The rich and powerful on all sides of the aisle really do not care about our well-being. Organize with your coworkers and other working class citizens.
Why are we wasting vaccinations on Texas if Texas has decided to join the side of the virus?

If you're a restaurant worker in Texas, now, as always, would be a great time to join @DemSocialists and the Restaurant Organizing Project

We're watching @GovAbbott's announcement now from Montelongo's, a great local independent restaurant in Lubbock. Press, we're holding a virtual press conference to react at 2:30 pm. DM for invite.

It’s wild that people leave masks on their tables at restaurants. Today I had to pick up three masks at work because patrons left them behind. This only makes my job even more unsanitary and dangerous than it already is.

If unionizing wasn't effective they wouldn't try and stop it from happening so often!
Say it with us. Union busting is disgusting!

Yup
If you call anyone who works in fast food “just a burger flipper” or they just “pour coffee” you can’t use those services anymore sorry but it’s illegal for you to do it until you get a fucking grip

"Congress plans to fork over $120 billion to restaurant owners and just hope they save the industry" In case anyone was under the illusion our government was looking out for us restaurant laborers.

In case it wasn't abundantly clear: @GregAbbott_TX and @TXRestAssoc do not care about Texas Restaurant workers.

Astounded and disappointed by these Austin businesses so flagrantly prioritizing profits over the safety of their staff and guests. At least they put their names on it. @ElArroyo_ATX @vysteakhouse @SpeakEasyAustin

Beyond any of our socialist principles, subjecting your guests to a deadly respiratory virus completely flies in the face of the concept of hospitality. Completely shameful.

BREAKING: The journalists of the Austin American-Statesman are unionizing!  For 150 years, the Statesman and its community papers have kept Austin informed, and in order to continue our important work, we are forming the Austin NewsGuild. austinnewsguild.org/media/Bl…

Almost as if working in restaurants is dignified and meaningful work filled with laborers who are entitled to everything they create!
Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling

You absolutely, unequivocally love to see it
Solidarity with our brothers and sisters at Chipotle taking action for their health and lives. Pay them to stay home until the pandemic is over! Chipotle can certainly afford it...

Our fight doesn’t stop here. All power to service workers.
We are sad to announce we unfortunately did not win our union. Thank you to the workers who started the campaign and the ones who joined in to help. Our community of supporters. Those of you who have shared our posts, sent us a DM. We couldn’t have done this without all of you.
