Great piece from @kalenasthom & our friends at @capitalandmain about a battery plant in Pittsburgh that has received Inflation Reduction Act loan guarantees & subsidies, yet fired union organizers a few weeks ago. A cautionary tale on the green jobs front.

Scab (noun): A person who refuses to join a strike, crosses a picket line, or takes the place of striking workers, often undermining collective bargaining efforts and weakening the union’s position. Seen as betraying solidarity among workers.
“The proposed cuts to Amtrak, the Railroad Retirement Board and transit investments are a slap in the face to blue-collar TWU workers. The TWU strongly opposes cuts that would undermine labor standards for railroads and transit agencies.” @TwuSamuelsen https://t.co/HVL3q4XXNj
Must read op-ed from @MMitaynes & @uprose@yeampierre puts pressure on lawmakers to pass #GreenTransitGreenJobs this session.
"Investing in zero-emission bus fleets is not just a necessary step but a wise investment in our future and communities." 👏👏👏

"Kawasaki’s actions fly in the face of New York’s pay transparency policy. New Yorkers' tax dollars shouldn't be used to screw workers and if Kawasaki is actually competitive in the labor market, releasing pay data should be a no-brainer.” @twusamuelsen https://t.co/G7OG2lRVf2
The New York state government and its vendor Kawasaki Rail Car are fighting to prevent the release of records about the company’s pay and benefits. https://t.co/1ht8cStbXD
UAW supports the transition to EVs but it has to be a fair and just transition for our members and communities. The Green Transit, and Green Jobs bills S06089 & A06414 do just that- so let’s pass the bill in this year’s budget!
