Solidarity is the only path forward. We all signed agreements within minutes of each other. Doesn’t matter if Doctor Seuss said it or whatever, we all do better when we all do better.

Today, several of my colleagues joined me in sending a letter to the Washington Commanders to express our expectation that PLAs and Labor Peace Agreements are necessary—among other things—for our consideration of the proposed RFK development deal.

Our union stands with our brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia in @smartunionworks because an injury to one is an injury to all. We are grateful that the Trump administration has been ordered to do the right thing and return him to the U.S. by Monday.

The new City Ridge development in DC has a Wegmans, a Tatte, an Equinox, luxury apartments, and rooftop greenhouse and a “sports simulator.” It was *$715 million* project. But hundreds of the construction workers who built it experienced wage theft and were denied any benefits.

Scoop @BW: REI has told workers unionizing hurts its "vibe" and would "put what you have at risk," & that union has "red flags" like not spending much on “social impact.” REI talking points say it’ll “ensure” no one has a better experience because of union bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
