Saw someone comment that the #US has a #teacher #shortage. There's no teacher shortage, there's a #pay and #workingconditions shortage. Fix that and America will be crawling with teachers.

"Last year, the Republican-led Ohio Legislature passed a law all but eliminating August elections, citing high costs and low turnout. In the spring, Ohio Republicans created and scheduled an Aug. 8 referendum on raising the threshold for voter-approved constitutional amendments to 60 percent, from the simple majority in place since Ohio first allowed citizen-led referendums 111 years ago.

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-o&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion

Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.

Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.

One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”

50 million people worldwide in modern slavery
“Modern slavery is the antithesis of sustainable development. Yet, in 2022, it continues to underpin our global #economy. It is a man-made problem, connected to both historical slavery and persisting structural #inequality. In a time of #CompoundingCrises, genuine political will is the key to ending these #humanrights abuses.”

My mail carrier in Portland, Oregon says working conditions aren't much better here. As I customer, I've noticed that its common for my mail to show up late in the evening because there aren't enough workers to keep up with the mail volume.

Today in Labor History February 3, 1910: Mary Harris "Mother" Jones addressed Milwaukee brewery workers during a two-month stint working alongside women bottle-washers while on leave from the United Mine Workers:

"Condemned to slave daily in the wash-room in wet shoes and wet clothes, surrounded with foul-mouthed, brutal foremen . . . the poor girls work in the vile smell of sour beer, lifting cases of empty and full bottles weighing from 100 to 150 pounds, in their wet shoes and rags, for they cannot buy clothes on the pittance doled out to them. . . . Rheumatism is one of the chronic ailments and is closely followed by consumption . . . An illustration of what these girls must submit to, one about to become a mother told me with tears in her eyes that every other day a depraved specimen of mankind took delight in measuring her girth & passing comments."
