Union members recognize the bosses’ divide & conquer strategy” on our ballots, write Mara Rafferty & Jarel Sanders, calling out millionaire-fueled fearmongering about trans youth used to divide & distract working families from the ultimate goal: cutting taxes on the rich.

From @WAAFLCIO President April Sims: A handful of wealthy donors hoping to cut their own taxes are pushing a false narrative about I-645 and our union pensions. Don’t fall for the spin.

Nearly 7k @SEIU925 members at UW rejected the university’s contract offer by more than 83% & are picketing today for a fair contract. “They need to give us something, anything, that shows us that they realize we are the ones who keep UW running,”-chapter Pres. Dale Siewert.

Y’all, this is the union difference. Young working-class men in unions are more likely to own a home, get married, and have kids. A union isn’t just about what happens at work. It’s about having the power to build the life you want. americanprogress.org/article…

How Unions Help Young Working-Class Men Buy Homes and Start Families

New CAP analysis of demographic data shows that union men under age 35 are more likely to get married, have kids, and own their own homes—especially young men without college degrees.

“Shit’s too expensive,” said @AFLCIO Pres. Liz Shuler in her State of the Unions address. New polling finds 94% of workers say costs are too high — and working people trust unions to fix our broken economy, not politicians.
