Somebody explain why ProPublica isn't ProLabor. I would think serving working people would be in their mission statement somewhere. No?

Germans work hundreds of fewer hours than Americans do on average. Technological improvements I would wager have something to do with that. prolabor legislation and organized labor have a lot to do with It. Among the problems with farmwork and housework is that it's almost entirely ununionized.
It's bizarre to me how many people in the comments here seem to think that automation is going to translate into more freedom for the working class.
When has that ever panned out? How much leisure time do you have, after years of these "innovations"? We are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football

NEW: Companies are already selling robots that pick fruit and vegetables and weed bots that can tell baby ragweed from baby carrots.

I can’t believe anyone would say it is tough right now to come up with a prolabor multiracial message. When everybody is like fuck AI.

Thanks to @nolore.bsky.social for a brilliantly simple summation: Low union density, especially in the private sector is the flip side of record-breaking profits. #Unionisation #Unionization #ProLabour #ProLabor #Unite

I'm fully supportive of a @utaheducationassoc.bsky.social strike in response to Governor Cox signing HB 267. Even though it would make my day to day life more challenging, our teachers and other public employees deserve better #utpol #uted #prolabor #proteachers #publicschools

one of the only good things i'll say for Biden is that he has consistently supported Irish independence, been more prolabor than most other neoliberals, & he fucking hated Henry Kissinger lol

I do feel like we're nearing the point in the cycle that modern capitalists have forgotten: Many of the high tax & prolabor elements brought into our system a lifetime ago were accepted by the elite because the alternative was pitchforks and mayhem at a level that would have reached the elite.

Why in capitalism do we laud business leaders who do whatever they can to maximize profits, but demonize workers who use one of the only tools at their disposal, refusal to work, to maximize their own?
Especially when there are SO many more of us workers?

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

How does the “democrats abandoned the working class” narrative square with the Biden Admin’s unusually assertive prolabor policy, at NLRB etc.? Is the claim about communication or about simply not doing more?

A good, quick thread on how collective bargaining works. #prolabor
I don't expect the general public to understand the intricacies of labor negotiations but I do expect people with a platform like a podcast to at least try to learn instead of just repeating ownership talking points or making assumptions based on things they've read that favor ownership. 1/10

It is also usually on people who have a very limited view of fixing those problems which is why you get a lot of "leftists" who arent supporting socialism or marxism but basicallly guild logic and puritan worker ethic instead thinking it is prolabor on a more preformativr level

It's a shame, because she is staunchly prolabor and reproductive rights. Unfortunately she hitched herself to Jared Golden; hope she disengages before she gets primaried (and then Ds will lose that district for sure - it's very conservative)

I'm not a single issue voter, but Biden has come up short on almost every one of my issues except for his NLRB actually being somewhat progressive. That being said though, when both parties have attacked & destroyed labor protections the last 100+ years, it's not hard to be a prolabor president.
