It melted my labor mama heart to have my sons and nephews out rallying to #PassThePROAct! They’re the future and they deserve the best in a job and career.

[Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO @WAAFLCIO]

Today, @lebrown1one and union supporters rallied outside @SenatorCantwell’s Tacoma office to thank her for co-sponsoring the #ProAct and urge her to keep fighting for its passage! #PassTheProAct @AFLCIO

I love this ⁦@EricaGroshen⁩ interview. Especially her reframing of a “skill shortage” problem as a skill information problem. In so many ways we’re getting the “skill shortage” all wrong and workers suffer. #skills #workforcedevelopment #workforce https://t.co/CJ94rXvfDo

The @WAAFLCIO is going to have a virtual booth at the #WinWithSharedWork2021 conference next week. Keeping workers working is at the center of the Shared Work program. Hope you’ll join us at this @ESDwaWorks conference to learn more. It’s June 8-9. https://t.co/bdRUzMYv4u

It’s an honor to be back at the @WAAFLCIO, helping workers during really hard times. And advocating for a workforce dev system that doesn’t just fill jobs, but builds rewarding careers. #workforcedevelopment #careerdevelopment #1u

I started reading this article to better understand the science and ended it as awestruck by all the workers that make the vaccine possible every day. They're amazing. https://t.co/Gh1WOmfjK3

@thepuyalluppost @ElizaMyers19 Congrats, Sylvia!

[Chelsea Mason-Placek @CMasonPlacek]

@SRuhle It was a crossroad I never thought I’d be at. I left my job and am very grateful I had enough of an economic safety net to do so. My heart totally breaks for the moms that don’t.

[Chelsea Mason-Placek @CMasonPlacek]

@SRuhle Thanks for inquiring. “Had to” is still a hard concept to own but I did feel like my choice was to keep my high-level, high-paying job that didn’t allow me to work remotely - and watch my teen/pre-teen kids struggle in school from afar - or leave my job to help them.

[Chelsea Mason-Placek @CMasonPlacek]

This should be such a public policy no-brainer. We should #buyamerica and invest in our workforce while we make desperately needed investments in our infrastructure. Thanks @KeepitMadeinUSA for your advocacy! https://t.co/oPpz49CMAX

[Chelsea Mason-Placek @CMasonPlacek]

@PenLightCo I heard that too and wondered!

[Chelsea Mason-Placek @CMasonPlacek]

Hi @PenLightCo - we’re loving cooking by stove top but any ideas why the power is out on Herron Island?

I can't get over how long the list of @MachinistsUnion plant closures is under the Trump Administration. It's heartbreaking.
