We're leaving X. X isn't the space for workers' rights. It's anti-union, anti-worker, and anti-democratic. We're not backing down—we're just moving to where the fight matters. Follow us on BlueSky: https://t.co/dlXQeYChDU

Ian McArdle from @CWU on @respectatworkie: “During the last general election workers lobbied their candidates, knocking on doors demanding change. And it works. As a result, the majority of parliamentarians have committed to the pledge in support of collective bargaining.”

CWU stands with U.S. postal workers and the NALC as they mobilize 295,000 members to fight Trump’s threat to privatize the USPS. Their message is clear: "Hands off the Postal Service!" #PostalWorkersUnited #StrongerTogether #UnionStrong
