Pass the PRO Act. Pass the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. PERIOD.

Washington has talked about protecting workers long enough. We’ve got the numbers. Now let’s get shit done.

UNIONIZE EVERYTHING!

Public and local government workers deserve better pay, better benefits, and a damn seat at the table.

And to hell with anyone who disagrees.

Gallup found much the same in 2024: "over half of those who want to be their own boss (52%) say they would be willing to accept at least a fair amount of financial risk to do so"

More from this new international survey of 5,750 people:

"Forty-three percent of full-time employees would take a pay cut if it meant they were able to be their own boss — with the average person saying they’d cut a quarter of their salary to make it a reality (24%)."
