The labor movement is our cause and our purpose. From one generation to the next, we’re committed to standing for something bigger than ourselves. We must rise to the moment and take action. @opeiu.org President Tyler Turner imparted these words of wisdom at the 2026 COPE Convention.

It’s been more than a decade of Greg Abbott as governor, and it’s not working for Texas workers. Take it from #TylerTX union member Dameon Johnson ⬇️ @cwaunion.bsky.social
