UPS workers are prepping for one of the biggest strikes in American history. We hit a Teamsters practice picket with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and hundreds of workers, who told us why 340,000 of them are ready to strike. The biggest demand? “We need to get paid.” We've been covering UPS Teamsters ahead of their looming strike deadline later this summer. If UPS fails to reach a fair deal with workers, over 300,000 workers could walk out on the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history. #ups #teamsters #strike #aoc ----- More Perfect Union is a new nonprofit media org with a mission to empower working people.

    Actually bolstering the protesters resolve by not getting only getting her support but by bringing her followers on board? I dont get why this is a question lol

      So taking PR credits for strikers doing all the work and taking all the risk…

      Also I don’t think “her followers” need to her to support the right thing.

      Clown politician worship has to stop.

        Your viewing it narrow mindedly…

        Imagine youre someone that follows someone you respect. You are someone who actively supports and donates to good causes

        Something happens on the otherside of the continent and you have no clue.

        When your respected individual supports the cause on the otherside of the continent and begins to spread awareness, you become aware and then you do your part in donating or spreading awareness which further validates the cause

        This is just one way to look at it too… just stop with the blind hate. Do you even have good examples about why aoc is just doing this for pr?
