“For over 40 years, union busting has been enabled and unions have been in various ways squashed and diminished in power. That’s beginning to change now, as everything from Amazon, to @UAW to writers and actors arising up in a reinvigorated chapter of American labor. It’s important for all of us to recognize that this is an issue central to American democracy. It has to do with whether or not there is economic justice and fair opportunity shown to the average American. This is not just about labor unions specifically; it’s about what kind of country we want to live in. @Shut_downAmazon”
Tim Walz
“Minnesota says, Welcome to a state who values who you are and protects you for who you are.”
