Arkansas AFL-CIO:
Please call 501-682-2902 and ask your Senators to give Arkansas workers a chance. They took away collective bargaining. They are cutting unemployment. This is ENOUGH. #arleg #arpx #arnews https://t.co/BQ6K4YlejN

It doesn’t have to work this way, @RickTxAFLCIO says. “Conscious decisions” & who gets to make rules created Enron-led deregulation that made winter storms a crisis, and made domestic workers “invisible.” Big advance: Organizing the South is labor priority. #TxAFLCIO #1u pic.twitter.com/qA5szkh8iY
