“Blue collar workers must never be viewed as secondary to protesters’ ideological goals. That entitled, despicable behavior will always be met with a TWU fightback.”

Years of TWU advocacy is close to paying off. Congress unveiled FAA reauthorization legislation that raises standards at foreign repair shops, closing safety gaps & taking away incentives for greedy airlines to offshore aircraft maintenance jobs. The TWU will keep fighting 👊

Great The White House news that Micron Technology will commit to joining U.S. Department of Labor manufacturing initiatives, partnering with @AFTUnion on job training, and engaging CWA on worker rights. Every US chips manufacturer should be held to high standards to create good union jobs.

BREAKING: Micron will meet with CWA to discuss labor peace as part of $6.1 billion CHIPS Act award. This is an important step toward fulfilling President Biden and Chuck Schumer goal of rebuilding the middle class by creating good, union, jobs.

UNION STRONG EPISODE 108: Workplace Injury Treatment & Prevention
nysaflcio.org/news/union-str…

In NYS there is a unique network of occupational health clinics available to workers to prevent injuries & illnesses. In this pod, we talk to the medical director at one of the clinics to learn about the services available and how workers can access them: bit.ly/3WweKuD

Noncompete agreements trap workers from finding better jobs, drive down wages, and stifle competition. We commend the FTC and Lina Khan for finalizing a strong rule to ban these exploitative practices and level the playing field for American workers.
