Unruly passengers have been allowed to intimidate, harass & abuse airport & airline workers w/out serious consequences. TWU flight attendants are at Denver Intl Airport today raising awareness & calling for passage of the Protection from Abusive Passengers Act. #AssaultWontFly
The TWU stands lockstep with our sisters & brothers at @UAW as they fight for a fair shake amid unbridled corporate greed. UAW strike actions will be felt across our economy & should act as a wakeup call to bosses that workers are fed up & we’re ready to fight back.
Voters understand that this isn’t just about one industry — this is about all of us — and unions need to have a seat at the table to take on the existential threat AI poses to our livelihoods and economy. https://t.co/wM83xA1DF7
The TWU is proud to stand with our sisters and brothers of @SAGAFTRA as they take on unbridled corporate greed and fight for the rights of workers amid unregulated job-killing technology.
The TWU celebrates the diversity of our membership. We will always defend the right of our members and all working people to observe their freely chosen spiritual beliefs. We wish our members a blessed season.
