Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants.

This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Absolutely! And our mayoral candidates should all make clear that they would order the NYPD to allow workers to picket.

Back in 1930s, one key to labor success was local govts and governors often refusing to send police in to break pickets.

That Mayor Adams using cops to break pickets should mean every local labor leader should be calling for his resignation immediately (aside from his criminal corruption)

Would like a statement from NYC mayoral candidates that they won’t let NYPD break picket lines. Workers have a right to picket!

Hardly an original thought, but the cops are the biggest labor traitors around. And NYC taxpayers should be outraged one of the wealthiest corporations around is protecting itself through the use of public law enforcement officers.

This is a little too on the nose, NYPD.

Don't be like the cops. Support Amazon workers on strike! actionnetwork.org/forms/gettin...
