Because state workers face chronic underpay, policymaking is often left to special interest groups. Raising the wage for state workers will help restore democracy, and ensure that legislation is written by and for Texans. #txlege #ourcommongood

📢Texas state employees!👋You now have up to 8 weeks of paid parental leave at the birth or adoption of a child. #txlege
@CWA6186 and @EveryTxn surveyed state employees and received over 6K responses. Most state employees weren't aware of the new #paidparental benefit. 👇

Gov. Abbott intentionally understaffs the state gov't in order to make his case that gov't can't do hard things- not true. TX state agency headcount is WAY behind population growth. There's simply not enough workers to provide the services we all need. https://t.co/7gQCeMLRn6

The state workforce is systemically understaffed and underpaid. Technology updates are necessary. So is paying our workforce for their worth. #txlege.
The state's clunky, outdated Medicaid enrollment system still relies on staff manually processing paperwork — creating big delays for families. The Legislature should invest in technology and data-driven approaches to create a more efficient enrollment system. #TXlege

High turnover in state departments hurts all Texans — especially the most vulnerable among us. Higher pay and better working condition for state workers will raise the bar for every Texan. #txlege #ourcommongood #unionstrong #union #stateworkers

Texans deserve high-quality services from our state government. The only way we can accomplish that is by appropriately staffing up our state workforce to accommodate for population growth đź’Ş #txlege #ourcommongood #unionstrong #union #stateworkers

In the United States, women are still paid 78 cents for every dollar paid to men. Unions like ours empower women, earning nearly 21% more in wages than their nonunion counterparts. When more women have access to a union, we can close the wage gap and build working class power.

In 2023 state employees report better pay and benefits as the number 1 reason for leaving their job just like they did in 2022. #txlege 👇 https://t.co/RUckLqInk3

This Valentine’s Day, let’s take a second to thank the workers who keep our state running! Together, we must demand that their wages and benefits reflect the critical work they do for all of us. #WorkerWednesday #txlege #ourcommongood

Low pay for our state workers reduces the efficiency of state agencies, and Texas taxpayers are left to foot the bill. Raising the wage for state workers would help everybody. #ourcommongood #txlege

Our fight for a fair future starts with our state workforce. Without strong, competitive wages for our state workers, it is impossible for Texans to receive the high-quality services they deserve #ourcommongood #txlege
