Thank you Acting Secretary Julie Su for coming back to California and visiting with Gillig, an American company that recognizes the value of strong labor-management partnerships. Union workers are building the clean transit buses of the future!
Great morning with White House officials, The Building Trades affiliates, and United Today, Stronger Tomorrow at a career fair in Carbon County, Utah — one of the front line communities transitioning from coal to clean energy.
Really happy to join labor & community leaders for a conversation with federal officials at the Coal Country at a Crossroads meeting in Utah. Convened by United Today, Stronger Tomorrow, Operating Engineers 3, Utah Clean Energy & SERDA.
Our #wagetheft laws are only as good as the enforcement. The San Jose construction workers who were robbed of prevailing wages deserve better. sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-labor…
Congratulations to the workers at Tempus who organized into one of the first US unions for #ArtificialInteligence workers with the Machinists Union. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…
Sadly, this is my second post today about #automation replacing jobs. In this case, threatening the good-paying, middle-class jobs that Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union members do. msn.com/en-us/money/co…
I don't want to contribute to the hyperbole about #automation and the #robotapocalypse , but Amazon's automated carts are coming for jobs. UFCW mercurynews.com/2024/02/23/cal…
Congratulations to @Dopplemayr workers who maintain the BART Oakland Airport connector for organizing with the Boilermakers Union & approving their first union contract! They won generous wage increases, improved health and welfare plans, and more. #unionstrong #laborvictory
Can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon than meeting with UNITE HERE! Local 19 leaders about organizing, politics, and power!
In 2017 a housing contractor in San Jose was arrested for trafficking workers without pay. Silicon Valley MEPs and South Bay Labor Council took on the fight & last night San Jose City Council unanimously passed a Responsible Construction Ordinance to protect workers. Huge win.
In 2014, 'temporary' salad plant workers organizing with the #Teamsters union won this historic joint employer liability law with support from California Teamsters Public Affairs Council and California Labor Federation. Congrats to the janitors who used it! calmatters.org/politics/capit…
