Iowa and MN are working on bills to allow children to work in SUPER dangerous work like industrial laundry and meatpacking, and limit liability if kids get hurt or killed.

They’d rather use child labor than improve the jobs and pay to retain adult workers washingtonpost.com/business/2023/… Minimum wage in Iowa is the federal minimum. That sure seems like a more reasonable place to start

Remember this man pretends he was chosen by a god to sit on a heaping hoard of stolen treasure while the rest of us struggle, AND the country pays HIM for this. He doesn’t serve the people, he “rules” the people Direct payments, upkeeping sprawling estates, “royal tours” visiting places they enslaved and colonized. Maybe a lavish coronation, a RELIGIOUS CEREMONY, affirming some “holy” entitlement?

All of it on the backs of folks who can barely keep the lights on nbcchicago.com/entertainment/…

I learned some things about feline poxvirus as an EXAMPLE to talk about a similar virus. If a cat gets a catpox, it can spread to cat people.

If there’s an outbreak & only cat folks can be tested, it will seem like ONLY cats or cat people get it. Cats start getting dirty looks. An orange cat is looking at... Let’s say Cheryl lives in a town that is starting to be kinda mean to cats and cat people. Bad for cats!

Cheryl doesn’t even know any cats. When she gets some catpox symptoms, her doctor says it is something else and no precautions are taken. Bad for Cheryl and her whole town!

I started drafting this thread a long time ago, maybe one of you can? I got too tired.

I asked Jean to help me talk about “rules” and the rulemaking process An orange cat is in the cla... Generally speaking, lawmakers set a broad policy mandate by passing a law, then agencies create more detailed regulations through rulemaking. Federal examples of agencies would be the @USDOL or the @USDA

I have a theory. I’ve been thinking about how younger workers have a higher regard for unions compared to older folks. It’s not just because they want better for themselves 1/ A thoughtful orange cat is upside down. In the background tw Even though they have way less wealth, younger generations of workers are remarkably generous and empathetic compared to older generations. They’re also more ambitious in their empathy.

They want things to be better for everyone. They also believe they CAN make a difference Two captioned photos of young worker leaders. New York Time

I was very very hungry a lot when I was Outside, so I still get worried about there being enough food even here Inside. This is not a food or eating issue. It is a feelings issue, so l learned some things about that… An orange cat’s face. He is laying with his head dangling This contributes to my trash can mishaps (but also sometimes I’m just having fun tbh). I also don’t eat my meal right away if nobody is around, in case they don’t come back to ever feed me again.

Know how I learned this? We spent time with an expert in cat thoughts and feelings

🚨OK JORTSDOM: I need ALL of you to step up for farm workers. On Cesar Chavez Day (3/31) United Farm Workers asked CA Governor Newsom to meet with them… and HE SAID NO.

They have a really important message, so we have to help them be heard. They feed us! A graphic with an orange cat holding a United Farm Workers f What could POSSIBLY be more important on Cesar Chavez Day than meeting with the farm workers?!

Here’s a link where you can find and sign up for your local action on March 31. If the events aren’t local, join remotely or have your OWN event where you are!

I met a friend of mine because they DMed me asking about their job. They were quitting soon, but they knew their coworkers couldn’t quit. They were experiencing labor abuse and wage theft. “Before I quit,” they asked, “how can I help my coworkers?” They read up on their state laws about last paychecks. They talked to their local wage and hour agency for advice. They gathered screenshots and emails and other documents.

They talked privately to their coworkers to get their contact info. Then, they quit. (Because they could)

Wage theft is the most expensive crime in the USA. Fifteeen BILLION dollars are stolen from American workers per year. What is wage theft, and why is this still happening? 1/ A photoshop illustration of an orange cat and a tortoiseshel Wage theft is when workers aren’t paid the full amount they are owed. For example if you aren’t paid for the full time you work when you have to come early, wait around, or stay late. It’s STEALING from you

It’s so exciting that so many workers are asking about how to form a union where you work! Jean helped me make a thread of basic advice that applies to most workers in the USA A graphic illustration with a tortoiseshell cat. Next the th For most workers there are 4 basic steps.

1. Talk to your co-workers who already agree with you. (NOT your boss obviously!)

2. Get advice by googling where you live + type of job + union, and ask the union local near you for advice. Most websites have a contact listed for this!
