When you see negative news coverage of the writers/actors strike, remember this: The major news networks are owned by the companies they're striking against.

The tired corporate, right-wing tropes about the labor movement being dinosaurs get almost no traction anymore. If you're wondering why, just watch this. Or spend a few minutes talking to literally just about anyone under 25 about unions

Here’s the right headline: Corporations cause damage to small businesses by not properly compensating and protecting their actors and writers.

Organizing under the watch of Andrew Carnegie. This is the future of unionizing. The Scoopers continue to prepare for upcoming bargaining meetings, ethically served ice cream tastes better 🍦

Meet childhood hero of mine @BillNye. Why he's striking: Nowadays people talk about the gig economy. If you're a guild writer or a screen actor, you're a gig worker your whole career. This is about fairness. These are regular people that work for a living... 1/2 🧵

Kids chanting “Strike” from the school bus as they pass Fox Studios in LA today #ActorsStrike #WritersStrike

Philadelphia Starbucks baristas stood up to management over wage-theft happening at their store for months. With a union, workers weren’t afraid to stand up for themselves & their co-workers.

NYC's educators have been working for 262 days without a contract. We've shown up to fight all along. But our fight still isn't over — not until we get a fair contract. #UFTFairContractNow ✊

Joy is resistance. 🖤

.@AFTunion Thank you Representative Mr. Frost for speaking the truth today about really caring for our kids.

We had a great day with @AFT2121 at the capital today, advocating for the needs of all San Francisco's students and schools. Our CA legislators have real solutions on the table. We are expecting results for the education that our students deserve! #YesOnAB938 #AB938

GOP strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the rich & corporations, claiming they'll pay for themselves 2) Explode the deficit 3) Use the debt & deficit as an excuse to demand cuts to programs that millions rely on 4) Repeat They're trying to get away with it again. We can't let them.

I just took action with @AFLCIO: Welcome the WNBPA to the AFL-CIO. Take action here: act.aflcio.org/forms/b27b6d51…

They are completely incomprehensible.. they spit out a number and they do nothing to help inform practice which is what teacher evaluation should be about
