Yesterday, union members, community allies, and elected leaders stood in solidarity with members of IUPAT DC 10 / Glaziers Local 1778 on a ULP strike of Conroe-based Spring Glass & Mirror.

For more than 45 years, these union glaziers have helped build schools, hospitals, offices, and communities across the Houston region with skill, pride, and a commitment to safety and quality craftsmanship. Now, workers are standing together to demand that Spring Glass management stop violating federal labor law and negotiate in good faith.

Thank you to our affiliates and allies who showed up and joined the picket line, including UNITE HERE Local 23, IBEW 716, ILA Local 24, CWA 6222, and Texas Climate Jobs. Special thanks to Harris County Commissioners Adrian Garcia and Rodney Ellis for issuing statements of support for the striking glaziers.

We also want to recognize the unions that walked the line in previous days, including CWA 6154, Plumbers Local 68, IATSE Local 51, and USW District 13.

Houston is a first class city with second class jobs and benefits. So on Saturday, May 16th, 100 union members canvassed across Houston to ask community members if they believe Houston Workers Deserve Better. 575 residents signed cards calling on officials and business leaders to stand with Houston unions in calling for better pay and benefits, safer workplaces and more secure jobs, and a voice at work for all. Thanks to the 14 local unions that participated: UNITEHERE Local 23; Teamsters Local 988; Machinists District 141/Lodge 811 and Lodge 2198; AFSCME HOPE Local 123 and Harris County AFSCME; Communications Workers Local 6154, 6222, and 6186 (TSEU); Operating Engineers Local 564; Houston Federation of Teachers; Painters and Allied Trades DC 10; and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 455. More to come!
