Dealers won their union over a year ago at @MGMSpringfield. Now they’re taking their message to the street: stop breaking the law, negotiate a fair contract now!

@dieworkwear Also the best way to ensure an ethically made in the USA product is to look for the union label, just sayin!

@dieworkwear These are obviously very different, more complex systems than the “$0.03 every time you sew on a zipper” but I think legislation could take inspiration from some of the ways unions have made piece work sustainable for workers.

@universalhub They’ve got a lot time to come up with banner slogans on their commute in from Stoneham

BREAKING: UAW president Shawn Fain announces that GM has agreed in writing to bring its electric battery plants under the national master labor contract after @UAW made clear it was planning to expand its strike to GM's most profitable factories.

Funny. Every time Elon Musk pretends to be a self-made billionaire remember: He'd be worth ZERO without $4.9 billion in corporate welfare, SpaceX would be broke without $1.5 billion from the feds, Starlink wouldn't exist without NASA & Tesla received $950 million from New York.

Our hometowns are under attack. #StandUpUAW
