Something is wrong with a system where 76% of workers say they’re worried to make ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what the median worker does.
Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back.

While Kennedy Jr. had reached out to CDC staff and said "no one should face violence while working to protect the health of others", Dr. Jerome Adams, a former Surgeon General, described Kennedy Jr.'s response as "tepid" and that Kennedy Jr. must do more given his past "inflammatory rhetoric".[49] On August …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j2kmiyhld5btzozgzwy3lc2m/bafkreieae7pffyxiev3nxez7ht7sbvjcjw2f3dujvfj66vgu5fgiz6y7p4@jpeg)
