Committee on Political Education
Coalition of TWU Locals in the State of Florida to educate and promote labor friendly legislation and candidates for office.
Twu Colorado/Hawaii State Conference volunteering today at Bella Boutique. They provide Prom dresses to teens that can’t afford to get one. We were able to help them select dresses and accessories for their upcoming prom.
The disparate treatment of @transportworker NYC Transit Workers @MTA Vs @MetroNorth@LIRR commuter rails is grossly inequitable. Inner city transit workers deserve the same right to strike as their suburban counterparts. The same work should = the same treatment. What gives?
Let us be clear- This hostile takeover is not good for the TWU’s IFCs @JetBlue or our Guest Service Agents @SpiritAirlines , or the flying public, period. Our job is to defend TWU members and @transportworker is working hard to ensure that this acquisition is dead on arrival .
The TWU celebrates #BlackHistoryMonth by recognizing our very own brother, mentor & friend John Bland. Mr. Bland was a fierce negotiator and civil rights activist who helped end segregation in Houston by leading the city’s first sit-in at Weingarten’s grocery store lunch counter
@JetBlue is extremely anti-union. They threaten union organizers, intimidate workers, violate @transportworker’s contract, all while posing as a benevolent employer. The Justice Department should not reward JetBlue the Union Buster . A JetBlue twice as big will be twice as bad.
On behalf of the .@transportworker .@twulocal570, we thank you, Mr. Hector Bravo, and Mr. Emmanuel Petrakis, for your heroic effort to save the life of Michael Tolfa, an American Eagle Aircraft Mechanic and retired USMC Sergeant, by performing CPR.
Your brave and selfless actions serve as a reminder of the importance of looking out for one another and coming together in times of need. Your courage and dedication to your fellow Union Brother is an example that will long be remembered. #1u
.@SouthwestAir calls themselves the LUV airline, but they are far from that. The TWU International stands with @TWU556 flight attendants as they fight for a fair contract. @TwuSamuelsen
This isn’t a merger, it’s a hostile acquisition of a competitor airline and it has the strong potential to disrupt airline workers and consumers . @JetBlue’s lust for greater airline consolidation isn’t about improving workers’ lives or delivering a better flying experience…..👍
