Construction workers shouldn’t earn less because teachers are paid shit. The question should be how construction workers have managed to win higher wages from their shitty bosses and why doesn’t Labor pay education workers more (considering Labor is their boss at the moment). The answer is industrial action.

These grassroots labor organizers have risked their jobs to fight for dignity and opportunity for all workers. It is because of their courage and determination that I could not be more optimistic about the future of the labor movement.

America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush their workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing their workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way.

Such a beautiful video this is, specially the way the Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu is speaking to the construction workers, listening to them and making them feel seen… It doesn’t look forced at all, because the workers are so comfortable around him.

🚨 JUST NOW: VP JD Vance says he's not WORRIED about AI or robots taking over American jobs - because it will simply raise our wages and just CHANGE the job. "You'll have construction workers USING robots, DIRECTING robots, able to do more with less! You always need construction workers. But I want their wages to go up...lean into tech, and that's what's gonna happen." "If we really lean into robotics and tech, it'll raise everybody's wages." A well though-out answer from 48!

American goes and inspects new build homes and notices a strange trend. The homes with the absolute worst workmanship always have empty Modelo beer cans everywhere It’s a tell tale sign that cheap illegal labor is being hired to build new homes by construction companies The joking term for these workers are “Border Brothers construction, Modelo homes, etc.” Just look at this home… this is a new build that will go for over half a million dollars and it’s built HORRIBLY. Imagine buying this and all the issues you’ll have later - A 2023 study found about 15% of the construction industry workforce is illegal immigrants. Many people believe this number is drastically higher - 19% of construction occupations are illegal migrants - They estimate there are roughly 1.6 million unauthorized illegal construction workers nationwide - 2023 data said construction accounts for about 20% of all undocumented workers If you break it down by worker the numbers are even more shocking 38% of drywall workers are illegals 39% of plaster workers are illegals 36% of roofers are illegals It goes on and on. This is insane

This is happening everywhere, job sites across America sitting totally abandoned. Why? Because the moment Biden flung the borders open, these companies dumped American workers and flooded their crews with cheap criminal alien labor. They built their entire operations on it. Now the sites are empty, their cheap-labor has vanished, and projects sit unfinished. These should be American jobs, but they were stolen.

Birmingham bin workers being told to take an £8k pay cut. These workers will be unable to pay their mortgages, their rent. Why are workers in #Birmingham paying for a crisis not of their making? This is the incompetence of Birmingham City Council.

The Victorian Labor Government is controlled by the CFMEU, so every construction job they undertake shells out unbelievable amounts of taxpayer money to all the workers. This is why the builds take so long, the motto is ‘more days, more pays’. It’s wonderful for the workers bank accounts, but a disaster for Victoria’s essential services.

So now ICE Agents are showing up at homes pretending to be Amazon workers, municipal workers, construction workers, survey takers and whatever they think will get a door to open. Communities are afraid to open their doors to anyone. It is hard to trust the government in Trump's America. #DemsUnited

JACINTA LIED TO US! 🚨🌾 We were told that foreign sugarcane workers are being exploited and paid "slave wages." But many farmers say experienced sugarcane workers are paid well above the national minimum wage, especially where pay is linked to productivity and output. The bigger question is this: if these jobs are supposedly so poorly paid, why do many farmers say they struggle to recruit enough local workers while experienced workers from neighbouring countries continue to fill the vacancies? Perhaps the real debate isn't just about wages, it's also about the demanding nature of the work, labour shortages, and how South Africa secures enough workers to keep key agricultural industries running. Let's have an honest conversation based on facts, not slogans 🌾🇿🇦

This is what’s frustrating. He asks a simple question: If we have unemployed workers and STEM grads… why are we still importing labor through H-1Bs? No answer. Because if you apply basic supply and demand… you expose the truth.

The safety of workers is critical and so are the facts. There’s been a lot said about the CFMEU and Victorian workers this week. We stand firmly for workers’ rights. For fair pay, safe workplaces, and secure conditions. No one should fear having their wages cut or their hard-earned entitlements clawed back. And we can’t let this serious issue be the subject of untested and unfounded information. Victorians deserve honesty and workers deserve protection, not political games and the deep desire of the Liberals to claw back workers pay and conditions.
