Led by the TWU International Organizing Team & @AFLCIO Organizing Institute, dozens of Miami @twulocal291 officers participated in two days of internal training. We’re keeping members engaged, and making an already strong core of member activists even stronger!

“Big Tech’s wish to ban state-level AI regulation went down big time. Giving states/cities the ability to regulate AI will keep the traveling public safer as Big Tech tries to foist autonomous vehicles on our roads.” @TwuSamuelsen

“The new contract immediately turned the Fuelers represented by the TWU from the lowest-paid Fuelers on property to the highest-paid, and provides workers with both sick time and vacation instead of a management-controlled PTO system.” @TwuSamuelsen
Just a few months after unanimously voting to join @transportworker, aircraft fuelers at Orlando International Airport have approved a new union contract that delivers raises, guaranteed PTO (for the first time) & just cause job protections, per the union orlandoweekly.com/news/orlando-a…
"The TWU supports students right to free speech and non-violent protest, but they never have the right to injure the TWU blue collar workers at Columbia in pursuit of their political goals." @TwuSamuelsen

Tomorrow: The TWU will join our rail labor allies for a critical discussion on freight rail safety and how greedy rail carriers are putting workers and communities at risk.

Our @twulocal100 members are attacked, spat upon, verbally abused or harassed every single day. @SecDuffy is right. @mta NYC Transit workers deserve a safer system! @TwuSamuelsen abc7ny.com/post/twu-calls…
“@SecDuffy pledges to keep aircraft maintenance jobs in America by requiring foreign repair stations to follow @FAANews safety standards after questions from @RepDeLuzio. This is a big boost to hardworking TWU AMTs” @TwuSamuelsen
The @MTA in NY is playing three-card monte with crime stats. Yes, total felonies are down ~4% this year - but that’s largely because non-violent pickpocketing (grand larceny) is down. Felony assaults are UP 18%! Stop playing games, MTA. @USDOT @SecDuffy
