Today is Black Friday, and retail workers are feeling it.

Whether you work in an unsafe Amazon warehouse or a Walmart with literal doorbuster sales, workers are getting the short end of the stick. Arguing for better wages or working conditions one-by-one gets us nowhere. We need unions.

Support unions before Donald Trump retakes the White House! Demand the Senate confirm NLRB Nominee Lauren McFerran today!

Thanks,

-- MICHAEL'S EMAIL --

John,

Donald Trump is going to be President again.

But just because a picket line-crossing scab will once again occupy the Oval Office doesn’t mean working people are sunk.

Joe Biden’s final NLRB nomination is sitting in the Senate and, if confirmed, she would secure a pro-worker majority on the board through 2026.

Unions helped build our Social Security system. Strong unions make a strong Social Security system. We need to put pressure on the Senate to confirm NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran!

Tell the Senate: Confirm NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran’s renomination and ensure a pro-worker majority on the Board through 2026!

ADD YOUR VOICE

Chair McFerran’s current term expires December 16th. But if the Senate confirms her renomination, she will be able to serve another five-year term―securing a majority of board seats for pro-worker board members until 2026!

Stagnant wages and gaping inequality are among the biggest reasons for Social Security’s funding shortfall. Strong unions that fight for better wages reduce inequality and put more money into workers’ pockets―and into Social Security’s trust fund.

Tell the Senate: Fight for workers! Confirm Lauren McFerran’s renomination for a five-year term on the NLRB before Donald Trump takes office!

Thank you,

Michael Phelan
