• As a woman of color who some have called the best labor secretary since Frances Perkins, .@ActSecJulieSu should be confirmed right now. It's up to Leader @SenSchumer to do the right thing and schedule a vote right now before Congress adjourns for the holidays.  #YesJulieSu

On Friday, First Avenue Productions agreed to voluntarily recognize the union! This was just a day after an overwhelming majority of its workers went public with a unionizing effort with @UNITEHERE17! #FirstAveUnion #Solidarity #WorkerPower #RWBOR

Pauli DeMaris, bartender and event staff at @FirstAvenue for the past 18 years, speaking on why the workers are unionizing with @UNITEHERE17 and support from @rocminnesota

First Avenue has agreed to voluntarily recognize our Union! This is a testament to the love we have for each other. There’s much more work to do, but our unity will help us make our workplaces better for years to come. We look forward to beginning discussions with First Avenue.

About 200 First Avenue workers are attempting to unionize across the company's family of acclaimed Twin Cities music venues. Employees at the seven sites cited low pay, inconsistent training and short-notice scheduling as top concerns. startribune.com/first-avenue-2…

Members from CTUL, @rocminnesota, and @NewJusticeMN spoke at MPLS budget hearings, urging Council to invest in MPLS workers by investing in co-enforcement, a vital program that ensures workers know their rights and how to enforce them

No matter where you work, you have the right to speak about working conditions. Wages, scheduling, health & safety are too important to not talk about. #KnowOurRights #FOH #BOH #Restaurants

Got a boss telling you not to talk about your wages? That is against federal labor law. You have the right to talk about wages and you should talk about your wages. #FOH #BOH #WorkerPower #Restaurants

The University of Minnesota, in partnership with us and the Minneapolis Health Department, is conducting a study to understand how work environments and conditions impact restaurant workers’ health and well-being. (1/2)

This is insane and wrong. Which restaurant does your brother-in-law work at?

Workers across industries demanded that @CityMinneapolis fund worker protections, enforce wage theft laws, and protect workers who carried us through the pandemic. Thank you to Minneapolis City Council for the unanimous vote in favor of workers. #FundMPLSWorkers

BREAKING: Amazon facilities in Minnesota have high rate of injuries, pay inequities "The first thing that we realized when we started looking into this is just how off the charts the injuries are."- NELP's Irene Tung startribune.com/report-amazon-…… via @StarTribune's @nicolenorfleet

Paid leave allows workers to heal, recover, and be there for their family, whether a new baby who has just smiled for the first time or a parent taking their last breath. It’s how we take care of each other, and ourselves.
