Unions work. If they didn’t, the bosses wouldn’t spend so much trying to stop workers from unionizing.

UAW workers at Volkswagen's only US assembly plant are holding a strike authorization vote this week. After more than 13 months of negotiations and unfair labor practices, Volkswagen still won't agree to a decent contract. Volkswagen made $20.6 billion in profits last year.

ICE will arrest anyone—even a 16-year-old who just wants to get back to class. Joel Camas may be the first unaccompanied minor detained by Trump this term.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

After a decade of relentless organizing, gig drivers in CA just made history. With #AB1340 signed into law, drivers now have the RIGHT to form a union, bargain with Uber & Lyft, and win real power on the job. This is what worker-led change looks like. #Unions4All #CAgigunion
