Beautiful afternoon on @UAW @alaa2325 picket line outside Camba Legal Service This is one of 4 shops and 400 legal workers already on strike with 5 more shops and 1600 workers stepping out tomorrow if no contracts! Biggest strike in NYC in years potentially tomorrow!
Yes
UAW Region 9A is setting out a clear message to voters. Will other unions and progressive groups follow? bit.ly/3QEOlGM
We love a good worker action folks
Players came out for warm ups wearing shirts that read “pay us what you owe us” as the WNBPA and league remain at odds in CBA negotiations.
When our democracy is in distress, @UAW workers are first on the scene and with Mayor Adams rolling out the red carpet for ICE, their work is more important than ever. Always proud to stand with them. ✊🏼@alaa2325 @ABetterNYLAG @LASattysunited

These hardworking lawyers deserve fair wages, better working conditions & dignity. They serve New Yorkers most in need — now we need to stand with them.

Rep. Pat Ryan of the Hudson Valley had a different take. "Andrew Cuomo should go away and be nowhere near a position of any public trust ever again," he said.
In Kingston, Gov. Hochul was asked about former Gov. Cuomo reentering the NYC mayor's race. "I will not wade into that. Everybody has the right to run any race they choose to, and we'll just see how it all plays out." Will she be endorsing in the race? "I'll think about it."
414 @UAW workers at 4 shops have been out since Tuesday, now an additional 344 more out this am at 3 more shops. Thats 758 legal services workers on strike today! Pickets in Manhattan, BX and BK! And now 1200 Legal Aid workers set strike deadline of 7/25! Support @alaa2325
ESCALATION ALERT 🚨 TICK TOCK
Legal aid workers in New York City with @UAW are on strike! Many struggle to make ends meet, despite providing critical services for working class New Yorkers. This is just the beginning as more workers across the sector prepare to join them as the strike grows.
“@alaa2325 members are striking for the resources they need to represent working-class New Yorkers in our city’s courts. We cannot sustain the high levels of attrition, burnout, and turnover in our workplaces. This is a fight for justice for poor and working-class people all over…
“We are overworked, we are underpaid, we are overlooked, and still we are committed. This work fills our hearts with joy, but we are drowning." @alaa2325 | @UAWRegion9A ow.ly/jZLf50Wqzvq
In a nice moment: Zohran Mamdani brings up a legal services worker fighting for more resources to point out her sign: "my clients deserve a lawyer who can afford rent."
🧵On Tuesday, legal services workers with @alaa2325 rallied in solidarity with striking members to demand the funding, staffing, and support they need to continue delivering justice for low-income New Yorkers.
Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through. An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, @BernieSanders.
Had a great meeting with @ZohranKMamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running. The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents. We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.

Last time this many @alaa2325 workers went out on strike was '94, and they were quickly stamped out by fmr Mayor Giuliani. But with @ZohranKMamdani's recent election win, today's political environment is much different, and @UAW has a new strategy as well
Hundreds rallied Tuesday, including over a dozen politicians—Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral nominee among them—in a show of support for the striking workers, who include attorneys representing low-income tenants in housing court. via @Tareqsaghie: bit.ly/4f3bTQT

Thousands of workers who provide legal services to low-income people are preparing for a possible strike by the end of this week — joining the more than 400 already on the picket line seeking better pay for themselves and more resources for their clients. buff.ly/Y1Lo0QL
Solidarity with @PSC_CUNY! Solidarity with @UAW! NY is a labor town. 🔥
“I’ll never forget where I came from, and I will always be with @UAW, and I will always be with all of you,” said @TishJames. “And I urge the city to reach into its reserves and pay you what you need.” thecity.nyc/2025/07/15/pub…
