AT&T has announced closures of call centers across the Midwest including our sales office in Southfield. They must stop shutting down centers and sending those jobs overseas. Solidarity with @D4Cwa in their fight against corporate greed.

🧵We've been getting a lot of questions on how non-members can support @sagaftra @WGAEast @WGAWest. As of now, neither SAG-AFTRA nor the WGA have demanded a boycott of movie theaters, TV networks, or streaming services—here's how you can support this #OnStrikeSummer instead ⤵️

Michigan voters now have the right to vote early in all statewide and federal elections. Learn how Oakland Co. is working with local municipalities to offer early voting to voters as efficiently and effectively as possible. #MIVoting bridgemi.com/guest-commentar…

On his last day as @aftmichigan president, an appreciation thread for @DavidBHecker. A powerful force in the labor movement. A fighter for educational and economic equity. And a thoughtful, caring person. Michigan is better for his service. /1
