Congratulations to the workers!!! Incredible victory tonight over one of the most notoriously anti-union corporations in the world. When we fight, we win. ✊🏾 @UFCW@UFCWLocal1776
Right now, @SEPTA helps nearly 800,000 people (my constituents, my loved ones, and me included) get where we need to go—every day. PA’s lack of transit funding has triggered a looming crisis. Our government needs to meet the urgent funding needs and create a secure future.
One year ago, Hamas militants murdered more than 1,200 people in Israel and took hundreds captive. The war that has followed has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and more throughout the region. We recommit to bringing all hostages home, and we call for a lasting peace.
THAT'S RIGHT- The residents and fellows at @PennMedicine just made history by becoming the first doctors in Pennsylvania to reach a TA on a union contract!
Because when we fight together, YOU BETTER BELIEVE WE WIN! 💪💜

The Sixers have spent years trying to convince us to put an arena on 10th and Market, even if it means the destruction of Chinatown. The Chinatown community has been on the front lines time and again. Our city needs to rise up and support them.
I am proud to oppose the 76ers arena proposal in Center City, which poses an existential threat to Chinatown.
No matter how the billionaire owners of the 76ers try to lobby, threaten and bully, working families have a right to stay in their homes.
WE WON! This week, over 2000 Penn grad workers cast ballots. After eligible votes were tallied, the final count was 1807 to 97. It's official. The majority of eligible voters turned out to the polls. Penn graduate workers have resoundingly declared: WE WANT A UNION AT PENN!
WE HAVE A CONTRACT!!! #UArtsUnion Faculty at @UArts have voted with an overwhelming 99% YES vote to ratify our first union contract! An astounding 89% of union members participated in the vote, with over 230 union members voting.
Today I joined colleagues in Pennsylvania's State House and Senate in grieving the loss of thousands of Israeli and Palestinian lives and urging our Congressional Delegation to support a ceasefire. Grateful to @RepSummerLee and @RepMGS for their early support.
Proud to join @uaw / @UAWregion9 workers in Langhorne with @RickforPhilly. We stand with autoworkers fighting for what they deserve—and against corporate greed.
Big news: a strong majority of Penn graduate student workers have signed union authorization cards!
We're rallying next Wednesday, October 4 at 12pm to ask that Penn admin stay neutral and agree to a fair and efficient union election process. Join us!
“It felt disrespectful, disheartening, disappointing,” said Coleman, who’s worked for the district since 2015. “The kitchens are already short-staffed. It’s a lot on the workers.”

UPS @Teamsters and members of our @623Local are getting ready for what could be the largest strike at a single employer in our country’s history. Let’s stand with them and show that no matter what happens, we have their backs. See you there! #PhillyIsAUnionTown
Why billionaires and right-wing extremists want to wreck public education - the person behind the anti @HelenGymPHL campaign is a billionaire who attacks public Ed https://t.co/79cAQGOUp7
Helen walks the walk- she has fought for the public schools kids deserve, fought for a better Philly, and as Mayor would be in the position to make it happen… @HelenGymPHL for Mayor. https://t.co/onq7L8zaJ9 via @YouTube
