🧵The UAW isn’t a pro-worker HR department. It’s a movement. We don’t just win back our wages and benefits. We win back our power. We win back our organization. We win back our solidarity.
As part of our historic contract settlement, @UMichPrezOno agreed to publicly support the creation of “an unarmed, non-police emergency response program” on campus. 🧵(1/4)
California could become the first state in the country to legalize public employees' engagement in solidarity or "sympathy" strikes.
Under the proposal, public workers would be protected from discipline for refusing to cross a picket line or cover for striking coworkers.
