If enough of us #organize we can build a fighting union movement that can push back against bad laws, mean legislation and those that want to keep us quiet, compliant and unorganised.
#RAFFWU has demonstrated that retail and #fastfoodworkers are not unorganisable. Workers in these industries are more than ready to put up the fight against some of the biggest companies in the country.

#Crockett10 face charges for supporting the #ILWU Local 6 C&H strike in #Crockett, California.

“Getting members to go through the hoops of fire that it takes to #organize, it’s a big ask; it is always amazing to me that workers do organize rather than that they don’t, because it is hard to organize, particularly in this very divisive society, coming together and building #solidarity.” - Kate Bronfenbrenner
