It's pretty rich that Greg Orff is bragging about giving Cives workers a measly $1 per hr increase a year ago because the company is hemorrhaging workers to BIW. Sorry Greg, that's not gonna cut it.

Ohio AFL-CIO:
Let's be clear, these are Republicans rolling back child labor laws. Only one party is wants us back in industrial revolution days where there were little to no protections for workers and children so the rich can get richer and pay off politicians with no moral compass. https://t.co/RvnHZeq6XS

It can not be overstated how much we ALL stand to lose if HB 2127 passes. 👇🧵
