"We, as workers, have a common enemy that is raising prices and keeping our wages down consciously—and it’s not your immigrant neighbor. It is the billionaire who owns your company & probably owns the property that you rent from." -Dave Foley, @seiu509.bsky.social

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Workers rule.

Today, union members and working people from all races and places rise together—not to defend broken systems, but to protect each other. Our families. Our futures. Our communities. #NoKings

When politicians and billionaires try to divide working people by scapegoating immigrants, we know exactly who benefits — and it’s NOT everyday people working hard just to make ends meet. (1/2)

"When our member was kidnapped off the streets by ICE, we knew about it before anybody did." This is how unions can play a crucial role in standing up to Trump's war against immigrants.

BREAKING: Workers in the Boston area just WON the 650th Starbucks union election!

Starbucks has only gotten worse under the leadership of CEO Brian Niccol. Over 12,000 union workers are using their collective voice to speak out against corporate greed and demand a fair union contract!

SBWU members wear party hats and celebrate outside of a Starbucks location. They hold signs that spell out "DAVIS SQ. UNION - 650!"
