We've shared our open letter to @1199SEIU below. I think @USDOL @SEIU @DemSocialists @WorkingFamilies should also be aware of this. I know this is the labor fight that we don't talk about - when our unions fail us in representation. But we need to start.
@labornotes @dnunion @nycDSA @NYCCouncil @NYCComptroller We are building coalitions but we need your might on our side.
@labornotes @dnunion @nycDSA @NYCCouncil @NYCComptroller @OurRevolution This is a major issue that we never look at, but it is crucial for our shared progress.
We @democracynow @theintercept @Salon and our other media allies can take note of this nuanced perspective from #rankandfile #unionmembers -- as #amygoodman said on Democracy Now! today, we will get poorer if our wages are not adjusted for inflation.
quoting @RBReich “The pain is already being felt across the land. Most Americans aren’t getting inflation-adjusted wage increases, which means they’re becoming poorer.”

1/25 Open letter to @1199SEIU leaders:
At last chapter meeting we again asked why volunteer contract captains who attended orientation in late June were forgotten and kept as in the dark about contract negotiations as the rest of membership. We asked why they weren't given same
2/25 access to/participation in negotiations as 1 contract captain, who seems to be a full, active member of the Negotiation Committee from the beginning, participating in its deliberations and voting on its resolutions, and whose remote participation in each session has given
3/25 the lie to union leadership's baffling claim that remote access for members is logistically impossible. Our complaints about the role of contract captains, who are supposed to be well-informed and up-to-date on Negotiation Committee's progress so that they can inform members
