Happy Pride from America’s unions! We’re wishing the LGBTQIA+ community a joyful and safe Pride Month.

Unions are for everyone, and the labor movement will keep fighting to make sure everyone can be their true selves, on and off the job 🏳️‍🌈✊

After over a year of uncertainty for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family, the unjust criminal charges against our @smartunionworks brother have been dropped!

We applaud this win for due process. We’ll keep fighting against attacks on our union family and their rights.

[SMART Union @smartunionworks]

“We will continue to stand for Kilmar’s rights and for every person’s right to due process, because that is what makes this country great.”

[SMART Union @smartunionworks]

A federal judge dismissed the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, “ruling that the Trump administration had brought human trafficking charges against him as part of a vindictive effort to punish him for challenging his wrongful deportation to El Salvador last year.” (NYT)

[SMART Union @smartunionworks]

“He must be given his day in court. In Nashville, Kilmar was given his day in court, and on Friday, we saw just how important that is — for Kilmar, for his family and for the principles of justice that we all rely on.

On Memorial Day, SMART honors and remembers our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the armed forces.

So bosses in America spend $1.5 BILLION every year on - *checks notes* - “labor union avoidance.”

Instead of ridiculously expensive union-busting consultants and lawyers, wouldn’t it be better to invest that money in the workers who create profit?

With overwhelming support, lawmakers took a pivotal step forward for rail safety reforms after voting to include key Railway Safety Act provisions in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill. Read about what it took to make today's victory possible: https://t.co/zkq0TuSa23

[Congressman Donald Norcross 🇺🇸 @DonaldNorcross]

The discharge petition for my Faster Labor Contracts Act just hit 218 signatures, guaranteeing that it will be voted on in the House! For too long, companies have used bad-faith stall tactics to deprive American workers from getting the contracts they deserve. With this bill, we’re giving our nation’s hardworking men and women the protections they deserve, because workers rights make the American Dream possible.

“From day one, we’ve said that we will work with any administration to benefit our members, and that we will keep calling balls and strikes on the policies that impact our members. This is a strike.”

[SMART Union @smartunionworks]

On May 19, President Donald Trump endorsed the Railway Safety Act, urging congressmembers to include the legislation in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill.

Clean rooms have unique filtration and climate control requirements, but sheet metal and HVAC companies that specialize in this market can find their expertise in high demand.
