Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for simply doing her job sets a dangerous precedent for our nation. Data are facts, whether they serve one's political aspirations or not. Our full statement: bit.ly/3HgXZ18

Many people ask, “Can Trump legally do that?” A better, more urgent response is: “Will we let Trump do that?” says @nwertsch of @Demos_Org. commondreams.org/opinion/federa…

Pay equity isn’t the only thing on the dais today @CouncilofDC. Insufficient language access is too. Roughly half of today's hearing attendees are Spanish-speaking and language accommodations are nonexistent. Language access in #childcare is critical for racial justice. #Under3DC

miamiherald.com/news/local/env… "Under the @FairFoodProgram, the code of conduct that farms have to follow is extensive, covering sexual misconduct and wage theft and other common labor issues. In 2021, the code of conduct was revised to include protections from the rising temperatures,"

wlrn.org/health/2023-09… “Unfortunately because of climate change, we don’t see these heat waves lessening.... There’s a solution - the @FairFoodProgram, so that workers don’t put their lives in danger.” - Lupe Gonzalo, CIW staff told @WLRN

Record-breaking temperatures will only get worse. Workers are dying as a result. But there is a solution. Please take a moment to read.

theinvadingsea.com/2023/08/28/far… "A solution is hiding in plain sight on farms in the supply chains of major corporations participating in the @FairFoodProgram" -- @susanlmarquis

Workers are dying in extreme heat and it will only get worse. But we have a solution that’s already proven to work. @ciw ⁦@WSRNetwork⁩ miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/…

SHUT IT DOWN! Unionized staff at @SEIU are sticking together in the fight for wages that keep up with the cost of living. It’s high time companies live their values but @MaryKayHenry’s management chose to lock their doors.

On #LastWeekTonight, @iamjohnoliver was impressed with @FairFoodProgram buyers and growers operating on the cutting edge of human rights... “which is more than I can say for @Wendys @Kroger and @Publix who AMAZINGLY have yet to sign on."

Here's our piece from last night about farmworkers...youtube.com/watch?v=41vETg…

.@iamjohnoliver has some *very choice words* for @Wendys @Kroger and @Publix, which “amazingly have yet to sign on” to the @FairFoodProgram

Here’s last night’s story about working conditions on farms. And, just for the record, John Oliver and Jamie Oliver are two different people. We’re talking about food this week, so just wanted to make it clear. youtu.be/41vETgarh_8

This morning I joined the @ciw and allies to deliver Resolution 131 to Trian Partners, the largest shareholder of Wendy’s. Yesterday the @nyccouncil took steps in the fight for workers rights and now it’s time for corporations like Wendy’s to do the same.

🚨 New @TheRealNews 🚨 Farmworkers in Florida today began a 5-day march against slave conditions & to compel companies like @Wendys/@kroger to stop sourcing produce from abusive growers. I spoke w/ Lupe Gonzalo, a longtime farmworker & organizer for @ciw therealnews.com/farmworkers-in…

Hey Nelson Peltz, why are you allowing the possibility of modern day slavery in the @Wendys supply chain when you could easily join the @fairfoodprogram, and treat farmworkers with dignity and respect? @CIW #PalmBeach
