...against such serious charges. UFCW Western States Council is rescinding our endorsement of Swalwell and all campaign expenditures, and will convene our leaders to determine next steps.

The allegations of sexual misconduct against Eric Swalwell are extremely detailed, troubling, and gut-wrenching. We call on Swalwell to immediately suspend his campaign as he cannot continue a campaign that centers working people’s needs while at the same time defending himself..

César Chávez was one of the most inspirational labor leaders of the 20th century, who dedicated his life to fighting against the exploitation of immigrant workers. Today is about honoring his legacy. #CesarChavezDay

The ~$25 billion Kroger-Albertsons merger could affect grocery stores relied on by 85 million households. The company could jack up prices even higher and pay workers even less. This is a disaster in the making. The FTC has the power to intervene and stop it. They must act.

Happy Labor Day! One way to honor labor is by organizing a union or supporting organizing efforts throughout the country.

"Companies were raking in the profits and workers were putting their lives literally at risk. And even coming out of the pandemic, they felt underappreciated," said Jim Araby @UFCW5, "We've seen an uptick in organizing in the Bay Area at our local." ktvu.com/news/rei-employees-…

Welcome to the family @reiunionberk! It’s empowering to watch REI stores across the country unionize for better working conditions, benefits, and a voice in their co-op.
VICTORY: We voted and WE WON! We, the workers at REI in Berkeley, are proud to announce we have voted YES to unionize with @ufcw5. The official vote, tallied by the National Labor Relations Board, was 56 to 38.

Every day is a beautiful day to organize your workplace ✊
The labor uprising continues! Today alone: — Chipotle workers in Lansing, Michigan formed the first-ever unionized Chipotle in the U.S. — REI workers in Berkeley also voted to unionize, becoming the second REI in the U.S. to do so.
