The AFL-CIO reports that the average CEO made 285 times what the median worker made in 2024. Meanwhile, the national minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25/hour for 16 years.

The best way to get paid what you’re worth? Join a union.

Remember this when kids are going hungry, when seniors and their families can't afford long-term care, when you get those higher medical and energy bills every month.

And remember the tax cut they gave billionaires like Jeff Bezos when he throws himself another $50 million party.

Scabby the Rat has a message for Chicago History Museum management: Do the right thing.

Workers and community supporters picketed against the museum’s decision to fire four workers and threaten the jobs of six more in retaliation for them exercising their right to form a union.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers!!! #1U
An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers.

Immigrants are vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement. They are America’s workers.

Learn your rights, from @deptofworkers.bsky.social:
Immigration
One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.
