πͺ A very New Jersey, very blue collar chat between @FrankPallone & @LIUNA #Local472 member (and laid off @GatewayProgNews Laborer) Derrick Healy ahead of tonight's State of the Union address.
Feb 24
I asked my guest what he wants to hear at the State of the Union tonight, and he said: βwhen do we go back to work?β

β Derrick & Justin of @LIUNA #Local472 are repping us as @FrankPallone & @RepNellie's guests at State of the Union.
Derrick: "Is it just politics as usual & @POTUS's going to say one thing & do another?
Justin: " @GatewayProgNews shouldn't have been stopped. It's upsetting."

"I know a lot of you jokers out there. We had a lot of fun on these jobs, but we gotta keep it going. I said, remember one thing.
"When Trump campaigned, what did he campaign for? Make America Great Again. What's he doing? Exactly [the opposite]. So is this a political scheme where it's just politics as usual, and a guy's going to say one thing and do something different?
"And who pays for it? The blue collar working class. Here again, we're always the guy at the short end of the stick.
"So, if everybody sticks together like we do here, we won't be the short end of the stick. We are the stick."](https://venexa.site/media/HB8k9tsWMAAylvc.png)

π° @northjersey has a profile on our own @LIUNA #Local472 @GatewayProgNews worker Derrick Healy, who is attending tonight's State of the Union as @FrankPallone's guest.
The son of an Irish immigrant and laborer for Local 472 who was laid off from the Gateway tunnel job was invited as a guest to the State of the Union tonight.
I spoke to him about how he's doing and what it means to attend as a guest of US Rep. Pallone
