@7islucky.bsky.socialwe had to learn about the true history of the #Migrant #Workers who can’t even take the #SocialSecurity money they pay into with them. I just happened to grow up in a #Factory town where a percentage of those migrant workers were able, with #Unions get jobs. I was used to my neighbors speaking in
@aluse32.bsky.social🤔 Seems to me that since workers can no longer depend on government to protect them, and employers are only interested in maximizing profit at the expense of those workers, #UNIONS are even more important. I support #Unions. #WorkersUnited #LaborDay Workers have power & should use it! #GeneralStrike
@7islucky.bsky.socialThe #RichAndBloated sure did #Kill #Unions
@janienesbittjones.bsky.socialThe Southern Tenant Farmers Museum in Tyronza, AR preserves the story of a 1934 interracial farm union that fought for tenant farmers & sharecroppers. Exhibits include recordings, such as John L. Handcox who wrote anthems for the union. #unions #history #farmers

@bigender-tomboy.bsky.socialThis is one of the infinite number of reasons that we need #unions. Join the #IndustrialWorkersOfTheWorld #IWW & #DemocraticSocialiatsOfAmerica #DSA today to fight the good fight.

@michellelabelle.bsky.socialMy late husband was a fierce Irish Democrat shop steward in the copper mines of AZ. they went on strike in 1983 against those assholes at Phelphs Dodge.
Strike lasted for 3 years and busted the union, he lost his job, but never his passion.
