Yesterday, in an act of complete retaliation, @UPS fired me from the job on bogus charges. But this isn't just about me — what UPS is doing is part of a larger retaliation against union organizers and sympathizers, especially as the @Teamsters ramp up our 2023 contract fight.

Why Is OSHA AWOL? nytimes.com/2020/06/21/opi…

These are the type of actions I’d expect from past administrations, maybe the current White House, not a mayor who who came into office pledging to reform the type of aggressive policing I experienced tonight.

BREAKING: The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating the assault on @WSJ reporter @tylergabriel_ by @nypd officers while covering protests last night. Tyler, who is black, had his press badge displayed when he was hit in the face by cops:

Lost my glasses and my ankle is in searing pain after NYPD hit me in the face multiple times with riot shields and pushed me to the ground. I was backing away as request, with my hands up. My NYPD-issued press badge was clearly visible. I’m just sitting here crying. This sucks.

Police hand out masks to #Manhattan sunbathers while home care aides in #Queens buy their own #PPE . Meanwhile, there's brutal enforcement of social distancing across town. The economic & racial divides are just staggering.

Something to celebrate this #MayDay: @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James is taking on @amazon and "calling on the NLRB to investigate." The 7PM nightly applause, the inspirational TV ads, politicians & celebrities lauding our heroes...it means little when not backed by the @NLRB

In this midst of a pandemic, Chris Smalls & his colleagues bravely protested the lack of precautions that @amazon employed to protect them from #COVID19. Then he was fired. I'm considering all legal options & calling on the NLRB to investigate. Amazon, this is disgraceful.

@chasbwalker @GlobeIdeas Excellent piece. Similarly, HHA's face unconscionable conditions & low wages. Here in NYC, @1199SEIU & grassroots orgs have been struggling to get PPE to these workers, whose employers are not supplying it. It seems that while their work is indispensable, their lives are not.
