    RIP, Halyna Hutchins. We send our condolences to her family & co-workers at Local 600. Sarah Jones, tragically killed in 2014, was a member of the same local. Solidarity to the workers who survive them both & are fighting for the safety & dignity on the job all workers deserve.

    Fain: It's not a CEO that's going to save us. It's not a president that's going to save us. It's not me and it's not you. It's us. It's a united working class is how we're going to win!
