Fighting for working heroes

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

"I heard from workers who were affected by the record high temperatures in Arizona and told them that we were proposing the first nationwide standard to protect workers from the hazards of heat. The day of that discussion, the temperature approached 110 degrees, and it was not unique. Last year was the hottest summer on record and in Phoenix, there was a record 113 consecutive days with temperatures at or above 100 degrees. For workers, heat is not just uncomfortable or inconvenient; it can be deadly."

Last year, while NJ legislators went on recess, 49-year-old Richard Quishpe died pouring concrete in the heat.

No shade. No water. No protections.

Contact your representative TODAY. It’s time to protect workers NOW! https://t.co/ViqpdmPYUu

Remember, NJ has a heat standard for DOGS, but not for people! That's ridiculous, and it needs to change.

Today, the Supreme Court hears CASA v. Trump, a case that could reshape the meaning of citizenship in America.
We are at SCOTUS to defend the 14th Amendment and reject the politics of exclusion. This is about equality, identity, and the Constitution itself.

Today is our union's 138th birthday!

Throughout our history, we've provided security for millions of working families & organized every day to ensure the opportunities of our skilled trades benefit as many people as possible.

We’re outside Delany Hall in Newark to oppose the expansion of immigration detention infrastructure in New Jersey.

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

@CAIRNJ @CATAMigrantes @IronboundCC Newark stands with immigrants!

Powerful words from @CityofNewarkNJ mayor @rasjbaraka on his opposition to the opening of Delaney Hall.

“They want to terrorize & divide, but not in our New Jersey. We stand together for justice, dignity & families.”

🚨@RepJoshG listen to your constituents & protect NJ immigrant families. Vote NO on HR 29/ S5!

“It’s going to be up to NJ to protect its workers,” said Garrett O’Connor, director of worker organizing & policy @MaketheRoadNJ

Existing federal protections are not enough to protect workers’ lives. @SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin pass S3884/A5022 NOW!

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

New Jersey workers braced the record-breaking heat WITHOUT protections.

NOW, politics are getting in the way.

Call @SenPresScutari (201-576-9199) & Senate Labor Chair @JoeLaganaNJ (732-827-7480) & tell them to put S3884 on the agenda for Thursday!

[The Real News @TheRealNews]

From plans to wreck the NLRB to the impending assault on immigrants, Trump will undermine unions from all sides. @maximillian_alv speaks about the oncoming attacks on organized labor with Jimmy Williams, general president of the @GoIUPAT.

[ACLU of New Jersey @ACLUNJ]

BREAKING: New documents obtained by @ACLU reveal ICE is actively working to expand immigration detention across NJ, paving the way for the Trump admin to conduct mass detention & deportation.

This is unacceptable.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Our union is proud to support the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed rule to protect workers from heat-related illnesses and death. Governor Ron DeSantis can’t seem to understand what a no-brainer this kind of law is, despite having graduated from both Yale and Harvard – possibly because he’s never done a hard day’s work in his life.

👷🏾‍♂️Workers of color & immigrants are disproportionately affected by extreme heat conditions.

“We contribute significantly to the economy, yet we’re left unprotected & undervalued,” said Elder, a construction worker.

@SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin pass the NJ Heat Standard NOW!

[UNITE HERE @unitehere]

This afternoon, @unitehere100 members who drive trucks for airline subcontractor Gate Gourmet at EWR Airport with Assemblywoman @AnnetteQuijano, @MaketheRoadNJ , and other allies for a press conference in support of the New Jersey Heat Standard A-3521/S-2422.

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

🧵Biden’s proposed OSHA heat standard is welcome news.

But in reality, it’ll be years until a rule goes into effect. Political & legal challenges could block any progress at the fed level.

@njgov must lead by passing a heat standard now. #HeatKills/1

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

🚨Listen to workers! With record temps, heat-related hospitalizations in @NJGov have gone up by 1,200% 😱

@SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin NJ workers deserve protections as they pick crops, load trucks & build our cities under scorching temperatures this summer.

[Make the Road New Jersey 🦋 @MaketheRoadNJ]

🌡️🥵Record-breaking #ExtremeHeat wave is hitting @njgov hard, putting warehouse, farm & construction workers' lives at risk.

@SpeakerCoughlin @SenPresScutari workers need protections. Pass the NJ Heat Standard bill NOW!

🚨BIG: essential workers challenge biz lobbyists @NJBIA to an outdoor debate on the heat standard WITHOUT any water or shade.

It’s going to be 90 degrees next week. Workers will be suffering without basic protections.

What do you say @NJBIA? Name place and time.
