The murder of Charlie Kirk is an abomination, and NABTU and its affiliated unions condemn it in the strongest terms. Political violence has no place in our national discourse, yet it has become far too common. Enough is enough.

Let’s also mention the high school student who lost his life today and the 2 others fighting…in a similar shooting……that continue to happen….

Now that’s leadership🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

It's interesting how this is panning out.A 200 yard shot with a guy that moves like a ninja, hasn't been caught but everyone is creating a narrative fed by imagination,anger,and fear.One hundred and twenty four people were murdered in America that day,three are heard about,one is politicized.Yes it is tragic,but no more tragic than anyone else losing their life.There is so much stuff going on right now but this is what everyone is concentrating on.

thoughts and prayers

He should not have been shot, but lots not celebrate him as some big thinker either. His schtick was was to spew BS faster than anyone who is intellectually honest and serious about debate could refute, and then declare victory. His last words in life were literally a deflection away from the problem of mass shootings, by making an irrelevant analogy to gang violence.

F*** you on American piece of s*** you ever hear what he had to say about unions he did not like unions he's a Christian nationalist racist he got what he deserved. The real news was f****** Russia's flying f****** drones into Poland a NATO Ally That's the f****** news in today's September 11th we should remember that you know Trump's buddy Saudi Arabia orchestrated it I saw it live I saw the towers fall

Any NABTU statement on the workers killed by fascist ICE aggression?

He hated unions and the working class. Stop licking the wingtips of our enemies. You're pathetic.

Obama, Biden . DEI are Jew haters ! Stop ! Stop ! We are Americans who fought and died for the freedom of the world ! My unions dues must stop now on anything to do with this DEI and anything and I mean anything to against the Jewish people ! muslim pedo’s any liberal fucking bastard our forefathers died for security of free people and I and many others will have no problem securing there rights . Choose wisely my union friends there are plenty of communist in are ranks . The stupid will follow and the righteous will prevail
