Fair. Contract. Now.
Thank you,
@SpeakerPelosi

We’ll always be grateful for your steadfast leadership standing up for working people, unions and democracy. From passing the

#WorkersFirst
recovery, you had our backs through it all.
We cannot accept a contract that is not fair and equitable, as this company continues to make billions of dollars each year off the backs of our hardworking members.
Our
@acoreunion
members are at the table ready to bargain.
@Apple
has shown us the disrespect of being late or delaying every time.
Is that what they call "bargaining in good faith"? 🤔
The

@JoeBiden
and
@SpeakerPelosi
for always putting working people first.
The House GOP’s “Limit Save Grow Act” would slash veterans benefits by 22%. How dare they come after veterans like this.
