Solidarity Alert! Support your brothers and sisters in #Striketober

Brothers and sisters, it’s time to rise up!

With thousands of workers on strike, October is now known as #STRIKETOBER.

CLICK HERE to see a map of all the strikes happening or authorized across the country. Support one near you!

Working people keep our country running through this pandemic. Many corporations are even making record profits!

But as union members negotiate new contracts, we’re being told we have to give things up.

We’re being told we have to accept lower wages, lose benefits and get fewer days off.

And working people are saying NO.

As AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said, “The strikes are sending a signal, no doubt about it, that employers ignore workers at their peril. I think this wave of strikes is actually going to inspire more workers to stand up and speak [out].”

So across the country, across industries…we’re speaking out and saying that we’re ready to go on strike to get the fair treatment we deserve.

So if you support working people, find a strike near you.

 

In Unity,
