Forces bigger than ourselves have compelled us to start tweeting. Stay tuned...

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

The Army Corps of Engineers was created in 1775, so it’s been building infrastructure to protect us for longer than we’ve been a nation. And they’ve got a long & deep history in NYC, including critical work after 9/11.

Today, these civil servants (who work at 26 Federal Plaza, so I see them a lot!) are the experts we rely on for flood protection, resiliency & critical infrastructure projects. But the Trump administration is trying to send them across the river to New Jersey — knowing that many workers will quit, so they can shrink the agency & reduce climate protections.

So this week I proudly joined the mighty members of @ifpte98 to make clear that we want to keep @USACE_NY in NYC — so they can keep working to improve safety & resilience for all of us.

Today we were proud to join @ifpte98, @NYCCouncil @SpeakerMenin, elected officials, labor leaders, and community allies to rally to defend women in the federal workforce and keep the @USACE_NY in NYC.

Newsday has shone a spotlight on the office move that could jeopardize hundreds of jobs and billions of dollars in projects. https://t.co/Hq2BRhiTSo

After outreach by IFPTE Local 98 Members with the help of IFPTE International folks, we have brought the ill-advised plans to move USACE NAN and NAD Headquarters out of New York City to the press.

@_TomOKeefe_ @boiseTJK Looking for academic labor readings specifically? In the labor movement more generally (including in higher ed if that’s what you’re looking for) the Jane McAlevey school is ascendant for good reason. And all of her books are worth reading.

[IFPTE Local 98 @ifpte98]

@JonahFurman Totally. Take a look at the federal contracts for the border patrol. TONS of official time and none of the other restrictions from Trumps executive orders.

All eyes on the schools! Stand strong @UFT!

The DOE and City Hall promised safe and clean schools. But staff have returned to unsanitary conditions and broken promises.
