Thank you, Senator Sanders. ✊
Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @Steelworkers for better wages, benefits & working conditions. Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation. I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.
