BAC applauds @SecMartyWalsh and the Biden Administration for “taking strong action to protect local wage standards from low road employers, and ensure that #construction workers are paid fair wages for their work.” bit.ly/3KD67Fb@WhiteHouse@USDOL#1u
Steve captured the spirit and the will essential to the fight for justice, and did so with generosity, grace and a warm smile for those he worked with. I am deeply saddened by his passing, but grateful for his friendship and the example that he set for those that follow.
On Mar 1, 2022 BAC & the labor movement lost a friend and a champion in Steve Nelms, BAC Director of Organizing. Our hearts go out to Steve's family and we will honor his legacy as he would want. "Don't waste anytime mourning. Organize!"
#RestInPower Steve.

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.
Rich was a relentless champion of workers’ rights, and even as we mourn his passing today, we will stand on his shoulders to continue the fight for workers, and for the fair and just society he believed in so passionately. We will honor his legacy with action.
Today, a majority of the Board found that a union’s use of rats or other inflatables, along with other bannering activity, does not violate the National Labor Relations Act, even when targeting a neutral employer. Read more: nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-…
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) yells at the GOP over union organizing bill: “Heaven forbid we pass something that’s going to help the damn workers in the United States of America.”
He adds: “Now stop talking about Dr. Seuss, and work with us …”
The President basically gave these people a pre-game pep talk.
We cannot ignore that this act of domestic terrorism was brought on by his incendiary comments and behavior.

215,000 Americans are dead. Millions are out of work through no fault of our own. Your failure to lead, @senatemajldr McConnell, is not funny. It’s criminal. And we are going to hold you accountable.
The HEROES Act has been sitting on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s desk since May 15. This legislation deserves immediate action so we can preserve jobs and paychecks, homes and pensions, public services and health care—and above all, save lives. @AFLCIO
How long will it take to get this property under proper, legal compliance @PHLCouncil@philly311 ? Months and months of resquets, what is going on behind close doors? Enforce local laws and protect the taxpayers and workers of Philadelphia. #undergroundeconomy
