At today’s Power in Unity panel, David Galvan from @IBEW nailed it: Unions empower generations to harness their collective strength, demand fair pay, and secure the workplace safety they deserve. That’s the power of solidarity. #MLK2025

[ThatHelpfulUnionGuy @davidgalvan304]

@LizShuler @IBEW Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful event. This was an amazing experience and so inspirational.

[ThatHelpfulUnionGuy @davidgalvan304]

Congratulations to the 3 work groups that voted overwhelmingly to have IBEW representation over the last month.

We need to get away from the idea that every kid has to go to college. Normalize treating trade school as important as a 4-year degree.

The union difference 😉

@manspeaker Is it time to build the fence?

[ThatHelpfulUnionGuy @davidgalvan304]

@ethancorson Can't thank you enough for everything you did for the workers this session!

@politico @SecGranholm It's not just coal mining. Thousands of workers in coal fired power generation are scared for their livelihoods as well.

Rep. Rui Xu just asked any of the proponents of HB 2354 that if this legislation is to bring Kansas in line with a SCOTUS decision, do any of them support bringing us in line with the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage.

[ThatHelpfulUnionGuy @davidgalvan304]

Kansas is already a right to work (for less) state. Why are we dealing with the Janus thing again?

Let me congratulate the workers at Amazon for having the incredible courage to stand up and to fight for a union. The fight you are waging will send a message to workers all across the country that if they stand up, stand together, and fight, they can win.

I know it's tempting to lash out, but try to treat Rush Limbaugh with the same dignity, respect, and humanity as he showed to rape victims, Michael J. Fox, Sandra Fluke, Iraq War veterans, refugees, and the victims of mosque shootings.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

We just got confirmation of what @BAmazonUnion organizers have been telling me for weeks now—Amazon *got the traffic lights outside their warehouse changed* to force traffic through more quickly (thereby depriving organizers of the opportunity to chat w workers about the union)

[ThatHelpfulUnionGuy @davidgalvan304]

Me: Dirty anti-union tricks from employers don't surprise me anymore.

Amazon: Hold my beer...

Pretty sure I just heard a Senator say that the legislature needs more control on the Governor's apppointments. Don't you comfirm those appointments?
