Hear the story of frontline staff at Youth Pride Inc. Youth Pride Inc. who are fighting for a first union contract with SEIU 1199NE despite ongoing retailiation from management. Thank you Bill Bartholomew for lifting up their voices!

While I walked proudly on union picket lines, Trump bashed unions from a non-union shop.

This Workers Memorial Day the union trades in RI demand safe working conditions for all construction workers. No one should have unsafe working conditions, & we need new city & state laws to mandate safety trainings & give inspectors the power to shut down unsafe work.

The ATU, Transit Union Local 618, w/ rider support, fought for higher wages, arguing to keep service strong, you need more workers & you need to pay more $$ to get more workers. You know what? They were right. When we fight, we win. #Solidarityisaverb 🍞🌹🌹
