👀 I already been through a teachers strike last year. My colleagues are gonna be oissed that we gotta go through all that again. Unemployment insurance would sure help them get their heads back in that game.

Why UI for striking workers? Because as we risk sliding towards oligarchy, it’s absolutely imperative that workers have not only the right to strike, but the ability to survive. We’re not talking about job replacement $— this is about the ability to barely feed your family with no income coming in.

We have been quietly working for months with other labor leaders in other states to identify ways to hold the line and advance worker voices.
