It was a pleasure to meet with members of @uawregion6.bsky.social last week to discuss the need for Congress to support scientists and workers. As an original co-sponsor of the PRO Act, I believe in the right to organize and bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

UAW 4121 president Natalie Wellen in support: at UW we've already seen impact of cuts reducing jobs, less support for students. "We want to see our state meet this moment with bold ideas to immediately safeguard education and health care, not further cuts"
🧵 The UAW stands in solidarity with the people of Minnesota, including hundreds of UAW members, who are standing up and fighting back against the federal government’s abuses and attacks on the working class.
Every single worker deserves living wages and a safe work environment, and I will continue to fight alongside my sisters and brothers at the @uawregion6.bsky.social for just that. Thank you again for putting your trust in me.
“If you have an opportunity to stand up and you can do it with a greater degree of safety than a lot of your colleagues do or can, then you have an obligation to. Everyone has an obligation to do what they can.” @uawregion6.bsky.social | @uaw4811.bsky.social edsource.org/2025/uaw-481...

🧵 A coalition of labor unions, health care providers, schools, and religious organizations filed suit today to stop President Trump’s latest anti-immigration power grab: a sweeping executive action that slaps an unlawful new $100,000 price tag on every new H-1B application.
Democracy Forward@democracyforward.org · 12mo agoBREAKING: We’re suing to stop President Trump’s latest anti-immigration stunt that slapped a $100,000 price tag on every H-1B visa application. This innovation ban has thrown U.S. employers that rely on H-1B to hire engineers, teachers, and doctors into chaos. This abuse of power must stop.
