Najah, Molly, Galia, Anna, and Irene from Adult Social Services are voting YES for workers’ rights and protections on June 9th and 10th. They won’t let Right to Work tear down all that we’ve fought for. Union strong! Union YES! @phillydefenderstaffunion #philly @AFSCME

🔥🔥 @reptarikkhan: “They voted 82% to form a union.

They negotiated their first contract.

They ratified it just weeks ago.

Now a national anti-union group is trying to break up that union.

Something’s not right about that.”
