Tax cuts for billionaires and corporate CEOs don’t help working people and they never will. It’s about time the wealthy and powerful paid their fair share.

How workers die. Forklift incidents, falls, drowning, train derailment, shooting, firefighting, vehicle incidents. On average, over 100 workers are killed every week in the US due to traumatic injuries suffered at work. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac… via @jbarab

Today is #EqualPayDay — the day women finally make the same amount of money that white, non-Hispanic men made working in 2023. The solution to closing the wage gap runs right through the labor movement. Women in unions earn 22% more in wages than nonunion women.

Norfolk Southern and Class 1 railroads were named to our "Dirty Dozen" unsafe employers in 2023 -- and sounds like they've still got work to do. Tell us who's dirty this year tinyurl.com/DirtyDozen24
Since the East Palestine disaster a year ago, accidents at the big 5 railroads have gone up, not down. Derailments by the biggest U.S. railroads increased 13% in the first 10 months of 2023. And Congress still hasn't passed new safety legislation.

#BREAKING NJ Federal Judge rejects @NJSAJOBS @NJBIA attempt to halt the Temp Workers’ Bill of Rights. The law provides 100s of thousands of essential temp workers w/ basic rights, brings standards to a lawless industry & holds employers accountable. When we fight, we win!
