Central Maine Medical Nurses in Lewiston win their union election 204-21! Eat that Prime!!!!

[Andy O'Brien @aobrien2010]

That’s a funny way of saying LePage robbed state employee pensions to give a nice tax cut to his rich cronies.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Central Maine Medical Center illegally fired these courageous nurses for exercising their legal right to unionize & advocate for patient safety!

Call CMMC CEO Allen Stefanek at 714-403-3260 or 207-330-7257 & tell him to stop his illegal union busting! @CentralMaineRNs

Let’s get out this election season and elect candidates like @TroyJackson207 who will fight for all working people and help create an economy that works for all of us, not just the billionaires and greedy CEOs. ✊

[Mattie Daughtry @MattieforMaine]

Central Maine Medical Center and Prime Healthcare have once again proven that in this country, profit always takes priority over the safety of patients and workers. 15 nurses have now reportedly been illegally fired from CMMC.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

First the billionaires stole our healthcare & now their Susan Collins door knockers are stealing our packages. #mepolitics

Union busting is disgusting. 🤮 Shame on you Prime Health!

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

My response to Prime's union-busting tactics at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. The company has suspended several nurses for standing up and demanding patients and nurses are put before profits.

Prime must immediately reinstate the nurses and give them a free and fair chance to vote on their union. Solidarity forever. ✊

We are proud that Brother Troy Jackson has adopted our Contract for Maine's Working Class developed from surveys with thousands of Maine workers!

Folks… what this campaign is about is pretty simple.

If you work hard, you ought to be able to take your kid to the doctor.

You oughta be able to buy groceries without doing math in the damn aisle.

You oughta be able to retire with the Social Security and Medicare you paid into.

And you oughta be able to keep more of what you earn.

Billionaires shouldn't be paying less in taxes than a teacher or a logger.

It's time your hard work pays off.

A union if you want one.

A secure retirement.

And a government that answers to you instead of billionaires and corporations.

That's my pledge to working Mainers.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

If he had shown himself we could have educated him on the value of joining a union. Leonard Leo clearly isn’t paying him enough to go undercover among the scary union members.

[The Maine Wire @TheMaineWire]

Union rep at the Troy Jackson event in Brewer gloats that the Maine Wire was not in attendance:

"I noticed that the Maine Liar wasn't here, so it was really nice... It's now the Maine Crier."

Well, unfortunately for Mr. Union Guy, a Maine Wire reporter was there the whole time 😎

[Brian Bryant @IAMBrianBryant]

Labor Day is OUR Day!

Today we celebrate thanks to workers who organized, stood together and fought for better.

Proud to be here in my home state of Maine with union members and two champions for workers — @LizShuler and our next U.S. Senator from Maine, @TroyJackson207.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Troy is the candidate for Maine’s working class. Pure & simple.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

Senator Collins has completely lost touch with what’s going on in Maine.

We’re both from Aroostook County, but the similarities end right there.

When working people come together, we’re not powerless. We’ve got a real shot to change who has the power in this country.

Let’s go win.

Maine needs candidates who will reverse the decline of organized labor

Since 2000, Senator Susan Collins has voted to cut $2 trillion in taxes for the top 1%. Is it any wonder Elon Musk and private equity billionaires are repaying the favor this election?

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

On Aug 26, the AP reported that gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles said he would call on White House border czar Tom Homan to deploy ICE agents at Maine polling locations ahead of November's elections. Maine AFL-CIO President Cynthia Phinney released the following statement:

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Solidarity: It’s not just a word. Let’s go Brother Troy!

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

📍 Gorham — Thursday, Sept. 3

Come out, bring a friend, and let’s build the kind of movement that can win this race — and change what’s possible for working people.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Terrible idea! We should not be sending Maine union shipbuilding jobs overseas! This is bad for Maine workers and national security. https://t.co/UGbZdin4kp

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

30 years is long enough. Time for a new Senator who will stand up for working-class Mainers, not out-of-state billionaires!

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Susan Collins voted to:

🚩 Eliminate health care coverage for Mainers while giving the tax cut to Elon Musk
🚩 Slash funding for rural hospitals
🚩 Supercharge ICE with no guardrails
🚩 Raise health insurance rates for self-employed Mainers
