What the union is trying to accomplish here is fundamental to having a better life. All of my accolades and praise are owed to these teachers for taking this on. What they want is the American dream. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-t...

Big Bill Haywood had a simple dream: to build one big union for all workers in every industry.

He was born in Salt Lake City on February 4, 1869. His father died when Bill was just 3 years old. Bill grew up with little education... 🧵 #unionhistory #laborhistory #1u #solidarity

We had a good discussion with @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, President of @afacwa.org, at this week's @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. Flight attendants keep us safe in the air, and they deserve fair pay, strong protections, and respect on the job.

Always energizing to spend time with my friend @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants–CWA, AFL–CIO.

She’s an outstanding labor leader, & together we’re fighting to ensure flight attendants get the fair pay & strong protections they have earned.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
