Every candidate endorsed by UE150 won their election. Working-class voters showed up to elect champions who answer directly to public service workers rather than corporate interests.

Now it is time to enact a working people's agenda!

We mourn the passing of Dolores Huerta, a union leader, feminist, survivor, & civil rights activist who shaped the course of labor history. She co-founded the United Farm Workers Association (UFW) & fought back against discrimination and the blatant mistreatment of farm workers.

Here in Granville County our members are working the polls. We asked the Republican Precinct Chair Bob Rogers if he could name 1 Democrat that had ever been convicted of voter fraud & he just yelled & called me a “God damn pansy” then later an “Idiot “. I simply asked a question

The Republican-controlled board of elections shut down the 1 early voting site at North Carolina A&T University—a historically Black college—so students marched an hour to vote.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE STUDENTS FOR FIGHTING BACK. WE MUST ALL DO THE SAME.

Next month, workers will go to the polls to vote on 3 amendments to the state constitution. If passed, they would drain $17 billion per year from public services and jobs. VOTE NO!

Legislative leaders decided to make NC counties foot the bill for new #SNAP food assistance costs, all while pushing constitutional amendments that will limit two key sources of state and local revenue. #SaveSNAP ncbudget.org/state-leaders-…

Do we need a company that targets, tracks, & surveils our patients inside our hospitals? NO❗

On Wednesday 9/30 in SF, more than a thousand RNs will mobilize against the notorious A.I. giant Palantir. Out of our hospitals. Out of our communities.

Earlier this week, a worker at the Charlotte airport died from excessive heat. Last year a city water worker in Greensboro, two farm workers, two construction workers & a postal worker all died from excessive heat in our state. Enough is enough. We need @NCDOL to establish a law!
No more silence, no more excuses. No more prioritizing profits over human life.

“(State lawmakers) are the ones that still have the minimum wage at $7.25. They are the ones that are very pro-business to the point where corporations can go to them directly and create language that limits us on what we can demand for any of our vendors that are working within the airport,” at-large Councilwoman LaWana Mayfield said. “It’s a challenge.”
