Stories and Articles by Local 223
Brothers and Sisters, for those who have remote access, please take a few minutes to read the article on mental health that is associated with the above picture. Our very own Brothers, Ignatius “Iggy” Brennan (Gas Division Chair) and Akil Williamson (Underground Division – Vice Chair Elect) spoke on this subject, which is very personal to them.
Brothers and Sisters, the question was asked, “Do we support the UAW’s striking workers?” The answer is yes we do, wholeheartedly. Recently some of our officers went to deliver materials such as food, water, diapers, etc. to Local 900 on their personal time. The picture above is from that delivery. They are Union Brothers and Sisters, their struggle is our struggle. Better wages, benefits, and most of all…RESPECT.. is what they are asking from their employers. That sounds familiar. Unions have set the tone for not only their membership but also the public in general for many years. Vacation time, improved working conditions, and higher levels of safety (and so much more) have been some of the accomplishments of Labor. Unions force employers to treat people with RESPECT.

ME: I wonder why?...for she is only the candidate that gives you the Unions audience..a place on her table to understand the problems you face...and proffer common sense solutions...that's best for you And the American people.....freely working with.... for she understands exactly what you go through....so I wonder how a billionaire...whose plans...he has stated clearly will consequentially make some of you loose jobs... HIGHER inflation..and give tax breaks to the billionaires...when president Biden has done YET so much for the MIDDLE class with tax breaks.....com'on...what's driving you....the love for the chains ...or the persons who put it on....or lack of WILL FROM for the FREEDOM of it..... 🇺🇲🇺🇲...... 👁️ 🦅
