Unions are the answer to the plight of the workers! Big props to these workers to standing up and unionizing! Solidarity is getting stronger and stronger.

Solidarity with ALL Workers. Keep the Faith.

"We never predicted labor exploitation would be exploited by labor to subvert capitalism," recalled the fire starter. Or put another way, "I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dog!"
-
Worker's unions should discuss yearly profits and executive-to-worker pay ratios. Workers are the foundation! Workers make the business run!
-
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

Solidarity from the UK, best of luck to our US brothers and sisters in their struggle.

Good for you guys at Thomas built. I used to work in NC for a company that moved down there from NY. Low pay and 0 benefits. I ended up going back to the previous place I worked in Ohio before I moved to NC. When I did that I worked 100 hours in 11 days in Ohio then drove back to NC and spent 16 days off . Did that for 11 years. Still made 30% more doing that than working full time in NC!

Any society with no concept of 'enough', just more, more, more, is fertile soil for a highly exploitative business culture

As a previous NC resident and NC taxpayer, I am ashamed our taxes are going to fund the corporation and not the workers. Ive seen the good work these churches do to keep feeding everyone nor just food, but meat and vegetables. Ive seen working peoole with families struggle to get government help for food and rent, and be directed by NC government employeesto he churches. We already had a shortage of buses and bus drivers in the State because the government wasnt raising their wages and people werent gonna keep starving while doing the job. Now its also the people who make the buses. Drive around in small tow NC, youll see places that you wonder if the government forgot about them and let the town rot. This is so shameful.

Solidarity forever!

CEO’s used to make 20 times more than their average worker, now they make 350 times more! Their greed is out of control and hurting workers and their families as well as local economies.

I am so inspired by the US workers atm! You're invigorating workers even here in the Nordics, where we have a very strong union history. Get your proper rights and wages, friends! I'm sorry you have to fight this hard for them in 2024, but you're doing it; you're pushing that boulder and it is loosening visibly by now. All the very, very best from Denmark ❤

Executive compensation is out of control. These corporations like the one I work for all do the same thing. Everything for the people that sit on their ass and nothing for the people that actually work.
-
We NEED more UNIONS. POWER to the WORKERS ❤
-
I'm rooting for you! ✊️💪

Update: These people are now making $8/hr more than they were! I work for the Daimler plant in Cleveland, NC and we will all be getting the same pay at all 6 plants!
-
All power to the workers! Union strong 💪🏼
-
Hell yes! We love wins for workers!
-
Stand strong! Vote UNION YES!
