This week, thousands of air traffic controllers, aviation safety professionals, and public sector workers will miss their paychecks due to the government shutdown. After 27 long days, our aviation workforce is strained and our national airspace is less safe. #EndTheShutdown

Transportation labor extends our deepest sympathies to the friends and loved ones of our BLET brother who worked for BNSF and was killed on the job in Montana.
We cannot accept rail worker fatalities as the cost of doing business in America.

When we think of school bus safety, we usually think of bus drivers, but railroad signal workers play a crucial role by maintaining railroad crossings. Transportation workers across modes come together every day to keep our infrastructure running! #SchoolBusSafetyWeek @brslaborunion.bsky.social

Boeing workers in St. Louis have been on strike for 74 days with a company that refuses to bargain in good faith. These Machinists Union members are the backbone of our national defense system, and we stand with them as they demand their fair share. www.goiam.org/news/iam-uni...

A government shutdown compromises the safety and efficiency of our national airspace while essential aviation workers are furloughed or working without pay. Congress must act to #EndTheShutdown.

Today we joined our union siblings from AFGE, AFA-CWA, IAFF, AFT, and more to demand immediate action from Congress to reopen the federal government. The longer this shutdown drags on, the more it hurts essential workers, services & safety.

Our air traffic controllers already work tirelessly to keep our national airspace safe, and they do it without pay during a shutdown. Congress must #EndTheShutdown so we can focus on modernizing our air traffic control system and ensure that the workforce is adequately staffed.

Even without a government shutdown, our air traffic control system is strained by chronic understaffing and unreliable equipment. Thousands of aviation safety professionals are either furloughed or working without pay. Congress must #EndTheShutdown now.
