Feeling the pressure @HiltonBayfront? 😎
This is how Local 30 workers have been feeling for years! Frustrated and tired. Now we’re on strike to win what we deserve.

. @LaGovJeffLandry has signed into law HB173 by Republican Rep. Bryan Fontenot to make it a crime to approach within 25 feet of a police officer on the job if the officer orders the person to stop. Violations carry up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. #lalege

@mgordonolson @TheLensNOLA @mayorcantrell @NOLACityCouncil @JPMorrell @lesliharris @voteeugenegreen @otforus @freddiekingiii @CmGiarrusso The @NOLACityCouncil funded this program as the article states, and we were proud to work with advocates to do so, but like many other projects departments have failed to make expenditures to move forward. Will hold a public hearing to get to the bottom of this delay.

Many immigrants struggle with accessing mental health care because of immigration status, finances, or stigma.
Each of us should be able to access the care we need without barriers.

WAWU members voted unanimously at a mass meeting last night to set a STRIKE DEADLINE for Tuesday, May 21st. The WWU administration is not budging on our financial proposals and other key priorities like bereavement leave. Now, 1,100 of us are preparing to walk off the job ✊
