❓Did you know❓Support for labor unions is at the highest point since 1965!

Companies are making record profits, states are receiving record budget surpluses, yet many workers feel powerless in the face of immense economic pressures. It’s no wonder that working people are uniting to take back what is rightfully ours!

✊ Are you ready to stand with your coworkers to win power and real change?

When we fight together - we win together. With collective action and organization, there is no limit to what workers can accomplish.

Bill Frye, a student at USC and union supporter, shared his view and put it this way: “No matter your political orientation, workers should fight for what they deserve.” We agree!

✊ We honor MLK every day by building the labor movement and fighting for economic and racial justice in our workplace!

🗣️ “In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone… Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped.” —Martin Luther King, speaking about ‘right-to-work’ laws in 1961
