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.

At 35 days, this shutdown is now tied for the longest in our country’s history. This crisis is unsustainable, from health care premium increases, to uncertainty around SNAP food assistance and Head Start centers funding, to increased stress on our aviation system.

Had a chance to chat with @afacwa.org member @kaela15.bsky.social today. It's absolutely thrilling to have such a great legislator and union leader running for Congress!
Lots of important races out there, but this one is worth your attention and, if you have the means, your money.
