 Can we talk about the massive labor uprising that was 2021? 10,000 John Deere workers went on strike for five weeks, winning a raise in bonuses and cost of living adjustments. Thousands of Nabisco workers went on strike for four weeks. They beat back the company's attempt to force 12-hour shifts with no overtime pay. Thousands of Buffalo, New York nurses went on strike for five weeks and won a landmark contract that guarantees safe staffing ratios. And this doesn't even begin to cover all of what's going on. Kellogg's workers, whiskey production workers, bus drivers, sanitation workers, graduate student workers, minors, flight attendants. The list goes on and on. And it's not just strikes. The first Starbucks stores in the country to successfully unionize. The final first round of the expanded child tax credit kept 3 million children out of poverty. Two big lessons from 2021. Poverty is a policy choice and organizing works.
