Thank you @laborcaucus.house.gov
for supporting ILWU Local 12 workers in their fight to preserve area wage & benefit standards. Good jobs build strong communities. Undermining these conditions w/substandard wages & benefits only leads to a race to the bottom. We know we can count on your support.

When workers come together to bargain, they earn higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces.

And veterans benefit from a VA staffed by workers who are well-compensated, properly trained and who work in a safe environment

Our flight attendants ensure we get where we are going safely. The least we can do is make sure they have the wages and benefits they deserve. That's why I joined the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) rally to call for a fair contract!! Let's get it done.
