Apprenticeships = Jobs! “A majority of Americans (62%) agree that apprenticeships—or ‘earn while learning’ vocational opportunities—make people more employable than going to college.” prnewswire.com/news-releases/… #changeyourlife #union #electrician #sd #imperial #apprentice

LETTER: Workers better off when in a union thedailyjournal.com/story/opinion/… via thedailyjournal.com

One year into the GOP tax cuts, and these words ring true.

My hat goes off to the workers at the New Era factory in Derby. These workers make the most visible symbol of our sport and they rely on fair wages & benefits to support their families. This is about protecting jobs with dignity and standing with workers who help grow our game.

Far too many workers in this country have jobs that don’t pay liveable wages or offer benefits. Underemployment is a real problem in America. Too many people work multiple side jobs to pay off student loans, afford health care, or make ends meet. One job should be enough.

Wabtec provided some $60 million in payments to the company's 20 top executives as a result of its merger with GE but is now trying to force workers into 12 hour shifts without overtime pay. That is outrageous. I stand with UE Local 506 and 618.

Local 56 rally in support of 506 tomorrow at 8:30 starting at Scott electric and marching down to the west gate. ✊✊✊

My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home. From what I’ve been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son & watch our team. Don’t know who this is, but I have tickets for him & his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!!
