COMPLETE VICTORY!
PrimeFlight Fuelers at Orlando Intl. Airport @MCO voted UNANIMOUSLY to join The TWU. They are treated miserably by PrimeFlight Aviation Services. No more. We immediately commence the fight for the 1st contract w better wages & working conditions. @TwuSamuelsen
.@TWULocal100 shop stewards knocked down over 120 unsafe buses this morning, that @MTA tried putting into passenger service, violating NYS 19a Law. State of good repair has fallen by the wayside on MTA CEO Janno Lieber’s watch. NY’s working families deserves better.
Fair Play & Accolades to @FlyUnionGuy Daniel Mendoza, excellent @transportworker organizer and absolute menace to @GoBrightline bosses’. He rode the line repeatedly, old school, fighting it out with the miserable prick supervisors trying to break the workers’ unionization drive.
. @twusamuelsen with @governorshapiro today in Harrisburg, PA, discussing transit funding. A structural change is needed that ensures a permanent statewide funding fix. Shapiro pledged to continued support for transit 👍.
🚄 🚄 🚄 Workers @GoBrightline are organizing with the TWU. An overwhelming majority have filed cards with the National Mediation Board today! The future of high-speed rail will be driven by organized labor 💪.
It’s beautiful to see the great @transportworker Director, Willie Brown, aka the Scourge of SEPTA, healthy and upfront, talking FIGHTBACK. Willie led multiple strikes as President of TWU Local 234 in Philly, and there’s no better trade union leader to be in a foxhole with 👍.
The TWU’s ongoing Fightback against dangerous, greed-driven efforts to shackle Americans with automation - to the detriment of working families - is gaining attention. @StreetsblogCal, a frontline publication promoting safer streets, referenced our Tech Newsletter. 👍
As the largest U.S. transportation labor federation, we'll always stand with America's aviation workers.
🚨 We urge Congress to support the 8,000 inflight catering workers who have been in contract negotiations with Gate Gourmet for OVER 6 YEARS: https://t.co/uDdqCey8Ve
Today is the 60th Anniversary 🎂 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act, a law that transformed transit in America and created a federal transit program now known as @FTA_DOT that continues to support hardworking TWU members every day.
Recalling with @SpeakerPelosi conversations we had 7 years ago about the dangers of offshoring aircraft maintenance. Years of TWU advocacy now paying off with FAA Reauthorization Bill about to pass! #Twucope2024
