But running for union office—and winning, or losing and still building lasting networks in our locals—is not just about getting your name on a ballot..."

Starting to crank up the outreach for our April 26th #LaborNotes event in #Colorado Springs. Starting with my contacts and doing some "peer-esteem snowballing." We're doing a one-day "Secrets of a Successful Organizer" workshop. Cheesy title, but the content is solid and, above all, it provides a principled space and framework for participants to begin building grassroots, person-to-person, democratic networks.

“In 2020, I was on the verge of losing my pension. Every single Repub. Senator opposed the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act.
The election of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff with strong #Teamster support saved my pension and the retirement of over 400,000 Teamsters…
Republicans have spread “right to work” like a cancer, backed NAFTA and job-killing so-called “free trade” deals, and gutted workers rights.”
