They’re making the USS Lincoln do war games with Australia before heading back. This is ridiculous. Bring them home!

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

So-called right-to-work (RTW) laws undermine workers’ ability to form unions. Unionization rates are clearly lower in RTW states—and since unions raise wages, that suppression lowers pay. The latest from @elisegould.bsky.social and Emma Cohn examines the economic impact of RTW 👇 1/7 #econsky

MOHAI workers announced the formation of a union today, with more than 70% of eligible rank-and-file workers signing cards with CWA Local 7800. They are asking for voluntary recognition from the Seattle museum. Some of their core demands include pay equity, transparency and benefits for part-timers.

What we really need to do, what we really should work on as a movement, is reeducating about the importance of unions, organizing unions across professions. People keep yelling about a national strike but there's literally no structure in place to make that a reality right now.
