[SIGN NOW] 12 Years Without a Raise

Corporations are throwing workers under the bus [Add your name and stand with Fight for $15 and a Union to support workers walking out and demand racial and economic justice. >>]( [SIGN NOW]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, Corporations and CEOs don’t raise our wages — but they’re still raising prices. Their greed knows no bounds. They’re jacking up prices despite raking in record profits while throwing workers under the bus. [Hold greedy corporations accountable now. >>]( [SIGN NOW]( Corporations say that the demand for higher wages is driving prices up. We call BS. Here’s why: - Starbucks won’t come to the table to consider a contract with higher wages and better benefits, but last year shelled out $5.3 million to pay their top lawyer while the company continues union busting. - Amazon recently announced they were going to raise the price of Prime, while buying back $10 billion in stock to juice their profits. - Oil companies are hiking the price of gas, using the war in Ukraine as an excuse for their price gouging. - McDonald’s announced they were raising prices while quietly resuming their $15 billion stock buyback program. Oh, and the federal minimum wage? Still $7.25. Executives at these corporations are still getting paid millions. They’re charging customers more to line their own pockets while ignoring workers. When prices go up, it’s workers like me who suffer the most. My paycheck doesn’t go as far when I’m buying groceries. A couple gallons of gas is more than my hourly wage. And still, corporations are trying to blame us for higher prices, just because we dared to ask for a living wage. We deserve better: and that starts with $15/hr, union rights, and an end to corporate greed.
