[Richard Trumka @RichardTrumka]

19 years ago today, Americans confronted evil with courage, grace and solidarity. As we reflect nearly two decades later, we send love to all those families who mourn every day for the more than 3,000 lives lost, many who were union members. #September11

A $13,494 fine for 4 deaths and nearly 1,300 coronavirus infections. Way too little, way too late. @OSHA_DOL must do better. 190,000 deaths and still no infectious disease standard to protect workers. Working families deserve more.

On #LaborDay, we carve out time to recognize the achievements of working people. As some of us gear up for a 3-day weekend, unions are hosting events online and in-person to continue the fight for workers' rights.

I'm at Sam's Club

Older couple in 70's checking out

Cashier asks if they found everything they needed

Lady said no - needed bread

Young man in 20's heard this and says " Ma'am, I have a loaf you can have, and if you see anything in my cart, you're welcome to it"

Government workers have not gotten clear guidance on telework. And, "essential employees” who are expected to work haven’t been given information about the kinds of protective equipment they’ll be given. #COVID19 #1u

A change in the collective bargaining policy at DoD would be a disgrace to the sacred oath and obligation that all federal workers make to our country. #1u https://t.co/a1YKAYgz3j
