🚨NEW: Uber is throwing a fit in Minneapolis over paying drivers fairly. We’ve studied their tactics since 2018 & found it’s part of a larger pattern. Here are 3 tactics we found that corps like Uber & Lyft use to exploit communities across the country 👉powerswitchaction.org/resources/disr…
Fran Marion, #KansasCity fast food worker and @standup_kc organizer, shares her experience as a low-wage worker in #FoodInc2, a documentary examining the harmful impact corporations have on our food system, their exploitation of workers, and how we can fight back. #MOworkers
BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold. The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half. That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568. substack.perfectunion.us/p/the-departme…
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
.@NelpNews published a guide to debunk the claims made in Amazon's safety report, calling out the misleading figures the company is using to hide its worker injury crisis: bit.ly/3JpGsBf #STL8 workers know the only way to hold Amazon accountable is by forming a union.
🌍 DAY 3 IN VIENNA & BERLIN: Our group finished up the Vienna part of the trip by meeting with Jürgen Czernohorszky, the Executive City Councillor for Climate, Environment, Democracy and Personnel, where we learned about green social housing and the city’s climate strategy.
The truth is that workers are building power in the South and politicians who’ve made immoral partnerships with corporate interests are feeling the heat. It’s past time for all God’s people to stand up for living wages and union rights.
"A CA fast food worker would have to work 1,333 yrs to earn what the head of @McDonalds earns in a yr. To me, that’s the perfect symbol of how excess corporate power has fueled inequality in this country." @standup_kc leaders like Fran Marion are fighting this inequality in MO.

“I'm human too. What we're going through is economic injustice. Why is it we're fighting so hard to get what we deserve as humans? I bet you my CEO has health care. I bet you my CEO has paid time off. So what's the difference? Why can't I have the same?” -Fran @moworkerscenter

The owner of the Oakland Athletics—who is worth $3.1 billion—yanked his baseball team from Oakland because the public didn't want to pay $855 million for his new ballpark. Now voters in Las Vegas, where he wants to move, also look poised to say no. You love to see it.

It's important to give the VW workers & Shawn Fain HUGE CREDIT for the UAW's HISTORIC LANDSLIDE WIN in Tennessee It's the FIRST TIME a union has unionized a foreign-owned auto plant in the South It's a breakthrough & will no doubt inspire non-union auto workers across the South
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.

Unions only threaten your values if you value denying workers a living wage and good benefits, governor.
As governors, we speak up when we see special interests looking to threaten our states’ jobs & values. The UAW has come in making big promises they can't keep — we won't stand for that. #alpolitics My joint statement with other southern governors: bit.ly/3xKWanS
