It's DAY 12 of our national, open-ended ULP strike.

Thousands of baristas in over 65 cities are on strike demanding higher wages, better hours, and an end to union-busting. And we're just getting started 🔥

58% of Americans think billionaires spending more money on elections is bad, while only 12% think it's a good thing.

We asked 2,500 Americans how they really feel about billionaires
Campaign donations from the country’s richest are soaring. But only 12 percent of respondents say billionaires have a positive impact on society.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks.

This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Congratulations to the 1,000 nurses at Magee who voted to unionize in a historic election.

Nearly 1,000 UPMC Magee-Womens Hospitals nurses vote to unionize
Those in favor of a union at the hospital say the push came so that they can have more time with their patients along with having a seat at the decision-making table.

The same legislators who claim that the state government doesn't have enough money to fund essential services refuse to consider a solution staring them in the face.

We need to tax the rich & make PA's billionaires pay their fair share.

Pennsylvania’s budget crisis is political, not fiscal | Opinion
The budget fight isn’t over; there are solutions on the table. But we’re done accepting a system where the richest man in the state gets a free ride while the rest of us are told to tighten our belts.

We strongly support the nurses at UPMC Magee standing up & fighting for the working conditions they deserve.

UPMC needs to stop the union-busting and put its workers and patients first.
I proudly stand with the nearly 1000 nurses at UPMC Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh in their fight for patient care and safe staffing.

Rather than put nurses and patients first, UPMC has run a vicious anti-union campaign.

UPMC must get serious and respect its workers.

Our members head back to work on Monday & welcome students back to school on 8/25. A strike is always a last resort; after all, we're parents of Philly school students, too.

The 1-year extension of our last CBA gave the School District ample notice of members' needs. Where's the urgency, SDP?

PA Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman is out raising money today at a high dollar fundraiser instead of working to pass a state budget.

We suggest giving him a call at (724) 357-0151 to let him know you feel about that. ⛳️

Trash piling up? Libraries & pools closed? Long wait times for emergency calls?

Text DC33 to 30403 to contact the Mayor's office & tell them to give striking AFSCME DC 33 workers a fair contract.

Last month, Mayor Cherelle Parker's city budget gave tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations in Philly. Now, she claims there's no money left for striking city workers to make a living wage.

Text DC33 to 30403 to contact the Mayor's office & tell her to give AFSCME DC 33 workers a fair contract.

The PA Working Families Party State Committee stands in solidarity with the workers of AFSCME DC 33 who made the difficult decision to go on strike.

It's time for the city to provide them with a fair contract and the benefits they deserve.

Republicans are telling us they don’t have the money to feed hungry families, or provide healthcare to people depending on Medicaid. Meanwhile, the Pentagon gets a blank check.
