TFW your colleague who isn’t afraid to speak up sees a problem at the workplace and you just know they’re about to go off 🤣
Those in power want to divide us. But they can’t if we build power together! One of the best ways to do that is by joining together in a union, so there’s a seat at the table for all of us, no matter what we do for a living.
Someone should’ve told D.W. a closed mouth won’t get fed. As we fight for more worker power, ALL of us regardless of union status are about to eat. Time to grab a bigger bowl 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻
Big shoutout to more than 5,000 Penn State faculty members who just WON their union!
Faculty members across all ranks and departments, across race and immigration statuses, tenured and contingent, full-time and part-time, at Penn State University Park and across the Commonwealth Campuses just achieved a historic victory. When we fight, we WIN! #UnionsForAll
Saw this and it really sums up a lot of what’s happening right now.
When it comes to wealth concentration, housing costs, and political influence, the same group keeps coming up. But when things go wrong, the blame gets shifted somewhere else entirely.
It’s interesting how often the conversation avoids talking about who actually holds the most power in the economy and instead focuses on people who have far less influence over these systems.
Curious what others think, why does the blame get redirected like this instead of staying on the systems and people with the most control?
In May 2025, 50-year-old Rene Nichole Coleman of Jonesboro, Arkansas was accidentally overpaid due to a payroll glitch. Instead of her normal rate of $16.50/hour, the payroll system paid her $1,650/hour for a 12-hour shift — totaling $19,400 for a single day's work. When her employer requested the money back, Coleman refused, claiming that since it was the company's mistake, she shouldn't be responsible for returning it. The company reported her to the police.
