Randell Hynes: From Army and Tech Veteran to Advocate for American Workers
Randell S. Hynes is a 33-year tech vet, U.S. Army veteran, husband, father, and founder of BuildUp Cooperative 501(c)(4), dba 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. As Team Kennedy’s Nevada Campaign Manager, he supported the push against corporate capture and fought for ballot access a second time after the campaign was misled by the State of Nevada about petitioning requirements. He’s been on those frontlines.
A year later, corporate capture 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 repurposed BuildUp Cooperative as a 501(c)(4) under the tradename U.S. Workers Alliance, a worker-led movement that is neither a union nor a political party. USWA is a political force to leverage the United State’s largest voting bloc, non-union workers.
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 actively 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 a nationwide launch of the movement on July 4, 2026.
He authored a book titled UNINCORPORĀTUS: A 2% Solution to the 1% Problem, scheduled for digital release before Memorial Day 2026.
