Local 34 UNITE HERE

I wrote a piece for @aldotcom about how my journey into cancer research was made possible by federal funding, and why we need to stop Trump’s cuts to federally funded research. Here’s a gift link to my article! Please read, share, and speak up! al.com/news/birmingha…

Gov. Ned Lamont has a choice to make: bad actor employers, including multi-billion-dollar corporations from out of state, or hundreds of thousands of Connecticut workers and their children. nhregister.com/opinion/articl…

"The machinists’ strike at RTX makes clear that we all have a stake in these fights. We may not be out on the picket line... But our interests are being decided on that picket line. Our community’s future is on that line. SB8 recognizes that simple truth." courant.com/2025/06/02/opi…

What do you deserve? More than being starved out by greedy bosses. SB 8 protects our right to fight for what we’re worth. What side are you on?!

"Some of my earliest memories are on the picket line with my mom. Over 30 yrs later, I'm a 34 member and the wages & benefits she fought for support me & my kids today. Moms on the picket line aren't just fighting for themselves—they're fighting for all of us.” - Ellen Cupo, WGSS
