The Senate held a hearing yesterday on the topic of Labor Law Reform. Some witnesses testified in favor of a bill that proposes to make first contracts easier to reach between unions and employers.
But hovering over this hearing was the NLRB and its staffing and funding crises.

And that's why Prime Day is the perfect time to stop clicking "add to cart" and support the workers organizing Amazon instead... bit.ly/primetimetoo...
Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...
-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

BREAKING: Starbucks workers in Seattle are participating in a practice picket outside of the Starbucks Roastery, the company's flagship store.
Starbucks is still failing to finalize fair union contracts. Baristas don't want to strike... but if they have to, they're ready. ✊🔥
