Recently on our radio program I said all workers are essential and all #workersmatter and that we need to respect work and workers, and not just in times of crisis.

I decided to thank my union Brothers/Sisters.

I hope you will add your thanks and tell the stories of your work

Thanks to my @Teamsters brothers/sisters heroes on the front lines of this global health crisis for delivering America’s needs

Thanks @Marc_Perrone and terrific members of @UFCW for keeping to food distribution lines flowing, shelves stocked (except the TP), and sending us off with a friendly smile. You’re dear to me as my G-mother retired from local 880 in Cleveland with dignity/security

Thank you to @The_UWUA members who keep the power lines strung and the lights on.
Without your bravery and sacrifice we’re literally sitting in the dark without Netflix or a cellphone to occupy our seclusion.
Stay safe. We need you.
