There is no US labor shortage. That’s a myth

There is, however, a shortage of jobs paying sufficient wages to attract workers to fill job openings

Last week, we joined ATU members who are on strike against Loudoun County transit operator Keolis. One day longer, one day stronger! ✊

Keolis rakes in ~$6.7 billion in annual revenue - they can afford to give workers a fair contract TODAY.

"As railroad carriers have implemented cuts and more grueling scheduling systems, they’ve also reported record profits and have paid out $196bn in stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders since 2010. BNSF and Union Pacific, the two largest railroad corporations in North America, both reported record profits in 2021." - The Guardian

Today is a day to stand with rail workers.

Congress should vote to approve seven days of paid sick leave for these workers.

Imagine being on strike for *600 days* because your employer cares more about profits than people.

We stand with all UMWA coal miners who are still striking against Warrior Met Coal. ✊

#Introduction

Hi! We are the Transportation Trades Department (TTD) of the @aflcio.

TTD is a proud labor federation of 37 unions representing millions of transportation workers. We are the largest transportation labor federation in the country and still growing!

We fight for federal policies that improve the lives and livelihoods of the working people who build, operate, and maintain our critical infrastructure and transportation systems.

Looking forward to connecting with folks on here.
