🖤💛❤️ Juneteenth | Freedom Day ✊🏾

Today, we honor Juneteenth—June 19, 1865—the day the last enslaved African Americans were finally informed of their freedom.
Juneteenth reminds us that freedom delayed is justice denied. It is a day to reflect on our history, celebrate resilience, and recommit to the ongoing fight for racial and economic justice.

As union members, we know that the fight for dignity, fairness, and respect on the job is deeply connected to the fight for equality in our communities.

Local 420 stands in solidarity with our Black members and honors the generations of Black workers whose strength, leadership, and contributions continue to shape our union movement.

Let’s continue to organize, uplift one another, and build a future rooted in justice, equity, and unity.

✊🏾 In Solidarity,

Esther Simon

Happy Labor Day to our union family and workers across the nation!

Today, we honor you and all the American workers who keep this country running—strong, skilled, and united. 💪

Over the years, the labor movement has secured many rights we now consider essential:
• The 8-hour workday
• Weekends off
• Fair wages
• Safer workplaces
• Paid sick leave
• The right to unionize and bargain collectively

Under the current administration, our fight continues:
• President Trump’s executive order aims to strip collective bargaining rights from federal employees, citing national security concerns. This move threatens to eliminate union rights at over two dozen federal agencies, including the Departments of Treasury, Defense, and Justice.
• In response, unions like the ours - Americans Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ( ), American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) have filed lawsuits to challenge these actions.
• A federal judge has temporarily blocked the administration’s efforts, marking a significant victory for workers’ rights.
• Additionally, the proposed “Project 2025” agenda includes measures that could make it harder for workers to form unions, allow employers to retaliate against union organizers, and let states override federal labor protections.    

Your dedication fuels our mission every day. Let’s keep building a future where every worker is respected, protected, and empowered. ✊

In Solidarity,

Carmen Charles, President.

Which he's allowed to get away with because he's uber rich. #45 and his oligarch cronies using money to keep the poor divided.
