  2. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    We wouldn't have the weekend, the 8 hour work day, the 40 hour work week, paid family/medical leave, or today off if labor unions hadn't fought for those rights and won. Celebrate the work unions do by joining one, volunteering at a labor event today, or taking a solidarity school training!

  3. ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Wes Moore announced today that employer registration for Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) in Maryland is now live—a critical step forward in implementing this new program.

    Dear Senator/Representative -

    I want you to support changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act to make sure that every American has the same ability that Rep. Tom Kean Jr had -- the ability to deal with an unexpected illness or emergency without going broke.

    As written, the FMLA provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a medical emergency, but how is the family to survive when the sick person is responsible for supporting the family? The FMLA also does not provide any support to those who are self-employed or work for small companies.

    The bipartisan bill introduced in June that would give 12 weeks of paid medical leave to all federal employees is a good start, and while I want you to support this, I also want you to work to expand paid long-term medical leave to everyone.

    The Congressional staffers working in Rep Kean's office would not get four months of paid leave. And what about the new accountant starting her own firm with only two employees? What federal assistance helps to support this job creator and her employees if an emergency surfaces?

    I want you to work tirelessly for a stronger healthcare safety net for all Americans. We all work hard, and we all deserve the same benefits in a time of crisis.

  5. New baby? Parent dying? Need to care for your family?

    Republicans call themselves the party of family values. Yet zero Republican-led states guarantee paid family leave. All 14 states and DC that do are Democratic led. Values are what you fund, not what you say. #PaidLeave #VoteBlue

  21. If America stopped redistributing the working and middle class’s money to the rich, we’d be OK.

    America currently supports socialism for the wealthy as it distributes money from the working and middle class to the rich, unlike happy countries like Denmark and the Netherlands.

  22. I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you - to find that Red State tax revenues & GDP have fallen by billions due to their anti-abortion laws & child-unfriendly labor policies, as well as young women leaving the states.

    Going to love watching them all end up downgraded, defaulting on bonds, and even going bankrupt.

    Christo-fascism kills economies.

  27. Access to paid sick leave is 10 percentage points lower among full-time workers in U.S. rural vs. urban areas (68% v. 77%) -- increasing the likelihood people will work contagious or forgo health care. These inequities will likely persist if change if left to individual employers or localities. #RuralAmerica #PaidSickLeave #PaidLeave #NICHDImpact

  28. A recent study by #Oxfam America highlights how #US workers are disadvantaged by policies compared to other industrialised countries. The US lags in areas like #MinimumWage, #healthcare, #PaidLeave, and #union support.

    The strikes, such as those by hotel workers and actors, exemplify the need for policy change and strong worker-led actions, though challenges in organising unions and negotiating fair contracts persist.

  29. With a governing trifecta and budget surplus in #Minnesota, #Democrats and Gov. Walz have passed a laundry list of priorities mirroring similar efforts by #Biden and Dems on a national level.

    They’ve codified #abortion rights, legalized #marijuana, passed stricter #gunlaws, enacted statewide #paidleave, boosted funding for #schools, human services, the environment & housing, allocated billions for #infrastructure projects… and initiated rebates for low-income taxpayers.

  30. The #IWF, a #Koch Brothers-linked #Astroturf organization, was established in 1992 from #WomenforJudgeThomas, also likely a Koch-linked Astroturf group that backed Judge #ClarenceThomas' #SupremeCourt nomination despite #AnitaHill's #sexualharassment allegations.

    Since its founding, the group has consistently opposed measures that advance and safeguard women's rights, such as the #EqualRightsAmendment, #EqualPay, #TitleIX, #childcare, #paidleave, and other progressive policies.
