members of the U.S. House who had the courage to stand with workers, to put aside partisan politics, and to advance this legislation,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. “Right now, hardworking Americans are forced to wait 458 days on average for their employers to stop playing games, get to the table, and negotiate first union contracts. With the full support of the Teamsters Union, the FLCA will put an end to this corporate corruption and give workers the opportunity they deserve to lead better lives and rebuild the American middle class. The Teamsters thank Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D, NY-08) and House Republicans and Democrats who did the right thing to bring this important bill to the floor. The Senate must schedule its own markup and pass the FLCA as soon as possible.”

Tomorrow the U.S. House will vote on the bipartisan Faster Labor Contracts Act. With this vote, it will be unequivocally clear who’s supporting American workers in both word and action — and who’s just paying lip service to get re-elected. The Faster Labor Contracts Act is THE bill. And now is the time. Are you standing with workers or are you standing in our way? #resultsnotexcuses. @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats

Amazon makes its living by using the corrupt Delivery Service Partner model to exploit workers and hide behind third-party subcontractors when it breaks the law. It’s time for the Delivery Service Partner model to end. That starts by passing the Delivery Protection Act in New York City.

Billionaires are coming back stronger and with more money. Beating Matt Mahan was only step 1. There’s more coming.

Don’t worry guys, only 37 days until this election is fully counted.

So proud of my boss, @EleniForCA for being the top vote getter among any statewide non-incumbent as she heads into the general election in November with the best team behind her. Eleni will make a great state Treasurer!

Workers over Big Tech Billionaires.

If you think I’m brutal, you should see what my staff prepared to send out as soon as the first results came in… good job billionaire tech bros! Bye bye Mahan!

No AI system will ever replace the human touch or judgment of a nurse. Thank you Assemblymember @AsmLizOrtega for fighting for the issues workers care about by authoring #AB2575, the Health Care by Humans Act! We have to ensure qualified, trained nurses and other healthcare workers are empowered to make the final call on our healthcare decisions, not AI robots.

THANK YOU Assembly Speaker @CASpeakerRivas for standing with workers over AI billionaires and voting YES on @CaliforniaLabor's sponsored bills in the Assembly to create strong guardrails on artificial intelligence in the workplace! ✅ #AB1883 - Stop AI Strip Searches ✅ #AB2575 - Protect Healthcare by Humans ✅ #AB2564 - Ban Surveillance Pricing ✅ #AB1776 - Stop Corporate Monopolies’ Anti-Competitive & Union-Busting Practices

Getting play by play updates from our @CaliforniaLabor legislative team on our priority bills. (All of which got off the Assembly floor tonight!) Grateful for kick-ass authors and labor legislative advocates that never stop working…especially our @saraflocks … the GOAT!
