Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @steelworkers.bsky.social for better wages, benefits & working conditions. 

Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation.

I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.

Last week, we joined with our labor allies to urge the administration not to back down on trade measures that protect America’s shipbuilding industry. Workers have seen what happens when our shipyards are sidelined and our jobs are shipped overseas. We can’t afford to retreat again.
