@aflcio President Rich Trumka was a labor hero. He cared deeply for all union members and had a vision of true worker power. I’m indebted to him for his friendship to #sagaftramembers and to me personally. He lived #UnionStrong. We will carry that forward.

The labor movement, the AFL-CIO and the nation lost a legend today - and I lost a dear friend. Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the UMWA to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America’s labor movement.

This is unacceptable. Cases are rising in New York but @AlbanyMed nurses are forced to reuse "decontaminated" N95 masks. This is why nurses are ready to strike— they deserve safe and effective PPE.

.@nynurses Executive Director Jill Furillo says there is no way the nurses at Albany Medical Center would have unionized without the support of the state’s labor organizations.
