What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

As you get ready for Labor Day weekend, remember to thank a union.

Funny how that works, huh?
What if the key to beating Chinese Communism wasn't warships and bombers and nukes, but instead making your products in America and paying Americans a living wage?

How much do you hate communism really? Enough to make a little less profit?
What?
Yeah. I thought not.
Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create.

It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.

Workers nationwide aren’t striking for fun. They’re not striking to be unreasonable or unrealistic. They’re not striking because they’re greedy or lazy.
— Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@QasimRashid) July 14, 2023
They’re striking because they played by the rules and still got robbed—and enough is enough.

The people’s minimum wage:
2011: $7.25
2012: $7.25
2013: $7.25
2014: $7.25
2015: $7.25
2016: $7.25
2017: $7.25
2018: $7.25
2019: $7.25
2020: $7.25
2021: $7.25
2022: $7.25
2023: $7.25
It’s not a labor shortage. It’s a living wage shortage.
The minimum wage should be a living wage.

One job should be enough for ALL workers to:
- buy groceries
- afford healthcare
- pay for housing
- save for the future
The United States of America, where instead of healthcare, we have guns. Instead of education, we have guns. Instead of a living wage, we have guns. Instead of a functioning social safety net..
— scha·den·freu·de (@BlisterPearl) May 31, 2023
..guns.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun control, universal child care, and a living wage.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) April 5, 2023
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
