TWU Local 556 has been made aware that one of our Members was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while at work.
Our priority is, and always will be, standing with and supporting our Members. Every Member deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are committed to ensuring this Member and their family know they are not alone during this difficult time.
TWU Local 556 has been in communication with the Member's family. We are also working with the attorney retained by the Member, as well as TWU Local 556's legal counsel, to understand the circumstances and provide appropriate support.
Many Members have inquired about how to help. We understand family and friends have set up a fund to assist with legal expenses, and it is being shared publicly on social media by other Members.
TWU Local 556 will continue to monitor the situation closely and remain engaged as we learn more. We appreciate our Members' concern and support, as we all hope for a swift resolution to this situation.
Our Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team is available to provide confidential peer support and resources to any Member impacted by this event. Everyone processes difficult situations differently, and no one has to navigate them alone. If you would like to speak with a trained peer supporter, please contact CISM at (214) 640-4380.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is asking for black votes, but couldn’t be bothered to show up to the Broward Democratic Black Caucus debate.
Elijah Manley will bring the fight for FL-20, not run from it.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Florida Young Democrats and Broward Young Democrats.
Next year, I can be the youngest member of Congress, and I’ll use my fight every day to beat the affordability crisis, student debt, and the housing costs crushing my generation.

July 4: Independence Day
Today we celebrate 250 Years of Independence from the British Empire. We honor our United States of America, the greatest country the world has ever known, founded on democratic values which continue to guide us forward in our pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Our eyes have never turned from the ideals of our founding fathers: equality, prosperity, and fairness. As Americans, we uphold these values and continue to uplift and shape our American Dream. God Bless America and God Bless the TWU!

I'm honored to have the endorsement of Congressman @RoKhanna.
Congressman Khanna has never been afraid to challenge the political establishment when working people are getting left behind. I'm honored to have his support in #FL20.
Together, we're building a new generation of leadership for Florida and our country.

Elijah Manley refuses corporate money and opposes genocide. He understands the economic struggles people in his district face, because he has overcome them himself.
I am proud to endorse Elijah for Congress because we need leaders with his character and resolve in Washington.
I'm honored to have the endorsement of Congressman @RoKhanna.

With the owner’s permission, we did. Gave it to reporters and posting it here.
You and NYCLASS cited this tragic incident as a reason to ban carriage-horses and rides, without waiting for facts. You should apologize to the grieving owner for stirring up the anti-immigrant, lie-based hate directed at him and other drivers. @TwuSamuelsen @NYCCouncil

I've always stood on the front lines with labor. I've organized picket lines, stood with janitors, fast food workers, and fought for $15. In Congress, I intend to continue standing with labor. I'm grateful for the support from @FlyUnionGuy and Linda Joseph.

“This is a victory for riders. An overwhelming majority want to keep @TWULocal100 Conductors on their trains. They don’t want to see subway staffing and their safety reduced.
This bill addresses concerns Gov. Hochul raised when she vetoed an earlier version in the last legislative session. It’s time for the governor to stand with working people who rely on the subway instead of supporting beancounting bureaucrats and reckless automators.” @TwuSamuelsen
The state Senate on Thursday night passed a measure that would require the MTA to maintain two train operators on every subway line that currently has them.

Happy International Flight Attendants Day! As aviation’s first responders, Flight Attendants are a vital cornerstone of aviation safety. Today we recognize their distinct professionalism, exceptional service, and unwavering dedication.
More than just the public’s simplistic perception, Flight Attendants are masters of multi-tasking and highly trained. Our TWU Flight Attendants handle safety and security with attentiveness and navigate unexpected situations with ease. Quick, capable, and always composed, you make it look much easier than it is.
Thank you for all you do!

Great news for ALL workers @GoBrightline, where the TWU represents Onboard Attendants and Lead Attendants. The federal Railroad Retirement Board has determined all Brightline workers are covered by RRB’s retirement, sick and unemployment plans, which are far more beneficial than what Brightline and the state of Florida provide. @twusamuelsen Read the full decision here: dropbox.com/scl/fi/ssomqbvv4…,

Shame! A Democratic Party Committee Chair and elected officials in Ohio are treating blue-collar transit workers in Akron like garbage, attacking their health benefits and demanding Zero Percent wage increases. Where’s the outrage from Democratic Leaders? @TheDemocrats @OHDems @ohioaflcio @SherrodBrown

Today marks the beginning of Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. AAPI communities are far-reaching and incredibly diverse, with origins spanning from East Asia to the Pacific Islands. AAPI Heritage Month affirms that these communities’ stories are essential to the American narrative, celebrating their resilience and recognizing their invaluable contributions to our nation.
A Filipino Proverb says, "matibay ang walis, palibhasa'y nakabigkis,” which translates to "a broom is sturdy because its strands are tightly bound." In other words, Unity is Strength.
AAPI labor leaders have always been at the forefront of building solidarity among workers across communities and building unity to create big change. The TWU proudly celebrates AAPI Heritage Month. May we all continue to recognize that diversity strengthens our Union.
