“This is 100x worse than PATCO ever dreamed of being," Fain said, referring to the Port Authority Corp, "when you're talking, you know — 700,000 people — their contracts just being taken away."

"Free speech is under attack. #Unions are under attack," Fain told CBS”

Postal employees rally against #DOGE: "It’s about rich versus poor. Who built this country? It wasn’t people in suits. It was people in coveralls."

Labor Notes · Postal Workers Throng to 500 Rallies to Save the Postal ServiceFrom big cities to small towns, postal workers organized hundreds of rallies across the country in the past week to defend a beloved public service—and the nation’s largest union employer—against privatization and DOGE attack. “Whose Postal Service?” workers chanted in New York: “The people’s Postal Service.” “U.S. Mail Is Not for Sale” was the rallying cry March 20 at 250 rallies organized by the Postal Workers (APWU). “Fight Like Hell” was the theme March 23 for another 210 rallies led by the Letter Carriers (NALC).

Trump's new Executive Order orders 30 federal agencies to trash union contracts now, sets up a framework to strip terminate union workers, mass firings, and bans current unions from handling worker grievance

I told every union worker I knew that backed Trump that this was going to be the outcome. That Trump and the GOP were against labor. But no, the immigrants that picks the fruits and waits the tables were "stealing their jobs."

The memo spells out steps agency chiefs and Trump Cabinet officers will use to destroy the unions on “national security” grounds. #Unions #unionstrong #USPol

In Trump's first term regarding unions, Trump White House aides, most from the Heritage Foundation, openly said “feds first, everyone else afterwards.”

The class struggle is not going to be fought by itself or by lone individuals. It can only be effectively fought and won by collective groups of people. Get organized! Join the struggle. There are plenty of labor unions, community unions, tenet unions, political parties (NOT THE DEMOCRATS), etc, that you can get involved in. The fastest way of building class consciousness among workers is by participating in class struggle. GO OUT NOW!

🚨"The worst thing that the fed govt has done to labor #unions in my lifetime: Trump signed an EO saying that the govt will no longer recognize & bargain with a huge portion of the unions that rep fed WKRs: VA, St Dept, DOE, EPA, TSY, DOJ... To justify the move -said: agencies are involved in #nationalsecurity -FICTION.

There're >1M union members working in the fed govt, EO: targets most of them. They don’t give a fuck. This isn't about law. This is about power."
