There really aren’t any words anymore. We’re not okay. This is all too much. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

For those keeping track at home, John Deere has now: - Refused to settle a fair contract - Announced they're cutting healthcare for 10,000 strikers and families - Withheld untold $$$ of back wages for strikers - Gotten a bogus injunction against workers' right to picket

Well we’re in a global deadly pandemic and everyone knows there’s a mental health crisis…but we only have one more counselor to add to the poster. It’s past time for more full time certificated counselors.
