Friend,

This is one of the most exciting times for labor rights in a generation!

From baristas to housekeepers, drivers to scriptwriters, tens of thousands
of workers are striking for better pay and working conditions from
corporations that have been making billions of dollars off of their backs
for far too long. [ [link removed] ]And in a moment we're going to share how you can
help.

The thing is, those corporations are not fighting fair. All over
California and beyond, CEOs are ordering union-busting techniques that are
squashing workers' rights:

* Starbucks stopped unionized stores from using machines that can
collect tips, costing workers significant wages.
* Netflix brought in international writers to cross picket lines and
undermine the SAG strike. Hotels in Los Angeles are also hiring
temporary low-wage workers to replace striking employees.
* Amazon fired every driver from Palmdale, CA, who organized to fight
for safe conditions.
* Trader Joe's cut the hours of unionizing employees, keeping them from
earning benefits like health insurance.

We can't let this union-busting stand! We need to make sure that 2023's
Hot Labor Summer is a success, and the best way we can do that is
spreading the word far and wide. We want Attorney General Rob Bonta to
stop corporate abuses, and the more people we reach, the better the chance
that will happen.

help you tell thousands of people what's going on! 

We know that the more we spread the word, the more pressure the
corporations feel. And every time you share, you make a huge impact. Our
research shows that more than 1,000 people connect with these posts every
time they're shared!

Our social share tool is super easy to use -- just click on the social
media you typically use, whether it be Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or
even WhatsApp, and you'll get a choice of which corporation's workers you
want to show support for. We've got customizable posts about Starbucks,
Marriott, Amazon, Trader Joe's, and Netflix -- it's all up to you!

Here's a glimpse at what it looks like (but we have lots more choices!):

Choose whichever post for whichever group of workers you'd like to
support, and you can change the text anyway you'd like. It's just that
simple!

So let's do our part for Hot Labor Summer and stand up for against
union-busting!
