All workers deserve a #union, from your local fire fighters to your neighborhood @Starbucks baristas. Want to protect your rights on the job? "Join a union." Any CEO or company standing in the way of working people organizing needs to answer for those union-busting actions.

If we want gear that’s made without PFAS,we must hit the manufacturers where it hurts them the most, their wallets. Until then, the fire service needs to do everything possible to avoid exposure to the deadly chemical. ⁦⁦@IAFFofficial⁩ ⁦@PFFPNC https://t.co/TCs5iDPPQh

One of my proudest moments at the legislature was the passage of expanded cancer coverage for NCs firefighters.
Firefighters risk their lives and long-term health for our communities. Now, firefighters have extra security if they find themselves in a serious health crisis #ncpol
