From New Flyer workers organizing with @CWAUnion, Blue Bird workers organizing with @steelworkers, and Volkswagen and soon-to-be Mercedes workers organizing with @UAW, working people are claiming their power in the South.
We love to see it. #OrganizeTheSouth
New Flyer workers in Alabama have formed a union with CWA and inked a contract with big raises! ✊
The contract also restricts forced overtime and expands paid time off to include more parental leave and a Juneteenth holiday.

Is Mercedes really "neutral" in this union vote?
Depends who they're talking to.
On the public-facing side of the fence: VOTE!
On the worker-facing side of the fence: VOTE NO!

Kroger and Albertsons announced plans to sell off hundreds more stores in an effort to get their disastrous mega-merger passed by regulators. This plan only makes a bad idea worse. Read the latest update from our #StopTheMerger🚫 coalition:

“I make no apologies for my Administration protecting the right to organize and bargain collectively.”
Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with workers and vetoing this House scheme to weaken workers' collective bargaining rights.

Good News for Union Members—Union members saw record raises over the past year, but pay for nonunion workers barely beat inflation
Wages of private-sector union members rose 6.3% over past year, the biggest jump since 2001—Nonunion workers saw a 4.1% bump
