Can’t trust anyone, this was a no brainer… Right to Work should have already been reversed by now as well

Chris Seaman@cbseaman.bsky.social · 4mo ago

If accurate, this is a massive own goal by @abigailspanberger.com. Public-sector employees in VA worked their butts off to elect her last year. More importantly, they deserve the job security and a real voice at the table that come with collective bargaining. vadogwood.com/news/labor/b...

Disturbing… Chilling… Normalized… We are living at a time none of us could have ever imagined just a few years ago We need a conscious as a country

A Blue-Collar Union Leader Has A Warning About Trump. Can He Persuade His Own Members?

Though many of his members support Trump, labor leader Jimmy Williams Jr. has been an outspoken voice against the president's deportation campaign.

Festivus Yes!!! Starbucks No!!!

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right: Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

Join me, @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social , @sanders.senate.gov & thousands more as we stand up for our rights! act.aflcio.org/events/may-d...

In our movement, brother and sister extend beyond our own union. Today, I learned that a fellow union brother from the building trades, a first-year @smartunionworks apprentice, was unjustly taken by ICE and deported to a prison in El Salvador.

An important decision today to buy some time for our members, but make no mistake this is just the beginning of what can be a protracted battle

Judge rips Trump administration's 'unprecedented action' in new ruling

BREAKING: The National Treasury Employees Union, representing 150,000 workers, is suing Trump over his executive order to end collective bargaining rights for federal workers.

Gutting union rights for federal workers is an attack on the people who protect our food, care for our veterans, and serve our communities. Under this administration, no union contract is safe.

The Labor Movement warned the working class about this administrations plans for unions and collective bargaining. The Democratic Party didn’t do enough to energize the working class. The time is now to see if they will make workers rights the center of the party!!

I would hate to call for a National General Strike… but I feel like everyone might start feeling sick 🤧 on a certain first Thursday in May

Dismantling Collective Bargaining is and always will be the work of a rat 🐀

Union Busting yet again

371 events. 44 states and D.C. and hundreds of thousands of workers across the country standing up and making their voices heard. We won't let billionaires and their fake government agency, DOGE, gut the essential services working people rely on without a fight.

Working people are fed up with a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. That’s not the future that working people deserve, and we’re fighting for a better one. America’s unions are standing up every day against corporate greed.

National Association of Letter Carriers@lettercarriers.bsky.social · last yr.

Make no mistake, this is an attack on letter carriers, on all 640,000 postal employees, on 8 million jobs attached to USPS. A $1.9 trillion attack on an industry central to our economy, on 51.5 million rural households & businesses, on over 300 million Americans who rely on USPS #HellNo

Wait…. I thought they didn’t pay taxes 🤔 All just a plan to push more workers into the underground economy

khwalz@khwalz.bsky.social · last yr.

The IRS, which usually played it straight w/confidentiality, will now apparently capitulate to Shitler & make working people's lives even more miserable. Hope this shyte goes to court. This is all the fucker is doing--mass deportations of anyone he pleases, pissing off our allies, and playing golf.

And maybe a good time to call for #Medicare4All

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · last yr.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

"Mahmoud Khalil has moral courage of the type Eugene Debs spoke about more than a century ago in a speech that he was unjustly arrested for."

The Labor Movement Should Stand Up for Mahmoud Khalil

Unions have a moral imperative to defend against illegal attacks on political speech. That means demanding justice for Mahmoud Khalil.

Denver has come out to see AOC & Bernie tonight. But, IUPAT President Jimmy Williams just set the crowd alight 🔥 “I have a message to the Democratic Party: GET OFF YOUR ASS! “We are not gonna poll our way out. We are not gonna consult our way out. We are gonna organize our way out." 👏
