“People are tired of toxic environments. They're tired of being treated poorly and not having a say in how their workplace is being shaped or changed.”

“Employers have the ability to voluntarily recognize them off the spot, but that doesn't always happen as we know. And then there's a contract negotiation process that goes on”

“It’s not enough to protect what we have, we’re not just going to recover what we have lost. This is about taking risks to define the future…on our terms.”

“As many women in our movement do – we find ourselves outside the spotlight, doing the hard work behind the scenes, focusing on making big plans come together to benefit the whole”

“We need to join together and speak out for good wages, great benefits, fair scheduling and equal pay for equal work”

“The ability to speak up for each other on the job and at the ballot box is a crucial component in determining the rights and enacting the policies that affect the lives of millions of women and their families.”

“Every worker deserves to have protections on the job and it is the goal of the labor movement to ensure that happens.”
