“They are out there for the right reasons… they are out there not because they are ‘pro-Hamas.' They are out there because they are outraged by what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza.” @SenSanders discusses the student anti-war protests sweeping colleges in America.…
Trump on overturning Roe: People are absolutely thrilled
Sen. Sanders: "I suggest to CNN and maybe some of my colleagues here, maybe take your cameras, just for a moment, off of Columbia and UCLA . Maybe go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."
THREAD: Billionaires have been telling universities to send police after students for days. And the universities are listening. The brutal crackdown at Columbia is just one example. Colleges are repressing their own students at the behest of billionaire donors.
Power concedes nothing without a demand
BREAKING: Mercedes-Benz has abruptly replaced its U.S. CEO in an effort to undercut the union drive at Mercedes's plant in Alabama. In a video shown to workers today, new CEO Federico Kochlowski admits that "many of you" want change and promises improvements.
NEW: Blue Bottle workers told us they make $3,500 worth of lattes in a day, but take home just $144. They can barely afford to make ends meet while Nestle—Blue Bottle’s owner—rakes in hundreds of billions a year. Baristas across Boston are unionizing to demand their fair share.
An Alabama Mercedes worker at top rate would have to work 2 years to make what a Mercedes executive makes in just a week. It's time to Stand Up to corporate greed. It's time to Stand Up for ourselves and our communities. It's time to VOTE YES at Mercedes in Vance, Alabama!

Waffle House employees in Georgia walked out last week to demand better wages and conditions. Servers make under $3 an hour and up to $5 for a meal is deducted from their paychecks, whether the worker eats the meal or not. Exploitation is part of the company's business model.
It shouldn’t be lost on anyone that the Biden administration’s biggest successes have been in areas where they’ve been most welcoming of progressive ideas, their biggest failures where they’ve been the least.
The skies around Birmingham will have a pro-union message this weekend al.com/news/2024/04/t…
A new program championed by Bernie Sanders, Solar For All, will inject $7 billion into solar power for 900,000 working class homes. Hundreds of thousands of people will save $400 a year, America will get more clean energy, and this country's power grid will get a needed update.
NEW: Thousands of workers are still out of work weeks after the Baltimore bridge collapsed. Mainstream news is focusing on how the tragedy will affect the supply chain and the stock market. We went to Baltimore to see how it’s affecting port workers and their families.

seems pretty basic to me to be pro-speech, pro-freedom, pro-democracy. those values are at the core of what's going on

Rep. Summer Lee in her primary victory speech: "There were a lot of people who were convinced we couldn't be pro-peace and win in this district."
good win
NEW: Jeff Yass is a mega-billionaire who does not believe in income inequality. He thinks he shouldn't have to pay taxes because “everybody [in America] has all the stuff they need... No one’s hungry, no one’s cold." He's the largest election donor in 2024.

I proposed my Choices for Stranded Airline Passengers Act last year to guarantee travelers a prompt refund when flights are delayed or canceled. I'm thrilled @USDOT is making this happen!
BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up. The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags. It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.

BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold. The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half. That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568. substack.perfectunion.us/p/the-departme…
You are never going to be ready. The conditions are never going to be perfect. The math might not be there. Do it anyway. Have faith in workers. Trust workers to lead. Give workers the tools they need and get out of the way. @UAW
Shawn Fain, president of the @UAW, just spoke to the victorious Tennessee VW workers: "The talking heads and the pundits said to me repeatedly before we announced this campaign, you can't win in the South, and Southern workers aren't ready for it." Next up, Mercedes in Alabama.
The workers did it ❤️❤️❤️
on the night of this historic victory for labor, let’s also celebrate the great work of the good people at @MorePerfectUS. it turns out there is a huge audience starving for stories of the working class fighting back, and mpu is telling those stories with care and rage.
This ad is brutal but very unsurprising that Trone would yell at worker. Glad the Total Wine FTC case is being highlighted. It’s make no sense that he still owns this company while in congress. If he wins, Hogan will have plenty of Oppo to use against him.
Unions have helped build our commonwealth and country, while raising the standard of living and quality of life for our workers. I'm always proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my friends at @UAW.
first piece for mpu 🩵
NEW: Some of the wealthiest people in America have spent millions of dollars to get RFK Jr. on the ballot. But they don’t want him to be president. They have another goal — elect Trump.
President Joe Biden has now brought antitrust cases against Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple, four of the biggest companies in the world. This is governing like a populist.
@fshakir Thank you for your service @RonaldKlain

This is big news—but it didn't just happen by chance. Democrats in Congress pressed Big Pharma to lower costs. @POTUS Biden capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors with diabetes. Now inhaler costs are coming down. @GSK, @AstraZeneca, & @TevaUSA need to step up!
BREAKING: Pharma giant Boehringer Ingelheim will bring down the cost of inhalers from $525 to $35 a month for most patients. They're one of the four major inhaler makers. This move, which could help millions, comes after massive public pressure and a federal lawsuit.
Great video on private equity giant Roark Capital and its history of labor issues. In our 2023 PE Labor Scorecard, Roark got a failing grade for its large amount of wage and hour violations compared to its peer firms.
NEW: One private equity firm owns more chains than you can count: Subway, Dunkin’, Sonic, The Cheesecake Factory, Wingstop, Arby's, and more — Roark Capital. They’re notorious wage thieves. They've made billions exploiting 1.4 million workers and killing the $15 minimum wage.

Albuquerque is now the biggest city in the country to make public transit free, permanently. Turns out it doesn’t just save people money, it saves the city money. We talked to residents, and they love it. Some save on gas, some don’t have to walk to work, and everybody wins.
BREAKING: A judge has struck down Elon Musk’s $55 billion pay package at Tesla after a shareholder challenged the outrageous amount as excessive. This ruling would massively reduce Musk’s wealth.
