Colorado AFL-CIO:
This bill leaves it up to the WORKERS themselves, not politicians, to decide whether they want to form a union and negotiate a contract. Workers should have the freedom to choose what they want instead of letting politicians decide for them.#coleghttps://t.co/p1dgkQcTip

Connecticut AFL-CIO:
Outrageous. The federal prison in Danbury is so understaffed that it's common for cooks, teachers, nurses & maintenance staff to be forced to fill in as corrections officers. BOP needs to increase staffing levels immediately. @AFGENational @AfgeLocal1661 https://t.co/7l0jc5MtI2

Finally players are getting paid for their work. These #WordsofChizdom came from a losing coach who got $11+ million dollar buyout when he was fired. If winning means so much how about giving that money from losing to the team that wins a national championship. https://t.co/xLMZBygQ8q
