Proud to stand alongside these guys as they seek to form a Union. Great turnout from the Grand Rapids community this morning! #organize #Solidarity #UnionTown

Organizers claim the workers chose Local Union 174 to represent them, but management has been trying to keep that from happening. https://t.co/muwvDDQnZG

Glad I got to attend the @_TWBN_ banner parade and cheer on our Michigan Pipe Trades delegation. You won't find more #unionpride anywhere!

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

Helped fight oligarchy this past weekend with some like minded champions of the working class! Thanks for the invite @AbdulElSayed and @BernieSanders

We are underway! Come down and check out a career in the pipe trades! 8am-4pm we're doing live demonstrations to show everyone what we do. 4pm-7pm we'll have contractors here looking to hire people currently working in the trade. #skilledtrades #UAProud #apprenticeships

Fascinating data crunch of H1-B program and how it's used currently in the US.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.

I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

Here's what I found 👇

@TimRyan Great op piece! I hope they listen!

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

Absolutely spot on from @TimRyan As a Union guy from a West Michigan mill town I couldn't agree more. The Dem's time is running out to win back the working class and they can't win back voters they don't understand. https://t.co/3FU5NKNp2d

@Rep_Andrews Thank you! This will help us recruit AND RETAIN a construction workforce that will build Michigan for years to come.

@BenGardner87 Nothing official but I think our local was 60/40 Harris. A lot of young members have never experienced hard times so they have no idea how good the Biden admin was for us.

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

@TheRichFromCali I would, but he'll be Governor of MI by then

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

@johnpavlovitz @marceelias I ran the numbers on three counties in Midwest Michigan where I live and there was nothing to see. Almost mirrored 2016. Lots of R's voted Trump only which is why down ballot Dems outperformed.

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

Building Trades workers can't afford another Trump term! #UAProud #HarrisWalz2024

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

Always great to have @SecGranholm back in the mitten, especially when she's kicking it with the UA! #UAProud

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

The Biden-Harris Administration is creating pathways to good-paying, family-sustaining union jobs.

Great to join @UAPipeTrades in MI to share how we're investing to expand apprenticeships, boost union membership, and build over 800 clean energy projects nationwide.

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

New hard hat decor!

[Ryan Bennett @174Steamfitter]

Always a great event. It's inspiring to see the pride that our brothers and sisters take in mastering our craft.

With PLAs in place, our members are set to build the next generation of American semiconductor manufacturing in New York and Idaho. These investments from @POTUS are another step towards regaining our rightful place as the world leader in semiconductors built by union labor.
