Ohio HB 106: the Pay Stub Protection Act just passed the Senate and goes to the Governor's desk for signature! Ohio *was* one of only 7 states that don't offer this protection to workers.
Proud to have worked on this one with @PolicyMattersOH and @COWCenter. 💜💚💙

The popularity of the Teamsters and other labor unions is at a record high in modern U.S. history!
The Teamsters Union is turning this massive support into widespread organizing efforts and building worker power everywhere — gaining nearly 10,000 new members in the last two months alone. Teamsters have won monumental campaigns at key organizing targets like DHL’s global hub at CVG, went public with majorities of Amazon drivers at the company’s Skokie facility, and have won historic contracts benefitting and protecting tens of thousands of rank-and-file Teamsters at employers big and small.

SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN UNIONS
At the median, workers covered by a union make $3.74/hr (16%) more than workers not covered by a union. Based on full time work for a year of 2,080 hours, this union wage premium is worth about $7,780 per year.

To absolutely no one’s surprise… corporate price gouging is the biggest driver of inflation.
