BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

This is the man who got mad because poor people don't go to the doctor until they're ER-level sick and used "The poor you will always have with you" (Matt 26:11) as a reason to reduce aid. He's up for re-election in 2026. Vote. Him. OUT.

Credit where due, fucking with air travel was genius MAGA move. It impacts upper & middle class and, more importantly, a powerful business interest. Starving millions of poor people doesn't piss off Wall St.

My colleague calls Congress "the complaint department for capitalism." Every 2 or 6 years, we make believe 'we the people' choose our leaders, & we can call customer service hotline (Congressional switch board) to lodge complaints. All while real bosses actually billionaires.

We’re living in a world where people actually fight over whether human beings should have access to healthcare. Where apparently more than half of them fight AGAINST it. Obscene.
