Union ballots for the dispatch group at @JetBlue go out today. JetBlue leadership has ramped up its fear-mongering tactics to push for "another chance." Leave them alone, CEO Geraghty. These professionals are ready to vote YES for @transportworker@TwuSamuelsen
Please be advised: The TWU has made sufficient progress and therefore will not be conducting strike action against SEPTA tonight or tomorrow. @twusamuelsen
TWU Local 234 and TWU International @twusamuelsen in Philly drawing up strike action plans. Incompetent @SEPTA’s unrelenting attacks on our health benefits and pensions will soon result in the TWU shutting down the 4th largest transit system in America.
Fightback in Akron. TWU International and Local 1 have had enough with METRO’s terrible working conditions and lack of respect for Bus Operators. The TWU is out in force and giving commuters flyers this a.m. at the Robert P. Pfaff Transit Center. Enough is Enough! @TwuSamuelsen
If the goal is a gold-standard subway system in which riders commute with the highest level of safety, where the term “customers” honestly applies, then this bill should become law. Riders would welcome such common sense legislation. @TwuSamuelsen
Last week, @JetBlue Air Dispatchers filed for a vote to form a union & join the TWU. JetBlue management responded with their customary anti-union rhetoric. The TWU will fight for Dispatchers nationwide! JetBlue’s anti-worker tactics will fail.
.@NYCMayor is total betraying @TWULocal100 blue collar carraige drivers. He knows full well the horses aren’t mistreated . He’s has sold his soul to the highest bidder . @nyclass is deeply connected to Manhattan real estate and its all about development of the Westside stables.
Eric you’re so full of shite it’s coming out your ears . You’re a straight up Judas Iscariot , sold your soul to Manhattan real estate developers . You’re not driving change , you’re a corrupt desperate backstabber. You just proved that 💰 💰is indeed the root of all evil .
.@NYCMayor sold his soul to real estate developers. His commitment of support for the carriage drivers was based upon his knowledge that the horses are humanely treated. Chasing💰is his weakness & in the end he chose Manhattan billionaires over blue-collar workers. Desperation.
TWU strongly opposes @UnionPacific-@nscorp merger. “Union Pacific has a shameful safety record and was caught by the federal government trying to meddle in a safety audit. There is no world where Union Pacific should be controlling a coast-to-coast rail network." @TwuSamuelsen
TWU at the controls. TWU International Pres. Samuelsen, Administrative VP Curtis Tate and Sec. Treasurer Jerome Lafragola on a San Francisco cable car controlled by a Local 250A Grip Person. @TwuSamuelsen @TWU250A
Bikeshare workers in San Francisco roll with The TWU of America. @twulocal320 members operate and maintain Bay Wheels, an integral part of the multimodal transportation system. @TwuSamuelsen
The TWU Cabin Crew Coalition met in Dallas this week to discuss critical issues facing Flight Attendants and begin crafting a Flight Attendant bill of rights. Locals @TWU556 , @Twu577FA, 578 and @TWULocal579 critically keep the flying public safe every day!
.@TwuSamuelsen speaks to @nytimes about dangerous autonomous trucks on the road. “It’s potentially disastrous from a safety perspective.” A recent @AAA_Travel survey backs the TWU’s position, showing the traveling public is worried about the safety of AVs

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨TWU Local 570 is proud to endorse @JustinBrannan for NYC Comptroller! Justin has always stood with working families; we know he'll lead with integrity and accountability. Let’s elect a Comptroller who fights for us.🗳️💪 .@CentralLaborNYC@transportworker
“The TWU wholeheartedly backs @Teamsters@BLET NJ Transit locomotive engineers as they fight for a better contract. Our members will not cross any picket lines for their own safety as engineers exercise their right to strike for better wages and benefits." @TwuSamuelsen
Pennsylvania State Rep. @MalcolmKenyatta from #NorthPhilly has a blunt message to state Republicans who have not supported transit funding.
“Funding public transit is not a F-ing gift to us! It’s the right thing to do!” Get it done! @TwuSamuelsen @tomfitzgerald
“@Delta is definitely the economic employer. The contract negotiation might not be against Delta, but the contract fight will be with Delta." @TwuSamuelsen
Today, along with a group of my colleagues (@RepMikeLawler, @RepDonBacon, @RepMikeTurner, @RepLaLota, @RepGarbarino, @RepBresnahan, & Rep. Chris Smith), I called on President Trump to reconsider his Executive Order regarding collective bargaining rights of unionized federal workers.
We support efforts to improve government efficiency—but applying sweeping national security exemptions to agencies like SSA, FCC, GSA, and HHS risks doing more harm than good. These agencies are vital to public service. Undermining collective bargaining in these spaces weakens morale, accountability, and performance.
That’s why, alongside this letter, I introduced the Protect America’s Workforce Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill restores a responsible, targeted approach—preserving bargaining rights and reinforcing the role that the worker’s voice plays in strengthening government.
We don’t have to choose between security and fairness. We can—and must—protect both.
