The Power of Worker Bees: Why We Organize the South

Honeybees – small but mighty creatures that make life possible. They work together, each with a role, ensuring the survival of their hive. Just like honeybees, workers keep the world running – from transportation to caregiving, from cooking to serving food. 

During the pandemic, we were called "essential workers" because society depends on us. But like the worker bee, our strength isn’t individual – it’s in our collective power. 

💪🏽 Our union is our hive. 💪🏽 

In the South, we’ve seen decades of resistance to unions. From the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, designed to suppress worker power, to today’s corporate and political efforts to keep us divided, we’ve always had to fight for our rights. But history shows us the way, and workers before us have fought and won. 

Now, it’s our turn. 

We’re organizing for: 
✅ Fair wages we can build our lives on 
✅ Dignity and respect for ALL workers 
✅ Safe workplaces free from exploitation 

If you feel alone or disempowered at work, know this: you’re not alone. It’s time to build our hive. 🐝 ✊🏾 💥

Educate, agitate, and organize. 🚨 Join the movement. Unionize your workplace. 🚨 Sign our petition of universal demands for employers: https://action.ussw.org/a/demands 

We won’t be stopped. We won’t be turned around. Together, we are unstoppable.
