Disneyland workers are exposing the reality of their jobs. “The magic starts to fade away and you’re just left with not being able to pay rent, permanent injuries, and management who doesn’t value or respect you.” Today they start voting on a union to bring the magic back. #labormovement #labor #workersrights #union #disneyland #disney
Over 3,000 dancers, acrobats and actors contributing to the Opening Ceremony say they are working for extremely low wages or even for free. If they strike, joining workers at Paris airports, the Opening Ceremonies will be massively disrupted. #labormovement #corporategreed #labor #workersrights #olympics
Rents in the city have increased by 70% over the past decade, and the cost of buying a house has gone up by nearly 40%. #labormovement #labor #corporategreed #workersrights #housing
We’re witnessing a generational shift in U.S. economic policy. The era of neoliberalism is coming to an end. In its place, the Biden administration has a surprisingly radical vision to bring back American manufacturing—and put the middle class above wealthy investors. And it’s working. #labormovement #labor #workersrights #manufacturing #biden
We're McFreakin' losing it. Fast food prices have increased between 39% and 100% in the past decade. And while fast food chains try to blame the price hike on inflation or wages, the statistics point to only one answer: corporate greed. #labormovement #labor #union #workersrights #fastfood
With three teens’ shifts starting at 11 pm—and a fourth starting at 8:30pm—they were each tasked with 'hanging live chickens on hooks for slaughter and cutting meat from the carcasses,' according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court. #labormovement #labor #workersrights #childlabor

Alamo Drafthouse workers keep winning unions. When private equity giant Altamont Capital bought out the beloved theater chain they slashed costs — and quality. Now workers are fighting back - and they just won their second Denver union in one week. Workers at the Sloan's Lake location won a union 33-23. #labormovement #labor #workersrights #corporategreed #alamodrafthouse

Just 4 companies control almost all the fertilizer in America. Prices have tripled since 1980, farmers are struggling, and it could get even worse. Now the Kochs are planning a billion-dollar merger to drive up prices for farmers—and suffocate rural America—even more. #labormovement #labor #corporategreed #workersrights
Mercedes workers told us what it’s like to build luxury cars—costing as much as a quarter of a million dollars—while struggling to pay their bills. They’re voting this week on whether to unionize with @UAW International Union and get their fair share of Mercedes’ exorbitant profits. #mercedes #union #mercedesbenz #workersrights #labormovement #maybach #unionizeyourworkplace
Fast fashion isn't just making all our clothes worse. It's making a few brands, and their shareholders, extremely rich. The founder of Shein is now worth $21.5 billion. Meanwhile we're stuck with shitty clothes with no pockets and textile landfills you can see from space. #labormovement #corporategreed #labor #fastfashion #fashion
The FTC uncovered a series of texts between big oil CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices. They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices. That’s about $3000 per family. #labormovement #labor #workersrights #gasprices #oil
