This election, I’m voting for candidates that will ensure ALL people – Black, brown, Asian, and white – have the right to join together in unions. Check today to make sure you’re registered to vote at https://t.co/tg6cx6niv1 then share this image. https://t.co/tg6cx6niv1
Amazon just fired one of the leaders of today’s #AmazonStrike on Staten Island.
SHAME on @Amazon, a heartless firing of a worker who spoke up about safety precautions after several Covid-19 cases in the warehouse.
See his statement below:
@DeegoDarkwulf @tony_lastra@BernieSanders@Teamsters I used to feel the same way. But a motivated membership has far bigger teeth when they're backed by everything their union does for them.
@tony_lastra@BernieSanders@Teamsters I used to feel the same way about my union. It took me yrs to fully understand a union's limitations when members are insufficiently involved. After becoming strike captain, steward, bargaining team member & now chapter VP now I know the only power we have lies w the membership.
Unions like @Teamsters know what's at stake.
As president, I will double union membership nationwide, end "right-to-work" laws by repealing section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, and impose a moratorium on multi-employer pension cuts.
I will be your Organizer-In-Chief.
RIP to another Union Brother who was the bystander killed in the Florida shooting. Richard Cutshaw was the field representative for GSAF / OPEIU Local 100, a union that represents over 6,000 employees across South Florida. @OPEIU@AFLCIO#Solidarity@Teamsters
