Minnesota's 2023 DFL trifecta banned managers from forcing employees to attend anti-union "captive audience" meetings.
Heard about an organizing campaign where, instead, mgmt offers Let Your Voice Be Heard, open-door, drop-in hours each day.
No one's goes. Mgmt's embarrassed. Cancelled 'em.

Before 2008, workers in every state were guaranteed 26 weeks of unemployment insurance if they lost a job. Today, many states have cut back benefits, some to as little as 12 weeks. With the economy teetering, unemployment benefits are more important than ever.

About 8% of people lacked any form of health insurance in 2024. Unfortunately that rate will dramatically increase in the coming years, from 27 million to more than 40 million thanks to Republicans who cut Medicaid and ACA marketplace subsidies

The labor market continues to soften, according to the latest #JobsReport out this morning from the BLS. Payroll employment grew only 22,000 in August and revisions now show employment losses for June (-13,000). Over the last three months, job growth has slowed to just 29,000 on average.

Corporate America has been waging a war against the trade union movement for a simple reason:
They know that union workers earn higher wages and better benefits than non-union workers.

To me, today's jobs report is what entering a recession looks like. Could we pull up? Sure. But if we look back and end up dating an official recession that starts 3-6 months from now, this is what it would look like today - rapid softening/deterioration in the labor market.

Big news in today's #jobs report are the revisions. The labor market is much weaker than originally reported the last two months. While payrolls grew 73k in July, May and June data were revised down a total of 258k to 19k and 14k, respectively, bringing 3-month average growth down to 35k.

Today's #UIClaims data continue to show significantly higher continued unemployment insurance claims for federal workers than this time last year, up 59% for the week ending July 12 (compared to the same week last year). Hard to ignore when the divergence in trend began.

We’re grateful to have a Governor who kept her promise to working class Oregonians by signing SB 916 into law, which will grant striking workers the ability to access unemployment insurance.
Thank you, Governor Tina Kotek for standing up for working Oregonians and showing them you have our back.
