We’re building our union for service workers across the South by any means necessary. #OrganizetheSouth #UnionsforAll
BREAKING: Waffle House workers in Orangeburg, SC are ON STRIKE.

We're demanding:
⚖️ No more favoritism
💰 Fair pay
🦺 Safe working conditions
🍽️ An end to unfair meal deductions

When workers stand up, we all rise.

Service workers from the South gathered in Selma to honor our movement ancestors. On the Edmund Pettus Bridge, we felt their courage—and carry it with us. From Selma to Louisiana, we march for immigrant rights and justice for all. The fight isn’t over. #SolidaritySummer

Today we kicked off the Justice Journey from Durham, NC heading down to Louisiana with 100s of workers from across the country.

We’re standing up for our union siblings unjustly detained by ICE.

🧵 We stood with community allies to rally and march outside the offices of Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, demanding they vote NO on the Big Really Bad Bill. #ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #OrganizeTheSouth

After delivering our strike notice directly to the Waffle House CEO this morning, we took the fight to the Windy Hill Rd. store where FIVE workers walked off the job to demand: safety, $25/hour, and an end to unfair meal deductions. #OrganizeTheSouth

This morning, we delivered a strike notice directly to Waffle House CEO Joe Rogers III at corporate HQ. We’re demanding the same safe working conditions they have on their corporate campus, the ones they hide behind to keep US out. #UnionsForAll #OrganizeTheSouth
