Hey y’all, guess who’s STILL stalling on economics—and who just canceled the final bargaining session of the year? Yep. @transequality.bsky.social’s Management. They clearly don’t care that the BU will lose protections heading into the new year.

We are back at the bargaining table! And it's been FIVE months.

There is no time but the present, @transequality.bsky.social

Let's Negotiate!

We are proud to be part of a union of thousands of legal advocates and attorneys who understand that a threat to one is a threat to all.

#FreeMahmoudkhalil

As the federal government is restricting trans people’s ability to travel & immigrate, targeting trans people in custody, & increasing its surveillance & criminalization, it’s important to recognize that fights for trans liberation, immigrants’ rights, & Palestinian freedom are inextricably linked.

Consistent with our past statements, our union remains steadfast in our commitment to Palestinian freedom. we continue to be disappointed by our organization’s silence, which has negatively impacted partnerships in our work.

Official statement:

ULW4TL condemns the illegal targeting, kidnapping, and detention of mahmoud khalil and joins @alaa2325 in demanding his immediate release and cessation of all deportation proceedings.

If you are a movement worker facing a layoff, please contact us at ulw4tl@gmail.com. We will do our best to share leads & connect impacted workers with new opportunities. We can’t promise help for everyone, but we will try. (8/10)

We must send a clear message: unionization is our shield. It ensures workers have a voice in decisions affecting their lives & livelihoods. Movement workers across organizations must unionize & fight for fair, just workplaces. (6/10)

By contrast, we appreciate that A4TE, a trans-centered org, has worked to reduce costs without layoffs. These conversations matter. Leadership’s commitment to workers is crucial in the fight against this anti-trans regime. (5/10)

The justification for these layoffs at HRC demands scrutiny. Their payroll is $21.5M for 300 staff, yet 18 executives take home $5.19M—nearly 25% of all salaries. Even modest pay cuts at the top could have saved many jobs. (3/10)

This is a stark reminder of the uncertainty & cruelty we face under this administration. Funding & sustainability are crucial to keeping our communities safe. Organizations must prioritize protecting workers—not padding executive salaries. (2/10)

On behalf of ULW4TL, we’re proud to share our first post on Bluesky. We reaffirm our commitment to fighting for the safety, dignity, & liberation of trans communities. Our collective power is rooted in solidarity, & we will not waver in the face of fear and division. Read our full statement below. 👇
