We are heartbroken and outraged to learn of the murder of our union sibling, Alex Pretti, by federal agents today in Minneapolis.
A member of @AFGELocal3669, Alex devoted his life to caring for our veterans.
Under Lee Zeldin, EPA is allowing levels of pollution we have never seen the agency permit before. He's completely corrupting EPA's mission. Instead of protecting people and the environment, Zeldin is letting polluters get away with polluting MORE. That's why Moms are calling for his resignation. Join us by telling Congress, Zeldin must go! Sign here: https://t.co/s1tmCJ2ZQv #ZeldinMustGo #POLLUTIONSPREE
Today, @EPA workers in Region 5 began receiving furlough notices—halting work at the agency that protects the American people from toxic pollution. This is the latest blow to the EPA and its mission to protect public health and the environment. 🧵
We stood strong today at #NoKingsChicago to make it clear: Our union is fighting back against the attacks from this administration, and we won’t stop upholding our oath to protect the environment from big polluters! ✊
“The biggest victory, I think, has been in terms of highlighting the egregious nature of what Trump is doing,” said Rushab Sanghvi, the general counsel for @AFGENational “It is getting the public to understand how terrible it is.” #unionstrong

#EPA workers show up for #LaborDay all across our nation. Today and everyday until we win, we will continue the fight to overturn Trump’s illegal ban on our union!
In the face of unprecedented attacks on our union and the entire labor movement, it’s more important than ever to come together in solidarity and celebrate Labor Day.
You can’t scare us, @epaleezeldin, we’re sticking to the union!
Happy Labor Day! ✊✊✊
.@EPA’s goal is clear.
They want to intimidate us out of speaking out against their agenda of destruction.
But we aren’t going to be bullied. We will continue fighting back, because that is the oath we took. We will protect human health and the environment, no matter what.
Protect EPA workers- Bring the Protect America's Workforce Act to the House and Senate Floor!
