Labor Unions Organize Against ICE

[Omaha Steve]

From email: ICE has brought terror from city to city. Kids are afraid to go to school. Workers are afraid to go to work. So, labor unions are stepping up to unite behind ending ICE violence.

The AFL-CIO, American Postal Workers Union, Communications Workers of America, and SEIU are among the many unions who took a stand recently to tell ICE to stay out of our communities. National Nurses United even called for the abolition of ICE.

Organized labor recognizes that the administration’s violence severely hurts workers, and everyone else. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said, “The Trump administration’s reckless Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are trampling on working people’s fundamental rights and freedoms: to work with dignity and raise our families without the threat of violence from our government, and to safely return home to our loved ones at the end of the day.”

1. I really haven't seen people so united about anything, maybe not even in my lifetime

We need to keep standing strong, everywhere.
