On April 5, tens of thousands of people will be gathering at hundreds of events across the country to say Hands Off!
Our jobs and our freedom to bargain contracts are under attack. Billionaires are calling the shots in Washington, leading to mass layoffs, cuts to funding for cancer research, new hurdles for Social Security recipients, and the dismantling of the independent agencies that hold employers accountable when they violate our rights.
Just yesterday, Donald Trump issued an illegal executive order in an attempt to shut down federal unions. When our employers violate our collective bargaining agreements, when they refuse to bargain fair contracts, when they stand in the way of workers’ organizing to join our union, we use every tool we have to protect our rights. That is exactly what the federal workers are doing, and Donald Trump is attempting to punish them for it.
President Trump is sending a clear message to any of our employers who want to tear up our collective bargaining agreements or ignore labor law: the Trump White House has your back.
Join other CWA members and retirees on April 5 to say Hands Off Our Unions! You can find an event in your area by visiting www.mobilize.us/handsoff.
Times are tough right now. Prices are still too high and layoffs are on the rise. These are serious issues, and our elected leaders should be focused on finding solutions that help working families make ends meet. Instead, they have handed control to Elon Musk, whose top priority is shutting down programs that provide services to our children, our veterans, and our seniors to fund tax cuts for CEOs and billionaires.
April 5 is about joining with others who are angry about this illegal power grab to use our collective power to say Hands Off!
Please join us.
In Unity,
Beth
