Federal employees endured a senseless 35-day, politically-driven government shutdown. It took the entire labor movement standing in solidarity to end it and get back pay for federal employees. Proud to work with our partners at

Together with
@TCUnionHQ, we are the fiercest advocates for Amtrak. We must stop politicians from continuing to gut our nation’s passenger rail network and outsourcing good union jobs.#IAMLegConf19pic.twitter.com/gdwpfnmjvnAfficher cette discussion -
Our gains in wages are being negated by rising healthcare costs. It’s not sustainable. The time is NOW for universal health care. Proud to stand with our allies at

Thank you,
@RepJoeCourtney, for being our champion to repeal the so-called “Cadillac Tax,” a 40% tax on our healthcare plans. We should not balance the budget by taxing working peoples’ health care.#IAMLegConf19pic.twitter.com/2H7HYPG3yvAfficher cette discussion -
Together with
@DonaldNorcross, we are determined to get back pay for employees of federal contractors. 1.2 million working people are still waiting for relief after the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.#IAMLegConf19pic.twitter.com/4O0mf6x9bJAfficher cette discussion -
