Workers at companies like McDonald's, bc of their very low wages, not only rely on #SNAP, but also on other govt programs for HC and housing. In fact, these companies help their new hires apply for these programs.

▶️ US taxpayers end up subsidizing the likes of McDonald's.

There are a lot of good people who work full-time and still must rely on SNAP and Medicaid.

VIVA LA AFSCME!
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from the Archives!
New Mexico highway workers vote 2-1 for AFSCME in 1972. Pictured are @afscme.bsky.social Local 2238 president George Gallegos, vice president John McDevitt, and secretary Zeke Mares. #HispanicHeritageMonth #LaborHistory #LaborUnions
A large chalkboard reads: "AFSCME 852, No 370, VIVA LA AFSCME." Three people stand around the chalkboard, smiling, with one pointing to the circled number 852. Resting on a table in the foreground is a poster with "join AFSCME" printed at the bottom and the words "Triumfo en Nuevo Mejico" hand written in big letters.

In an ornate ballroom of the Book-Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, a large group of people are seated at long rows of tables. The walls are mirrored and chandeliers hang from the ceiling. AFSCME's first convention, 1936.

AFSCME’s first official convention took place at Detroit’s Book-Cadillac Hotel, which opened in 1924 as the world’s tallest. For AFSCME’s convention, room rates were $3 for a single and $5 for a double. @afscme.bsky.social #LaborUnions #LaborHistory #Detroit #BookCadillac
A stack of papers on a folder. Folder tab reads: 5-6 AFSCME Convention; Folder 2. Top sheet letterhead for the Book Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Michigan, dated September 8, 1936. It has an illustration of the hotel in the bottom left corner. Letter is addressed to Arnold S. Zander, President, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Text of the letter: “Dear Mr. Zander: We have your letter of September 5th, relative to your forthcoming convention and wish to advise you that we will continue the same arrangements regarding room rates as those quoted the American Federation of Government Employees. We have quoted a flat rate of $3.00 single and $5.00 for double rooms. We regret that it will not be possible for us to assign suites requested. We are reserving with our compliments a room for the President, a room for the Secretary and a headquarters room for the convention committee. The room for the President is being reserved for Sunday, September 13th and we would appreciate knowing when the other two rooms are required. We have your request to reserve rooms for the delegation of six but you do not mention when they will arrive. Please let us know just as soon as you can when we may expect them. We understand that the American Federation of Government Employees will turn over the space assigned to them at the conclusion of their convention proper for your meetings. We have been in touch with the Norwood Hotel, 550 East Adams, which we understand is the best colored hotel in Detroit. Room rates start at $2.00 per day. Looking forward with pleasure to seeing you soon, I am Cordially at your service, [signed] John H. Stember, Director of Sales and Marketing”

Be careful of false promises....Organizing flyer for @afscme.bsky.social Local 2771, Brownsville, Texas, 1978.
From the AFSCME Organizing and Field Services Department records at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.
#trabajadores #trabajadoras #LaborUnions #LaborHistory
Single-page flyer resting on a folder with a tab labeled “Texas, 1978 Nov-Dec” At the top a Paul Revere-like figure on horseback appears to be shouting, labeled "La Vocina". The flyer reads, in part, “CUIDADO！！ CUIDADO！！ CUIDADO！！ CUIDADO！！ CUIDADO！！ CON PROMESAS FALSAS, ES FACIL PROMETER, PERO DIFICIL CUMPLIR!! RECIBIO SU CARTA DE AMOR DE LA ADMINISTRACION? CREE ESTO? De donde aqui nacio este grande amor para los Trabajadores, vaya. Se acuerdan el 5 de Julio de este año? Cuando el Gerente de la Ciudad Jim Baugh dijo que se les daria un 5% de aumento, ni mas, ni menos! Que paso? YA ESTA AQUI LA UNION, AHORA LOS TRABAJADORES TIENEN EL APOLLO DE AFSCME, LA UNION MAS GRANDE DEL AFL-CIO, CON MAS DE MILLON Y MEDIO DE MIEMBROS, ESO ES LO QUE PASO!” Followed by a longer paragraph of text. On the left, an illustration of a door with an illuminated lightbulb above it, labeled “AFSCME” “Brownsville Local 2771.” On the door are rectanlges with the text: “Justicia Economica” “Seguridad De Trabajo” “La Casa Del Trabajador” “Dignidad” and “Derechos.” Near the bottom center, an illustration of three dented trash cans labeled “Promesas” and “Administracion De Brownsville, Texas.” From the AFSCME Organizing and Field Services Department Records, Reuther Library, Wayne State University.
