Glad to see AFL-CIO ✊ Prez Liz Shuler sharing this piece about Missouri Workers Center organizing & how Amazon uses technology to exploit workers & try to stop them from unionizing.
Also glad to see her at SEIU convention talking about winning $15 min wage + #PaidSickDays in Missouri!
🚨TOMORROW🚨 The workers at Rose Brooks Center will begin voting to unionize with Laborers Local 955!
These workers provide critical support for survivors of domestic violence, including low-wage workers and Stand Up KC leaders like Ashley Ball.
