Wherever @JoeBiden goes, he finds the workers who make it possible & thanks them personally. Whether you're working his security detail, serving food, cleaning up, or taking him up the elevator. That's just who he is, cameras or no cameras. He sees every one of us.
After speaking in Hazelwood today @JoeBiden stopped to thank the @PghFireFighters and other public safety personnel working security for his visit. Thank you sir- for the pizza, and the respect & gratitude you give to all working people. *video credit: @tylerpager

BREAKING: Our coworker Liam was fired in retaliation for supporting the union the day after our video announcing our decision to unionize for a #BetterCoffeeTree. Call or email Coffee Tree to demand they rehire Liam immediately! 412-326-0075, jeans@coffeetree.com

Thank you @SenBobCasey for your many years of public service & unwavering support for the union way of life. Organized labor & all working families could ask for no better friend. We’re lucky to have had such an effective champion fighting for us in Washington for so many years.
During my time in office, I have been guided by an inscription on the Finance Building in Harrisburg: “All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor.”. Thank you for your trust in me for all these years, Pennsylvania. It has been the honor of my lifetime.

To protect our members, retirees, families & community, we've decided to forego this year's Labor Day Parade — often the nation's largest. It was a hard decision, but the right one. Instead, we will hold a weekend of service & Labor Day of Giving in honor of frontline workers.
