We Are With Chuck
Chuck Jones, President of United Steel Workers Local 1999 and members of the union
This week, President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to pick on one of our own - Chuck Jones, President of United Steel Workers Local 1999 in Indiana. Chuck's local union represents workers affected by Carrier's plans to outsource their jobs to Mexico.
After Chuck spoke up and told the truth about the number of jobs that would stay in the US according to the deal between Trump and Carrier, Trump took to Twitter. He tweeted a personal attack against Chuck and now threats have begun to come in against him and his family.
Chuck Jones has been a passionate and tireless advocate for his members and for the middle class. He has fought every day to keep jobs in Indiana. His leadership is a shining example of what we need more of in this country: conviction, integrity, and grit. He does not deserve this.
An attack on Chuck Jones and Local 1999 is an attack on all working people. Please take a minute to fill out this form with some encouraging words for Chuck, his family, and his union family members at Local 1999 (we have a sample but feel free to delete and make it your own!). These are our union brothers and sisters. Let's show them the Labor Movement stands with them.
The California Labor Federation will print out the messages and send them to Chuck Jones and USW Local 1999.

Thank you for being brave and standing up to tell the truth about the "deal" Donald Trump made with Carrier.
Trump went low when he called out you, your union, and your members on Twitter. This is terrible and unacceptable. Stay strong, Chuck & Local 1999, your union brothers and sisters are standing with you every step of the way.
