“You can’t walk on to a plane with a gun, it has to be checked with your luggage and stowed away,” TWU Rail Division Director John Feltz said. “So why allow guns in passenger cars on trains where there are also passengers in confined spaces? This is sheer lunacy.” theguardian.com/business/202…

Ashley Moody NEVER walked the line with you @TeamsterSOB. But ok brother. Shout out to all the rank & file Teamsters that are voting for me. I will ALWAYS STAND WITH YOU!
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

TWU Local 556 has been made aware that one of our Members was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while at work.
Our priority is, and always will be, standing with and supporting our Members. Every Member deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are committed to ensuring this Member and their family know they are not alone during this difficult time.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is asking for black votes, but couldn’t be bothered to show up to the Broward Democratic Black Caucus debate.
Elijah Manley will bring the fight for FL-20, not run from it.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Florida Young Democrats and Broward Young Democrats.
Next year, I can be the youngest member of Congress, and I’ll use my fight every day to beat the affordability crisis, student debt, and the housing costs crushing my generation.

Our eyes have never turned from the ideals of our founding fathers: equality, prosperity, and fairness. As Americans, we uphold these values and continue to uplift and shape our American Dream. God Bless America and God Bless the TWU!

I'm honored to have the endorsement of Congressman @RoKhanna.
Congressman Khanna has never been afraid to challenge the political establishment when working people are getting left behind. I'm honored to have his support in #FL20.
Together, we're building a new generation of leadership for Florida and our country.

Elijah Manley refuses corporate money and opposes genocide. He understands the economic struggles people in his district face, because he has overcome them himself.
I am proud to endorse Elijah for Congress because we need leaders with his character and resolve in Washington.
I'm honored to have the endorsement of Congressman @RoKhanna.

With the owner’s permission, we did. Gave it to reporters and posting it here.
You and NYCLASS cited this tragic incident as a reason to ban carriage-horses and rides, without waiting for facts. You should apologize to the grieving owner for stirring up the anti-immigrant, lie-based hate directed at him and other drivers. @TwuSamuelsen @NYCCouncil

I've always stood on the front lines with labor. I've organized picket lines, stood with janitors, fast food workers, and fought for $15. In Congress, I intend to continue standing with labor. I'm grateful for the support from @FlyUnionGuy and Linda Joseph.

“This is a victory for riders. An overwhelming majority want to keep @TWULocal100 Conductors on their trains. They don’t want to see subway staffing and their safety reduced.
This bill addresses concerns Gov. Hochul raised when she vetoed an earlier version in the last legislative session. It’s time for the governor to stand with working people who rely on the subway instead of supporting beancounting bureaucrats and reckless automators.” @TwuSamuelsen
The state Senate on Thursday night passed a measure that would require the MTA to maintain two train operators on every subway line that currently has them.

Happy International Flight Attendants Day! As aviation’s first responders, Flight Attendants are a vital cornerstone of aviation safety. Today we recognize their distinct professionalism, exceptional service, and unwavering dedication.

Our TWU Flight Attendants handle safety and security with attentiveness and navigate unexpected situations with ease. Quick, capable, and always composed, you make it look much easier than it is.
Thank you for all you do!
