Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

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 unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

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.

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

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!!

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.

"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."

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.
