Job Corps is so much more than a jobs readiness program: it's a lifesaver for those who need it. Hear from our sister, Sharde Fikes, about how Job Corps completely changed her life -- and how she's committed helping to change others' lives, too.

The work of the merchant marine is crucial to maintaining U.S. national and economic security. Yesterday, @DOTMARAD Acting Administrator Sang Yi visited the Calhoon @MEBAUNION Engineering School, where academy interns learn and develop their trade.

During the COVID pandemic, the Payroll Support Program gave economic relief to aviation workers. Delta Airlines prioritized their executives over frontline workers & must now pay $8.1 million to remedy the misuse of these funds. Read @afa_cwa's statement:  afacwa.org/delta_covid_re…

Last month, the @IAM_Union Transportation Conference in Las Vegas, NV brought together union leaders and workers from all over the country. In solidarity, we will create safer and fairer workplaces for skilled aviation and railroad workers.

On #RuralTransitDay, we recognize the importance of protecting transit as a public good, and we thank the workers who keep rural America moving!

A true trailblazer, President Cecil Roberts of @MineWorkers, will soon retire after a decades-long career and invaluable service to the labor movement. As a sixth-generation coal miner and a passionate advocate for his members, he is a true example of strength and solidarity.

In July 1887, John T. Wilson and a group of foremen gathered in Demopolis, AL, forging the foundation of what would become the BMWED-IBT. Born in an era of brutal working conditions and labor strife, our legacy is one of resilience and solidarity. 🇺🇸 🔗 bmwe.org/beginning

Yardmasters are tasked with the crucial coordination of engines & trains in railyards. To keep yards & communities safe, they cannot be fatigued. We thank @RepCarbajal & @RepMikeLawler for reintroducing legislation to ensure that yardmasters have federally regulated rest periods.

U.S. airline safety didn’t just happen—it’s built on rigorous pilot training and experience. Lowering standards puts lives at risk. There are no shortcuts to the flight deck, and there never should be.

Our hearts are with the communities affected by the historic flooding in central Texas, and we remain grateful for the heroic first responders on the scene. To donate or volunteer to help those impacted, visit @TexasAFLCIO's resource guide: texasaflcio.org/news/central-t…
