We demand accountability and immediate action to right this wrong. If they admit it was a mistake, they can and must fix it.Β 

To our union brother: The @GoIUPAT stands with you, and we will not stop fighting until all human beings are treated with dignity and respect.

Even after admitting his deportation was an β€œadministrative error,” they claim there’s nothing they can do. That is unbelievable. No worker, no union member, no human being should be treated this way.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was denied due process and the rights our Constitution guarantees to every person in this country.Β  He is just the latest union member to be unfairly targeted by ICE.

In our movement, brother and sister extend beyond our own union. Today, I learned that a fellow union brother from the building trades, a first-year @smartunionworks apprentice, was unjustly taken by ICE and deported to a prison in El Salvador.

An important decision today to buy some time for our members, but make no mistake this is just the beginning of what can be a protracted battle

BREAKING: The National Treasury Employees Union, representing 150,000 workers, is suing Trump over his executive order to end collective bargaining rights for federal workers.

Headline that reads: "Trump administration moves to end union rights at many federal agencies."

Headline that reads: "Trump administration moves to end union rights at many federal agencies."

Gutting union rights for federal workers is an attack on the people who protect our food, care for our veterans, and serve our communities.

Under this administration, no union contract is safe.

The Labor Movement warned the working class about this administrations plans for unions and collective bargaining. The Democratic Party didn’t do enough to energize the working class. The time is now to see if they will make workers rights the center of the party!!

I would hate to call for a National General Strike… but I feel like everyone might start feeling sick 🀧 on a certain first Thursday in May

Dismantling Collective Bargaining is and always will be the work of a rat πŸ€

371 events. 44 states and D.C. and hundreds of thousands of workers across the country standing up and making their voices heard.

We won't let billionaires and their fake government agency, DOGE, gut the essential services working people rely on without a fight.

Working people are fed up with a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. That’s not the future that working people deserve, and we’re fighting for a better one.

America’s unions are standing up every day against corporate greed.

A big win for working people!

A federal judge has blocked Elon Musk and DOGE from accessing people’s private data at the Education and Treasury departments. Unions will always fight to protect working people’s sensitive personal information.

No sweat… sarcasm and social media don’t always go well together. We represent 140,000 construction workers in the US and Canada

Wait…. I thought they didn’t pay taxes πŸ€”

All just a plan to push more workers into the underground economy

The Labor Movement Should Stand Up for Mahmoud Khalil Unions have a moral imperative to defend against illegal attacks on political speech. That means demanding justice for Mahmoud Khalil.

"Mahmoud Khalil has moral courage of the type Eugene Debs spoke about more than a century ago in a speech that he was unjustly arrested for."
