Disturbingβ¦ Chillingβ¦ Normalizedβ¦
We are living at a time none of us could have ever imagined just a few years ago
We need a conscious as a country
Festivus Yes!!!
Starbucks No!!!
Mass deportations donβt protect working peopleβthey weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.
An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social
Fake news⦠Union voters voted 56 percent for Harris
I donβt know of any union that endorsed him or supports this administration
IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unionsβthey deserve respect and protection.
Americaβs unions will keep fighting for them.
Join me, @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social , @sanders.senate.gov & thousands more as we stand up for our rights!

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 βadministrative error,β they claim thereβs 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."
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 didnβt 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 Strikeβ¦ but I feel like everyone might start feeling sick π€§ on a certain first Thursday in May
Dismantling Collective Bargaining is and always will be the work of a rat π
Union Busting yet again
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. Thatβs not the future that working people deserve, and weβre fighting for a better one.
Americaβs 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 peopleβs private data at the Education and Treasury departments. Unions will always fight to protect working peopleβs sensitive personal information.
Thank you very much! Which union? I just joined bluesky this weekend π
No sweatβ¦ sarcasm and social media donβt always go well together. We represent 140,000 construction workers in the US and Canada
I knowβ¦I was being sarcastic
We stand with you Brian
Waitβ¦. I thought they didnβt pay taxes π€
All just a plan to push more workers into the underground economy
And maybe a good time to call for #Medicare4All
