In recent years, violent attacks and serious crimes against letter carriers have become twice as frequent. We join @NALC_National in calling on Congress to cosponsor and pass the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act to keep these public servants safe.

Thank you @PeteButtigieg for standing with @Steelworkers at local 7-1 in Whiting, IN! #EndTheLockout ✊🏾✊🏾

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Standing in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of @steelworkers in Whiting, Indiana, who have been locked out for more than two months. It’s time for serious negotiations for a fair deal so this lockout can end and these Hoosiers can get back on the job and earn an income to support themselves and their families.

In 2026, @TTDAFLCIO has proudly welcomed two labor leaders to our Executive Committee; @Steelworkers International President Roxanne Brown & @TheIronworkers General President Kevin Bryenton.

[United Steelworkers Union @steelworkers]

Tens of thousands of American steelworkers stand at the ready to supply our nation with high-quality products. The White House – the people’s house – belongs not to one person or administration, but to all of us.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

Congratulations to the @TheWNBPA union sisters on unanimously ratifying a new contract. The players stuck together, demanded what they’re worth, and won a contract that properly recognizes their success.

Union women get it done. https://t.co/UIvl1sI3sV

Thousands of workers in Southwest Pennsylvania are better off because of @AlleghenyLabor President @Darrinkellypgh’s leadership.

Our union family will miss you so much, Darrin. Thank you for your incredible dedication and service to our labor movement. https://t.co/PH83ilJMuw

[Congressman Chris Deluzio @RepDeluzio]

From the beginning, the workers who power this company should have had a seat at the negotiating table—their livelihoods hung in the balance.

No matter what, I will keep fighting to protect Western PA Steelworker jobs and American steelmaking. https://t.co/Wr1aGNkLur

Honored to join the @MeidasTouch podcast today to speak some truth to power! ✊🏾 @steelworkers #1u

International VP of the United Steelworkers Roxanne Brown:

I don’t know if I can curse on this podcast, but I’m a steelworker. One of the things I always say is, you can’t bullshit a steelworker. You can’t bullshit a union member, right? Union workers know the real and understand who is for them. When bullshit is in front of them, they’re able to identify what it is and see through that.

That’s what I would really implore my brothers, sisters, and siblings across the labor movement: don’t be snowed by the bullshit. Pay attention, do your research on what Trump has done for workers versus what the Biden-Harris Administration has done for workers, and you will find there’s a huge gap. The Biden-Harris Administration has gone leaps and bounds—not just now but into the future—to secure a foundation for American working families and workers to propel into economic prosperity.

What Trump has done is not that. He has told us from his own mouth that he doesn’t want us to be organized. He doesn’t support the right of workers to join unions. He does not support the right of workers to earn overtime or that extra bit of income to have more money in your paychecks to do the things you need to do for your family to survive. He has told you he does not support your retirement. He never supported the Butch Lewis Act. Over a million workers would still be facing a crisis and not being able to access their earned retirement if we still had a Trump administration.

There are record numbers of people accessing health care because the Biden-Harris Administration has spent the time to get folks enrolled in the ACA to be able to access health care. These are gains, brothers, sisters, and siblings, that would not have happened under a Trump administration. These are gains that matter to your pocketbooks, gains that matter to your kitchen table because you need food on that table to survive. These are gains that matter to your kids’ future because they need jobs. Not everybody’s going to college. They need good union jobs to help them survive and earn a respectable living into the future.

That does not come with that man who does not believe in us. We believe in us as working people. So pay attention, don’t be snowed by the bullshit. We know better.

[United Steelworkers Union @steelworkers]

Workers need elected officials who will fight for us and our priorities. In this race, the choice is clear: when it comes to retirement security, affordable healthcare, workers’ rights and more, only @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz have the values and vision to deliver.

[Letter Carriers @NALC_National]

Thank you to @steelworkers Vice President at Large Roxanne Brown for addressing our delegates today. There is POWER in a union and we're proud to be in this movement with you.

[AAM @KeepitMadeinUSA]

President Biden is being introduced by @Brownrox of the @steelworkers, pictured here just before today's event with @ScottPaulAAM. Brown says the president "has confronted unfair trade" by using both trade tools and investing in American factories.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

I was honored to be at the @WhiteHouse today as @POTUS announced steps to protect American workers from China’s unfair trade practices, and to hear from @Brownrox, VP of @steelworkers and Jesse Gary, head of Century Aluminum Company on good American union jobs.
