The Michigan Senate passed my bill (SB 185) to restore collective bargaining rights to Research Assistants at our universities. These people perform life-saving and job-creating innovations and they deserve to be treated as employees. https://t.co/Ad1s8R0jQQ https://t.co/o3JUYmnEWB

Michigan Democrats are pushing for immediate relief for working people. Michigan Republicans are pushing for relief later; but, as usual, the Republican plan provides massive benefits to the wealthy and minimal benefits to working people. https://t.co/SPKVuVkeYM

Today in Lansing, I voted to restore the rights of workers & employers to contract freely and to restore prevailing wage policies. From food safety concerns to shoddy construction, we all benefit when workers are empowered to keep high standards for training, safety and quality. https://t.co/1LayJQ2Kg5

I'm with Michigan Medicine nurses who are fighting for a fair contract at UofM hospital. @umpncStrong is fighting for safe staffing levels that will improve patient care and working conditions for nurses. https://t.co/XT10dEzF6L
Railroad workers warned that lax safety standards and skeleton crews made railroads more dangerous for workers and the communities these trains run through. They begged for more staff and better working conditions while rail companies raked in record profits. LISTEN TO LABOR! https://t.co/sqea96S1m9

Look @KelloggsUS, @SpecialK already looks like scabs. It should NOT be made by scabs. Kellogg's workers deserve fair pay and reasonable conditions. I support @BCTGM and stand in solidarity with their strike. https://t.co/s1FV7Qk1fC
