Just one year into the Trump administration, everything from approval ratings to job numbers and worker safety is plunging. #cleanenergy #manufacturing #unionjobs #workersafety
Happy #WomensHistoryMonth from BGA!
In the last two years the gender pay gap has widened, but notably women covered by a #union contract did not experience the same effects. Read our newest substack here: https://loom.ly/lvsxYZk
The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) provides training, job search support, relocation assistance, and income support. We are happy to see the efforts to reauthorize and modernize the act today 🔧💪
Today, we honor the start of Women’s History Month and a history-making moment: Roxanne Brown becoming the first female president of the USW. All month long, we will highlight leaders and moments that changed history — and continue to inspire our work today.
❄️⟷☀️From a utility worker fixing an electric line during a snowstorm to an airport worker on the tarmac of a record-breaking hot summer day, workers deserve safety protections on the job. Read about how #unions are shaping worker policy here: https://loom.ly/eBw9614

Happy #ValentinesDay from BGA! Send these to your special someone 💙😏💚
The Trump administration plans to repeal the EPA’s #EndangermentFinding using a debunked, climate-denier report. This rule is the foundation of federal climate policy. Repealing it lets polluters off the hook and puts public health and vulnerable communities at risk. https://loom.ly/RUXkybo
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth from BGA!
Leaders like Addie L. Wyatt helped transform the labor movement into a space where women and Black workers could lead. We honor her advocacy as it helped open doors for generations of new leaders. 💙💚

BGA's Richard Diaz met with the city of Milwaukee Water Works to convene a meeting regarding Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) workforce. The city is planning to soar from replacing 3500 to 5000 service lines this year!
The Trump admin is using taxpayer money that should be building a just, clean economy to terrorize workers and communities instead. Read this Substack to learn how the Trump admin and the GOP Congress funded a $75B ICE expansion here: https://loom.ly/-kWDu9c #ICEout

Minnesota rise up! We are here and honored to stand with #ICEOutofMN at today’s Day of Action ✊
