Join Labor for Abdul

Coming up this week on Thursday, April 23, Henry Ford in Grand Blanc is holding a job fair to hire nurses while those same nurses walk a picket line in front of the hospital.  Let’s show our support!

Join us for a virtual call every other Sunday at 1 to talk with other Labor for Abdul volunteers on how to mobilize the working class for our candidate. In the state that built the American Dream, it shouldn’t be this hard to get by. Abdul believes in an economy built by and for working people, where one good job can support a family, every worker has the right to join a union, and everyone has guaranteed healthcare, no matter what they do for work. Having been a proud card-carrying member of AFT Local 477 and 6244, SEIU Local 500, the National Writers Union, and the AAUP, Abdul knows that unions are essential to a fair economy. He’s fighting against corporate tax breaks and billionaire influence, for fair wages, strong labor protections, and a future where world-changing technologies like AI work for people, not against them.
