Big win for 300,000 workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs. A federal judge ordered the VA to restore their union contract after finding the cancellation was illegal retaliation against @AFGENational. No matter what the obstacles, federal workers keep fighting forward.
The state of our unions—and working people across the country—is under attack.
Right now, our labor movement is fighting back against a government that is of, by and for billionaires and greedy CEOs.
Congratulations to @Jimmy_iupat on his well deserved @massCLU Salt of the Earth Award!
While some leaders have chosen to punch down during these trying times, Jimmy has been reaching down and pulling workers up.
Now more than ever we need people like Jimmy to lead the way!
On the Line interviewed Casey Wilbanks, a member and steward with Teamsters Local 623 in Philadelphia. Casey helped to bring forward a resolution to stand in solidarity with their immigrant coworkers and fight against the billionaire agenda.

97% of our members voted yes to strike if necessary. And we have high union density.
Our members were fed up.
You’d think this would cause @CCPedu management and board of trustees to reflect on how they could do a better job of working with faculty and staff.
But no.
After 33 years of dedicated service, Carrie S, senior groundskeeper and @Teamsters union steward, was unjustly terminated by @brookfield_zoo. Teamsters Local 727 is fighting back. Stand with Carrie and sign the petition: https://t.co/qvN9lbU0c2 #JusticeForCarrie#UnionStrong
Please help support 33 year @Teamsters member Carrie that @brookfield_zoo terminated without just cause! Sign the online petition at https://t.co/qvN9lbU0c2
If @UPS cared about our members' safety, they would follow the contract. Drivers working 11-14 hour days is not safe. Fatigued drivers are a danger to the public. More injuries & accidents happen when drivers are overworked.
Thank you, @PHLCouncil, for calling this out. @GrimKim
If you know anything about the labor movement, you know that we don’t fall in line for autocrats or oligarchs.
Unions are how we fight back against the billionaire takeover of our essential services.
We didn't need 100 days to know who Musk/Trump was for. We always knew!
50,000 @TSA workers lose their collective bargaining rights
700000 @AFGENational@AFGEPrezKelley lost their union rights
The @NLRB is dismantled
Let's weaponize our solidarity & fight back
Honored to join Nicole Fuller, Presidents Ferritto and Bauder, and the @Philaposh1 community at Friday’s Workers Memorial Day Breakfast. We remember those we’ve lost, and we demand stronger protections so no worker has to risk their life to earn a living.
As someone who personally spent nearly two months in the summer of 2020 every day supporting the most basic of freedoms….speech!!
To have three simple and easy words #BlackLivesMatter erased, is even more motivation to fight harder for a better future for all!!
