Rodney: Unions are about freedom, fairness, and security. I’m an ironworker apprentice instructor. You’ve got the freedom to travel if you want. You’ve got the freedom to take time off if you need to. They’re fair with wages across the board—that’s number one. Wages and benefits are going to exceed what you get in a non-union job.
Like I said, I can travel anywhere in the country and get a job tomorrow. I can get online, check the job line, and call any local. If they’ve got work, they’ll put me on it.
We are urging Congress to pass the #InflationReductionAct in order to:
▪️lower costs for working Americans
▪️raise economic growth
▪️build a cleaner future
Today, and every day, we support women and workers everywhere earning what is right, fair, and decent for the work they put in. #EqualPayDay#Ironworkers#1u#UnionStrong
I've seen firsthand how apprenticeships and other job training programs can expand opportunities for workers.
How has job training supported your career?
UPDATE: A U.S. official says that at least 3 U.S. military service members have been injured in today’s attack at the Abbey Gate, @ABC reports
The official did not know the extent of the injuries. https://t.co/xtXoVr2Bwk
Update:
In the last 24 hours, 28 U.S. military flights evacuated approximately 10,400 people from Kabul. 61 coalition aircrafts evacuated approximately 5,900 people.
Since 8/14 the U.S. has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 37,000 people.
And it's official. The FDA has granted full approval to Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine, according to a source familiar, making it the first one in a lengthy process to get approval from federal regulators. Huge news.
Why is the #PROAct the most important labor law in seven decades?
It ends “right-to-work,” gives gig workers the right to unionize, and makes scores of veterans eligible to join a union, for the first time.
This isn’t hard. Protect veterans. Empower Americans. Pass the #PROAct
.@BAmazonUnion, y'all are in the trenches fighting to have a say in your economic future. There is nothing more patriotic than fighting for the right to organize. No matter what happens this week, you've shown Americans everywhere how powerful we are when we stand together. #1u
A reporter just asked @POTUS what he talked to Putin about. His response: “You. He sends his best.” with a smile as he put his mask back on. 🙃😷
This is the President we need America 🇺🇸
So the fine folks at https://t.co/NJ4ICb1n5e have asked me to do an AMA about QAnon and since I do love talking about QAnon I will be answering questions starting at 6:00 PM EST on 2/1/21.
Joe Biden, while swearing in political appointees, says, "If you're ever working with me and I hear you treated another colleague with disrespect — talk down to someone — I promise I will fire you on the spot. On the spot...Everybody is entitled to be treated with decency."
