This #publicservicerecognitionweek, @AFGEPrezKelley has a special message for every patriotic American serving their country in the government who've been under unprecedented assault.
We see you, and we appreciate what you do for our nation!

"Just two years ago, when our union ratified a new national contract with UPS, it looked like management finally came to its senses. As part of our deal, the company agreed to start putting A/C and ventilation systems in our trucks. For me and my fellow Teamsters, it felt like our prayers were answered. Finally, we wouldn't have to spend more summers worrying about whether we would make it home safe to our families. UPS is intentionally refusing to live up to the promises they made in our contract. The way they treat us, it's like they forget we're human. While they continue to disrespect us, hundreds of thousands of UPS Teamsters are ready to fight for what we're owed."

Private shippers have been wanting to get USPS out of parcel delivery for years. We say #HellNo to handing them the keys! The Postal Service is for the people, and we’ll #FightLikeHell to protect the universal service all Americans rely on!

These workers become the 2nd dedicated VFX unit to unionize with us, with the other being the unanimous election of Marvel Studio’s VFX workers just last month.

In-N-Out, Chipotle, and other chains tried to kill California's landmark fast food worker bill.
Today they lost. Workers will now get a $20 minimum wage, and other huge wins.
And it's thanks to workers like Anneisha Williams, a mom of six who works at Jack in the Box in LA.

NEW: The NLRB could soon make it much easier for workers to unionize.
The board plans to re-establish “Joy Silk,” forcing employers to recognize and bargain with any union supported by a majority of workers. Unions wouldn’t need to win formal elections.

Jorge is harvesting parsley near Moorpark CA. During the recent heat wave, temps consistently reach the mid 90°’s. Jorge's glad to work under a UFW contract where his employer strictly follows heat protection rules like paid rest breaks and adaquate shade. #CALOR #WeFeedYou
