@SEIULocal1 @DNC @geniekastrup Did SEIU members vote on this deal? What other unions participated in this deal? What in writing did workers get in exchange for promising not to strike the Democraric Party?

@Brandon4Chicago Public transit workers and passengers need to lead public transit, not managers appointed by politicians. Join the fight: https://t.co/PHD6OTQogi
