According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Celebrating the new San Diego Airport Terminal 1! ✈️☀️🏄🏼‍♂️ #UnionBuilt under a PLA - on time and on budget - with 10,000 @sdbldgtrades.bsky.social tradespeople - including hundreds of @ibew569.bsky.social electricians and apprentices - working 7 million hours! Bravo!

IBEW is at the forefront of organizing, training, and building partnerships that matter. “We’re not just building infrastructure — IBEW is building opportunity, security, and America’s energy future.” - @davereaves.bsky.social at @aflcio.org Western Convening. #IBEW @ibewinternational.bsky.social

The US needs more electricians …@ibewinternational.bsky.social says the workers can make a great living! Gretchen Newsom, of @ibew-9th.bsky.social says ‘there’s nobody else that provides free training, full family healthcare, a pension, and solid wages. finance.yahoo.com/news/thanks-...

Happy Labor Day! Workers Over Billionaires, Always! ✊🏽🌾🌹 Every Worker Deserves a Union = Workers Standing Together for a Contract with Fair Wages, Quality Healthcare, Retirement Benefits, and Respect. #LiveBetterWorkUnion #UnionStrong @sdiclaborcouncil.bsky.social @sdbldgtrades.bsky.social

Happy Labor Day weekend! ✊🏽🇺🇸 We owe our 40-hour workweeks, weekends off, and safer workplaces to UNIONS. Thanks to SD Building Trades Unions for decorating the #CarditfKook! Now, @californialabor.bsky.social carry the fight forward for Democracy, #Nokings, and YES on Prop 50!

Bravo @jbpritzker.bsky.social - a true labor champion! On his first day in office, Gov Pritzker ordered the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), and later mandated prevailing wages on renewable energy projects. Building Trades union members like actions for good union jobs! #IBEW

The Road to Real Energy Independence Is Electric: repmikelevin.substack.com/p/the-road-t... by Representative @mikelevin.org. "If we fail to invest in American manufacturing, American workers, and American innovation, we risk falling permanently behind.

"That’s why we must stay the course: maintaining strong incentives for EVs, building out a national charging network, and making smart investments in our power grid and domestic supply chains." - @mikelevin.org repmikelevin.substack.com/p/the-road-t...

Yesterday, IBEW #California local unions and our California State Association of Electrical Workers stood united in Sacramento, advocating for our vital legislative priorities that will secure more #IBEW jobs, shape the future of our electrical workforce, and protect our communities.

Bravo LEGO - most amazing build out of #LegoCon and the San Diego Convention Center at #SDCC!

POLITICO: Gretchen Newsom, a representative of #IBEW, said Democrats should focus on struggling working-class voters. “Instead,” said Newsom, who is not related to the governor, “we’re doing this abundance theory that is abundantly going to abandon workers.” www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Unions warned the governor was betraying his Democratic base. Gretchen Newsom, a rep of the #IBEW, said Newsom's stance was baffling to people "looking at the Dem Party and wondering what comes next... "I see this as…devastating to workers all across California," www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

WTAF! Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and the Carpenters are pushing AB 130, a blatant attack on construction workers in California. This bill is a poison pill for prevailing wages, setting the minimum wage for skilled trades below the $20 Fast Food wage! ACT NOW: actionnetwork.org/forms/protec...

Senator Padilla pledged to help us answer some questions on why California’s workers are being hunted down like prey. He’s doing his best to get some answers.

Forcibly removing a U.S. Senator is disgraceful and reflects a troubling disregard for democracy@ Thank you, Senator Alex Padilla / @padilla.senate.gov, for being a champion of the people! Together, we will fight for dignity and justice for all. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The recent ICE raids are not acts of enforcement; they are cruel, targeted attacks designed to instill fear in our communities and divide us. Immigrant workers are the backbone of our economy, deserving of dignity, respect, and due process.

The IBEW Ninth District demands the immediate release of our union brother #DavidHuerta, unlawfully detained by ICE while standing up for workers. His arrest is an...affront to every worker's right to organize and...justice. We will fight for the rights and safety of all working people.

🚨 ACTION ALERT! 🚨 #IBEW members, it's time to take a stand for our jobs and the future of renewable energy! Take action here: bit.ly/GOPTaxBillLe... The recent GOP tax bill threatens to eliminate vital tax credits that support thousands of good-paying energy jobs.

The House budget bill threatens Alaska's renewable energy projects and the jobs that come with them. Federal tax credits are essential for keeping energy costs down and supporting our #IBEW workforce. @ibewinternational.bsky.social www.homernews.com/opinion/opin...

When I asked Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social how he’d ensure lithium and geothermal projects create good local jobs, he stood #UnionStrong. Public investments must prioritize Union jobs with fair wages, respect, and benefits. #EconomicFairness @californialabor.bsky.social

Trump's attack on public workers is a threat to organized labor. When collective bargaining is undermined anywhere, it weakens protections for ALL workers, public and private. @ibewinternational.bsky.social statement on Trump attacking collective bargaining: ibew.org/article/stan...

IBEW - Standing Up for Our Rights! Trump stripped collective bargaining rights from federal employees, including @ibewinternational.bsky.social members who proudly serve the federal government. From naval shipyards to public power, #IBEW members serve our nation with great distinction.

Fascinating analysis of the relationship between union membership, political views, and voting in the 2024 election: onlabor.org/the-future-o...

📣 Great news! AB 942 has passed out of Committee! Huge thanks to IBEW CA Locals 1245, 11, 108, 302, 340, and 595 for their support. This bill will save non-solar California ratepayers $1.3 billion in 2026 and $58 billion by 2043! 🌍💡 #AB942 #RenewableEnergy

A new historic partnership between Google, the electrical training ALLIANCE, NECA and the IBEW will help train 100,000 electrical workers and 30,000 new apprentices, ensuring that we have the highly skilled electrical workforce our economy needs. bit.ly/42TNt6N

Trump DOGE cuts are having a ‘compounding effect’ on staffing the grid - & #IBEW JOBS!   “Linemen are in particularly short supply... the federal chaos is exacerbating that exact problem for Bonneville.” Article: www.latitudemedia.com/news/at-bonn... via @latitudemedia.bsky.social

⚡️Tourism is the 2nd largest sector of the #SanDiego economy. ⚡️32M visitors spent $14.6B in San Diego. ⚡️1 in 8 jobs in San Diego is connected to the tourism industry = 214,000 people. ⚡️The regional tourism industry generated over $1B in tax revenue in 2024, with $360 million in hotel occupancy taxes.

Yes! Thank you, Gretchen! This is why collective bargaining is important — so workers have a say in their working conditions and their future and so everyone gets a fair share.

Great to catch up with Ladies of Labor at #PLASummit2025 🌾🌹✊🏽 @juliesulabor.bsky.social @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social @carolkim.bsky.social Union Strong with @californialabor.bsky.social @sdiclaborcouncil.bsky.social

The Trump administration is watering down apprenticeship standards - promoting fake apprenticeships like Dog Groomer Apprentice. Stick with the gold-standard Building Trades UNION Apprenticeships - with $$$ wage progression, family medical care, pensions, quality training, and certifications!

The best news to wake up to! 💙 Congratulations PALOMA AGUIRRE @sdiclaborcouncil.bsky.social @sdbldgtrades.bsky.social @ibew569.bsky.social

Building Trades Unions are ‘in a knife fight in a phone booth fighting for worker rights and respect…and we will NOT backdown.’ - #NABTU President Sean McGarvey Trump’s canceling of collective bargaining for federal employees is the worst union busting - a direct assault on workers! Fight Back!

HANDS OFF Our Unions / Our Medicare / Our Social Security / Our Rights / Our Jobs / Our Data / Our Families and Friends! ✊🏽🇺🇸💪🏽

Welcome to the #IBEW, Mister President Joe Biden. #UnionProud #UnionStrong with @ibewinternational.bsky.social

Wisconsin's working people rejected the richest man in the world's attempts to literally buy an election, and embraced a circuit court judge who puts workers over billionaires. Congrats to Judge Susan Crawford and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO for making this victory possible.

🚨 Breaking Labor News 🚨 Trump admin has announced drastic cuts to the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS). This independent agency is crucial for handling collective bargaining disputes - will terminate most of its 220 employees today. Read more: federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...

Yesterday, the CSAEW gathered in Sacramento for Lobby Day, where our #IBEW members advocated for job site safety, labor rights, and community voices in permit reform and prevailing wages. Together, we defended CEQA and made our voices heard! 💪🔌 #CSAEW #LobbyDay2025 #UnionStrong #AdvocacyInAction
