Ricardo Levins Morales poster catalog, p674: "Our Labor Creates All Wealth" (2002)

The wealthy don’t just become that way overnight – they do so on the backs of our labor.

#UPS gains fuel fight for more #WorkerRights in future

“It’s good for our #union, the #LaborMovement, and all working people. It means that workers have higher expectations than ever in their lives, and aren’t willing to settle for less.” “We got as much as we could without going on #strike, but obviously, who knows what we could have gotten if we had gone on strike?”

When I drew this one, I tried to emulate what I think of as old-fashioned penmanship, and I really like how it came out

"The latest email [a return to office warning] from #Amazon reportedly angered some employees: 'Is this supposed to scare people?' one employee wrote on an internal chat shared with Insider.

#WorkersRights groups say pushing employees back to the office against their will stands only to strengthen the growing #LaborMovement in the tech space." #BigTech

"Biden will be out of power in a few years, but a #LaborMovement with 10 million new #union members would transform the entire American political landscape for decades to come."

-Hamilton Nolan

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/21/ameicans-union-demand-biden-endorsement

"#Unions do not have to endorse the #BidenAgenda. Unions can set the agenda. Now is not the time to settle. Now is the time to demand. The #LaborMarket is strong, the appetite for unions is high and the discontent with inequality is everywhere. This is a time to push the president, not bow and scrape and thank him for what he has done. Working people are begging to become a part of a strong #labormovement"

-Hamilton Nolan

"It is the job of the #LaborMovement’s institutions to turn that enthusiasm into the maximum possible gain. That’s where the malfunction is. We have an army ready to fight the #ClassWar led by generals who have been trained to assume that it is unwinnable."

"UPS was sending us to die for their profits without batting an eye. I also had family members that caught covid and passed away. In spring of 2021 suffering from burnout and depression I suffered from heat exhaustion that put me on disability for two months. That was my experience during the pandemic. One good thing to come out of it was our solidarity and new found militancy to fight the bosses after that incredibly abusive time period."

"Workers at three Peet’s Coffee locations in Berkeley and Oakland have started a union drive.

This is an #article I wrote up covering the #labor movement throughout the 20th Century. I look at some cases of #workers being harassed and even killed fighting for #workersrights.

One instance being as recent as 1979.
