According to a report by Progress Michigan, The Mackinac Center for Public Policy was behind a $10 million, national campaign to keep workers from organizing. Don’t let them stand in the way again. Say no to union busting. #SayYestoHomeCare adobe.ly/48SAseN

YUM Brands (Pizza Hut operators) made $1.3B in profit in 2022. The idea that wage increases MUST be passed on, or result in layoffs is nonsense. Paying workers more is not the issue. It is corporate greed. #RaiseTheWage

The real crime wave gripping our nation is wage theft. In California workers have legally required breaks. At this KFC they’ve failed to provide them. So we’re failing to show up to serve chicken. We're on strike at locations across the region.

SECOND STRIKE LINE FOR THE DAY: Our co-worker Bertha asked to go home when she was sick but McD’s refused to let her. Bertha later passed away. In response we organized an 8 day strike at this location in June, instead of firing the abusive management, the company retaliated.
