Voting Yes on Proposition 50 is vitally important to farm workers and immigrant families. Trump is attacking and targeting latino families. Yes on Proposition 50 pushes back to protect our voices in Congress. It is a chance to stand together and say: enough is enough. #YesOnProp50

Congratulations to the gig drivers who fought for years to win the right to form a union. You did that! This is the power every single worker holds when we join together to demand dignity and respect. When we fight, we win!

California gig drivers now have the RIGHT to form a union and negotiate with Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies.

#AB1340 is a gamechanger! Now gig drivers can bargain together for better working conditions and respect!

¡Californianos pueden lograr un gran cambio votando SÍ en la propuesta 50!
Trump redistribuye distritos en TX para que republicanos controlen la Cámara. ¡En CA debemos resistir!
Si no votamos, arriesgamos dos años más de racismo malísimo. ¡Vote "SI" cuando reciba su boleta!

You have an opportunity to make a huge difference by voting Yes on CAs prop 50. Trump is redistricting TX to get 5 more seats so Republicans can continue to control the house. We must do the same in CA or we could have 2 more years of the current oppressive racism. #YesOnProp50

We have the right to stand up to blatant wage theft that severely negatively affects our lives. Subway clearly doesn’t want us to know our rights, which give us tools to speak out against unfair practices, wage theft, and workplace abuses.

One of our coworkers is experiencing a housing crisis because they weren’t able to pay their rent!

And this is on top of the wage theft workers have already experienced and filed claims for.

BREAKING: Subway workers are on strike after not getting paid for multiple pay periods! We have been issued bad checks.

When we try to deposit or cash our checks, they are being rejected for insufficient funds.

Starbucks just announced major store closures and layoffs, making it clear things are only going Backwards at Starbucks under Brian Niccol’s leadership.

This company is NOT prioritizing baristas.

Our union is out in Chicago today to fight back.

Solidarity is how we stop bad bosses from allowing sexual harassment in our workplaces.

And we’ll keep building solidarity and power in our stores, while fighting to ensure every California fast food worker gets a raise and knows their rights.

We know our rights. While the fast food industry is running a campaign across the state to keep workers like us in the dark, we're organizing, fighting back, striking, and winning.

Today workers at JITB in Roseville walked off the job to protest management's failure to rid the store of sexual harassment and to respect a worker’s rights to disability/medical leave and reasonable accommodations. We won't stand for disability discrimination& retaliation for using our legal rights
