"In a landmark May Day ruling called Lion Elastomers, the National Labor Relations Board restored the rights of union representatives to use heated language, including occasional profanity, during arguments with management."

Great idea but make it 100% union in construction and with ATU operators.

@WmRoush @KOneillkcmo I donated a huge collection of old Labor Beacons when I retired from UMKC as director of labor studies. They’re in the Judy Ancel Collection in the archives at UMKC Miller Nichos library special collections.

@KOneillkcmo I'm hoping it was beneficial to all. Long live the KC Labor Beacon! Please save the old issues and donate them to the KC Research Center, part of the Missouri Historical Society: shsmo.org/visit/kansas-c…

Tonight I sold the Labor Beacon to Union Ink, a subsidiary of the Greater Kansas City AFL-CIO. It’s been over 30 years since I purchased the paper. We started with 1,500 subscribers and today we have over 30,000. I am proud to have served the great men and women of the unions

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
Railroad workers grind themselves to the bone for this country as their labor produces billions for Wall St. They demand the basic dignity of paid sick days. I stand with them. If Congress intervenes, it should be to have workers’ backs and secure their demands in legislation.

Railroad workers have a message for Congress: "Support us or stay out."
