As grocery stores automate more of the work traditionally done by employees, it is critical we understand what is truly at stake for workers and their livelihoods. A new study from @AFLCIOTech examines exactly that. 🔗 bit.ly/4xOyOYX

Surveillance pricing could mean using our data to charge different prices for the same groceries, while electronic shelf labels make price changes & job cuts easier than ever. Today, UFCW leaders, members, & allies are fighting these systems! Full Story: bit.ly/42HGBK6

Large grocery chains are quietly replacing paper price tags with electronic shelf labels- digital screens that can change prices at any moment. There is currently no legislation preventing stores from using this technology, but it is time to change that. UFCW.org/StopESL

It is an honor to have the first labor endorsement in this race from @UFCW99 💪 I will always proudly stand with the thousands of grocery store workers, healthcare workers, and those who keep Arizona running. When I’m in Congress, I am ready to fight for common sense legislation that lower costs and secures a better deal for working families to help them get ahead.

Workers at Bookmans Flagstaff Entertainment Exchange in Flagstaff, AZ, have officially joined @UFCW99! Workers' decision to unionize was voluntarily recognized by management after 100% of the staff authorized union representation. Let’s get to work! ➡️ bit.ly/3Z8yy8h

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.” I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people. So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.

So grateful for our team our knocking doors today!! It is hot, but this election is too important to sit on the sidelines. As the only candidate in this race endorsed by @ppaf, @reproforall, @CaptMarkKelly, our coalition is taking our organizing to the next level to continue to fight against extremism, advocate for reproductive freedom, and create an economy that moves all of us forward. MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS to our wonderful volunteers - especially today to Rosa for making us burritos. ¡Juntos, sí se puede!

At the @LFCArizona fundraiser yesterday, @krismayes reminded us that every single vote matters. In 2022, when millions of Arizonans cast their ballots, we won by just 280 votes. Now, AG Mayes is protecting abortion access, conserving our water, and defending affordable housing. That's what can happen when we knock on doors and tell our neighbors about the importance of casting their ballots. ONE DAY of canvassing can make all the difference in our state and in #AZ03. We have that chance again this July - join us at raquelteran.com! Thanks to @UFCW99 for a great evening!

Workers at Southwest Airlines in Arizona face retaliation complaints for using earned sick time; 22 workers filed complaints, totaling $702,300 in fines. Southwest argues its policy isn't retaliation. bit.ly/4afz9If #PaidSickDays @AMFANational @UFCW99 @PoderLatinx
