Randell Hynes: From Army and Tech Veteran to Advocate for American Workers
Randell S. Hynes is a 33-year tech veteran, U.S. Army veteran, father, and founder of the U.S. Workers Alliance. After being laid off at age 63 and forced to train his own foreign replacement, he turned personal setback into a national mission: restoring real power to the 170 million non-union American workers who have been left behind by both political parties and corporate interests.
After leaving the military, he spent more than three decades in the technology sector, including a long career at AT&T. He later applied his organizational expertise to Nevada politics, where he managed campaigns and gained firsthand insight into how Washington insiders and corporate lobbyists rig the system against everyday Americans.
That system broke for Randell in the most personal way possible. Laid off at 63, he was ordered to train his overseas replacement — a moment that crystallized everything wrong with America’s economy. Instead of staying silent, he founded BuildUp Co-op in 2023 (later repositioned in 2025 as a 21st-century “on-demand” worker empowerment platform). In 2025 he launched the U.S. Workers Alliance, a worker-led movement that is not a union and not a political party.
Randell’s core message is simple and urgent:
Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), every American worker already has the legal right to organize, discuss wages, and demand better conditions — even without joining a traditional union. But those rights are meaningless when employers can fire workers with virtually no consequences. Congress must pass immediate, financially severe penalties for retaliation so workers can finally exercise the rights they are promised on paper.
This is Day 0 of the Worker Rights Revolution. Through the U.S. Workers Alliance and the Clean Slate 2028 campaign, Randell is exposing the 50-year corporate capture of American politics that began with the Powell Memo and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. His goal is to replace every member of Congress who puts corporate donors ahead of American workers — and to restore a constitutional republic that puts Americans First.
Randell lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is not religious but believes deeply that Americans are connected spiritually and socially through shared values of fairness, self-reliance, and national sovereignty. He continues to document the “slow bleed” of worker power, build tools for non-union workers to negotiate effectively, and prepare for the July 4, 2026 nationwide launch of the movement.
