I’m honored to have the support of the Iowa Teamsters. Iowans are working harder than ever to get ahead, but higher prices and stagnant wages are leaving hard working families behind. In congress, I’ll stand up to special interests and fight for better pay and lower costs

I was proud to join Teamsters 856 and the California Nurses Association on the picket line at MarinHealth Medical Center today.

Healthcare workers deserve a fair contract, affordable healthcare, and safe staffing. It is always an honor to stand with working people, especially my Teamster family.

These Michiganders are standing up to ask for a better deal and I'm proud to have their back. The hard working folks at Teamsters Local 243 are the definition of determination and grit.

From the picket line, to the halls of Congress – I'll always stand with you. Never back down!

The Amazon Teamsters are fighting hard for their first contract! You have a chance to help!

Next Tuesday, show some mighty solidarity and join them on the steps of San Francisco City Hall (Polk Street side) to demand that Amazon come to the bargaining table now!

I joined Teamsters Local 191 on the picket line over the weekend to show my support for their fight to recognize the union they voted for in July for fair wages, benefits, safety & the respect they deserve.

Connecticut Distributors must bargain in good faith with these workers.

Package division is our largest division. Then Public Services and Warehouse third. Freight is our ninth largest division now but we also have people driving carhaulers, tankhaulers, garbage trucks, public sector has bus drivers. We are still mostly driving.

But yes. Anyone can be a Teamster.

On the picket line with striking nurses at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc demanding safe staffing ratios.

Too many patients per nurse = unsafe care for YOU.

We stand with you, Teamsters 332 ✊

It’s not complicated. If your nurse is juggling too many patients while you’re in the hospital, it’s that much harder to keep you safe.

Today we stood with the Teamsters to demand fair pay & safety on the job for the workers at Amazon. NYC is a union town and we are prepared to stand together and fight for the rights of the people who keep this billion dollar company afloat. #1u

Started early today meeting Teamsters at the UPS Dulles facility. I’m proud to have the endorsement of Teamsters Local 639. Their hard work makes VA-11 stronger every day.

This is exactly why the Commissioner does not want publicly traded companies to own teams. They do quarterly reports to shareholders and revenues keep going up. Teams keep earning larger profits and are not sinking them into player salaries. It's not just the Braves.

@teamsters.bsky.social are leafleting outside Ford Motor Company plants to call out the company’s use of nonunion carhaulers.

Sign the petition to tell Ford: Respect Teamsters labor and stop using nonunion carhaulers:

(1/2): I’m honored to receive the endorsement of @teamsters.bsky.social Local 639β€”one of the strongest voices for workers in our region. From day one, I’ve stood with organized labor because I believe unions are essential to building a fair economy and restoring the American Dream.

Most people don’t know this, but Colorado is still an anti-union right-to-work state with outdated laws on the books designed to silence workers.

Governor Polis could change that by signing SB5. Please call him and encourage him to do so:

Screenshot of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick's tweet that reads: Today, along with a group of my colleagues (@RepMikeLawler, @RepDonBacon, @RepMikeTurner, @RepLaLota, @RepGarbarino, @RepBresnahan, & Rep. Chris Smith), I called on President Trump to reconsider his Executive Order regarding collective bargaining rights of unionized federal workers.

We support efforts to improve government efficiencyβ€”but applying sweeping national security exemptions to agencies like SSA, FCC, GSA, and HHS risks doing more harm than good. These agencies are vital to public service. Undermining collective bargaining in these spaces weakens morale, accountability, and performance.

That’s why, alongside this letter, I introduced the Protect America’s Workforce Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill restores a responsible, targeted approachβ€”preserving bargaining rights and reinforcing the role that the worker’s voice plays in strengthening government.

We don’t have to choose between security and fairness. We canβ€”and mustβ€”protect both.

Protecting the collective bargaining rights of workers isn't a partisan issue. We thank Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and all the House Republicans who are urging President Trump to reconsider his executive order eliminating federal workers' collective bargaining rights.

Barnes and Noble workers have won a historic first union contract at the company.

Workers organized with @rwdsu.bsky.social just ratified their first union contract at three NYC locations.

The contract brings the minimum wage up to between $23.00-$25.00, improves healthcare, and more.

There job could pay them better and give them better benefits if they organized a union. If their bosses are aware of how much they are needed their employer may not retaliate for them organizing.

(Their employer will retaliate for them organizing, that is a $400 million dollar industry)

Everything in Brooklyn is like 45 minutes away from everything else, also i always get lost when I am there. Having lived in queens for 6 years it made so much more sense.

I did work more political campaigns in Brooklyn than Queens in my life.

Most Congressional offices if you call before 5:30 PM will have at least an intern answering the phone.
