Dear Colleague,
An attack against one is an attack against all. By now you’ve likely seen that President-elect Trump insulted a Steelworkers local union president on Twitter and we cannot be silent. Union members across the country are speaking out on social media using the hashtag #ImWithChuck.
Please jump in on the Twitter conversation today with messages of solidarity for Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, which represents workers at the Carrier Corporation in Indiana.
Use #ImWithChuck when you tweet about Trump’s attack on USW Local 1999 – and here are items that you can retweet right now.
From the Steelworkers:
#ImWithChuck because since 2000 the USW has been involved in over 50 trade cases protecting workers’ jobs like those at Carrier!

Dues have helped us file 45+ cases against bad trade; saving jobs in tire, paper, steel, etc. We walk the walk. #imwithchuck #wearewithchuck https://t.co/PlGznkwrTS

Chuck is a hero not a scapegoat: you, others know about Carrier because of his, members' tireless work since day 1 to save ALL jobs there. https://t.co/C9fvwajHY7

From the Indiana AFL-CIO:
It was only a matter of time. He's been attacking his own workers for years. #ImWithChuck https://t.co/upGMhxfjmS

And from Montel Williams:
@realDonaldTrump fight with @steelworkers childish, petty & makes him look very small.
This union member is proudly with Chuck. #Union
