Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with #health #insurance through #work
The expiration planned by Congress next month for the “tax credits” (aka subsidies) that allow states to provide the public's access to the healthcare marketplace will create a sudden shock of hundreds of thousands - more likely in the millions - of Americans no longer able to get sickness, disease, and injuries treated; will begin a new period of #medical, #economic and #social collapse. This is combined with massive increases to private insurance including employer-provided plans & programs, and the effective end to all #Medicaid-associated programs nationwide next fall. An avoidable human #catastrophe from #MAGA, which the majority of the US public is only beginning to notice.

A recent X post claimed the U.S. Department of Labor’s images promote a nostalgic, all-white America—featuring a lone white man and a stereotypical white family—ignoring the nation’s diversity. This raises serious questions about representation and bias, especially when minorities make up nearly 40% of the workforce. The images reflect a nostalgic fantasy that doesn’t match reality and underscore how misinformation can distort perceptions. As social media floods us with untruths, it’s vital to verify what’s real—so don’t take everything at face value. Curious about what the Department of Labor’s feed really shows?

"At Mercedes, rank-and-file workers, not UAW officials, have taken the lead in organizing the plant. 'Workers at #Mercedes have literally run this campaign with very little help from us,' Fain said. 'They wanted it that way. It’s great to see those workers feeling their power and being able to exercise their power.'"

CW: question about unions (US-specific)
I’m seeing union press releases touting tentative agreements — i.e., agreements that haven’t yet been ratified.
Two examples:
https://cwa-union.org/news/cwa-passenger-service-agents-reach-tentative-agreement-american-airlines
https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/zenimax-workers-united-cwa-collective-bargaining-yields-first-its-kind-tentativeThat feels new to me; does anyone know the benefit to talking up a TA, rather than waiting for the contract to be ratified?
[Editing to add: Asked and answered! Thanks *very* much to those who weighed in 💖]
