Organizing in the Hudson Valley. Fighting Amazon with SWF1United

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

More than 300 warehouse workers at Genesis Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary of DHL, have chosen overwhelmingly to become members of Teamsters Local 639. The newly organized warehouse workers join drivers at the same facility in Stafford, Va., who voted to join the Teamsters in April.

Genesis Logistics distributes pre-packaged food and other products for 7-Eleven. The company’s distribution center in Stafford supplies convenience stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. With the entire operation now organized, workers are united and prepared to push aggressively for a first Teamsters contract.

A US Military plane brought President Maduro to Stewart Airport today, while our members held the line outside to make it clear: this war will hurt working people across the globe.

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

Trump’s bombing of Caracas is happening for one reason: to enrich the billionaire class. The same class he serves when he guts workers' rights and throws millions off of healthcare.

He's pursuing regime change because Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves, pure and simple.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.

Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.

This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

Shoutout to the NYC private nurses who delivered strike notices to management today!

Nurses don't want to strike, but are ready if management refuses to negotiate a fair contract that protects patient care.

[NYSNA @nynurses]

BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

The Haitian Revolution was the birth of black freedom in the Americas. In 1801, my people stood up for democracy, humanity, & independence. Today, as we enter a new era in NYC, I eat soup joumou in Little Haiti to commemorate our struggle for freedom. L’union fait la force!

The work is not done, it has just begun - and it starts by taxing the rich to fund childcare. We're making our voices heard from City Hall all the way to the state capital to win what NYers need.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Hundreds of SEPTA and CPKC Soo Line workers represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) of the Teamsters Rail Conference have voted to ratify two new collective bargaining agreements.

On the CPKC Soo Line, 300 locomotive engineers will earn compounded raises of 18.8 percent over the length of the five-year agreement in addition to strong improvements to work rules.

At SEPTA, 300 workers voted to ratify a short-term contract to raise wages by 5 percent over the next year. This follows months of fierce, coordinated advocacy from the Teamsters Rail Conference to stave off substantial budget shortfalls at the Pennsylvania-based transit authority.

Happy Mayor Mamdani Day to those who are celebrating. Will miss you in the Assembly, @ZohranKMamdani!

UPS is Teamsters. Amazon isn’t. That's why.

[Teamsters Local 804 @804_local]

Why won’t these greedy sadistic employers learn?

Trump Village section 4 thinks they can refuse to bargain with Teamsters. Igor, the general manager thinks he can Illegally fire workers days before Christmas and union busters @seyfarthshawLLP will protect them.

SHAME!!

Hundreds of new baristas petition to join the union as thousands continue to hold the strike line.

When the New York Power Authority was created in 1931, it immediately lowered electricity rates—today, NYPA remains our most effective tool for affordable & renewable energy. My bill with @SenGianaris to move NYPA in that direction has been signed into law by @GovKathyHochul.
