.@AFSCME President Lee Saunders is right: everything costs more, and families are fed up with an economy that rewards billionaires and giant corporations over workers who create their profit. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field.

Regina Henderson isn’t just a cashier in dining services at Rutgers University. She’s a supportive co-worker and respectful team leader. She serves with care— the same care she’d want her own children to be treated with. That’s solidarity in action.

Elon Musk wouldn’t last a day as an EMT. We should fund public services, not tax breaks for villains like Musk.

Anti-union extremists would rather give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax breaks instead of funding public services. Meanwhile, Musk is on track to make $83 *billion* more than every child care worker in America, combined.
