Up to 20% of employers misclassify at least one employee as an independent contractor.
That means no overtime, benefits, or workers' comp—all because companies are allowed to exploit their labor.
Stronger unions now.

Billionaires got $1.1 TRILLION richer during the pandemic while 8 million more Americans fell into poverty. When workers lack power, we perpetuate this inequality. Time for #UnionsforAll to level the playing field cnn.com/2021/01/26/bus

The fight for racial equality & economic equity are intertwined. Unions must become 'civil rights unions' by aggressively eliminating racism & discrimination in all forms, including within our ranks... In our current struggles for justice, there is no demand more urgent. #MLKDay

When we work together, we win together. Thank you to the countless volunteers that helped us make calls and send postcards to Georgia voters! #UnionStrong
We call on California Republican members of Congress, especially @GOPLeader, to immediately and forcefully condemn this attempted coup by white supremacist terrorists acting at Trump’s behest. Trust and believe we will not forget those who stayed silent during this civil unrest.

SCOOP: @LaurenKGurley obtained a spreadsheet that Google's union-busting consultants used to try to prevent a hospital from unionizing last year. It's a highly detailed dossier on every employee: "lazy," "money-oriented," "single-mother," "from Samoa"

Big congratulations to , a champion for working people who will make a tremendous US Senator! We applaud on this historic appointment

His appointment will make history. But the @AlexPadilla4CA I know is far more interested in changing history -- especially for the working men and women of our state and country.
I can think of no one better to represent the state of California as our next United States Senator.
