"A Deceptive Moral Coward" It is unfortunate but that title is 100% earned and verified. Dom wouldn't use that description if he didn'thave the receipts. @akpffa

Dan Doonan's latest @Forbes column details how defined benefit pensions play a crucial role in recruiting and retaining public-sector employees, especially for education and public safety positions. https://t.co/QR3Mn45Q0U

READ: Justice Sotomayor's warning in her dissent:

"When [the president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority's message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

.@IAFFofficial members and supporters rallied today for the 125 members of the Fire Fighters who were locked out by @Boeing in an attempt to coerce firefighters into accepting a substandard contract. Boeing is showing that it does not care about the safety of its employees or the public. We call on Boeing to negotiate fairly!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Collective bargaining is a right that helps employers and employees.

I’m concerned by reports that Boeing locked out IAFF I-66 members. I encourage folks to return to the table to secure a deal that benefits Boeing and gets these firefighters the pay and benefits they deserve.

BOEING just removed its hourly firefighters and EMS personnel from all washington facilities.

Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create.

It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.
