There's a reason Reagan declared war on unions before he declared war on everything else - environmental protection, health care, consumer rights, financial regulation. Unions are how working people fight for a better world for all of us. They're how everyday people come together to resist oligarchy, extraction and exploitation.

The #Teamsters have been historically known fighting for rights of all, race, sexually, gender identity, the undocumented workers, everyone. I've seen it myself and been a part of it. Everyone in the workforce is made to be proud for hard work and rewarded for it. The billionaires really hate the lack of divisiveness in a strong union work force and attempt to drive wedges between the strong unity and solidarity.

160,000 SAG-AFTRA Members to Strike with 11,000 of the Writers Guild for 1st Time in 60 Years

A new coalition called The Union Solidarity Coalition (TUSC) was launched by various Hollywood workers and stars, including Ben Stiller, Boots Riley. Lula Wang, Jay Roach, Daniel Kwan, and Natasha Lyonne.\
\
TUSC hopes to inspire workers not just in Hollywood to take action but around the country. The group launches its effort during the โ€œSummer of Strikes,โ€ with massive nationwide strikes looming of over 340,000 Teamsters at UPS and 150,000 UAW Members employed by the โ€œBig Threeโ€ automakers as well as elsewhere. Strikes elsewhere, in particular, a series of roving hotel workers strike throughout Southern California, including near Disneyland, have helped Hollywood workers to think about how they can expand their solidarity to help other unions.\
\
โ€œWatching people honor our picket lines touched and inspired us, and presented us with a model for unity in action,โ€ said the TUSC in a statement. โ€œThough the [Writersโ€™ Guild] strike is the catalyst for creating TUSC, we feel this is just the beginning of a larger, urgent movement of solidarity between all of the industry unions, and also our coworkers who arenโ€™t part of a union. We want to think big about how we can support each other in the face of a national labor crisis.โ€
