Today is a sacred day for SMART members and people across our two nations. Today we celebrate Veterans Day in the United States, and we observe Remembrance Day in Canada.
In the U.S., we take the day to honor the men and women who served our country selflessly in the Armed Forces. Every single one of us has had our life changed by our veterans. Today, along with every other day, is an opportunity to reflect on and cherish all that they have done for us.
In Canada, Remembrance Day gives us the chance to remember our Canadian heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. There are no words to express our gratitude for the servicemembers and their families who gave everything to protect our rights and freedoms. I know every single SMART member, across the United States and Canada, feels that way.
We owe so much to all veterans and servicemembers. Across our two nations, they are a true example of our union’s values: service, solidarity and dedicating yourself to your fellow citizens.
Many veterans now build and move our two nations as SMART members, bringing their courage and selflessness from the armed forces to our union. It is my personal honor to welcome these heroes into SMART, whether as sheet metal workers, roofers, bus operators or railroaders. And it speaks volumes to the character of our organization that so many servicemembers find a fulfilling life and career in our trades, including many leaders throughout our union. That should make every single one of us proud.
Today and every day, all of us at SMART pay tribute to our veterans, and we remember every fallen hero who did not return home. To all our veterans: We thank you for your service, your sacrifice and for standing up for all of us.
Happy Veterans Day and Remembrance Day. Please stay safe.

Temperatures were rising and spring was in the Maryland air on March 12, 2025. SMART Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia had just finished a shift for a signatory contractor and picked up his five-year old son from school. He was headed home with his son strapped into a car seat designed for children with disabilities.
As he drove on Baltimore Avenue in College Park, Md., a law enforcement officer pulled him over.
Abrego Garcia thought it was just a routine traffic stop. It was anything but.
The events that followed marked the start of a monthslong saga for Abrego Garcia during which he was unlawfully sent to El Salvador and held at the notorious CECOT prison. They also reveal just what’s at stake when we say, “an injury to one is an injury to all.” Because the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not just about one man. It is about all of us — and the rights we all stand to lose when one person is deprived of theirs.

The right to work
Kilmar Abrego Garcia joined Local 100 as an apprentice in January 2025. Five years prior, an immigration judge had granted Abrego Garcia “withholding from removal” status, which prohibited the government from deporting him to El Salvador on account of a credible fear of persecution and gang violence. Like many SMART members and millions of taxpayers in the United States who are not citizens, Abrego Garcia’s status authorized him to work in the United States — and to union representation.
As SMART House Counsel Luke Rebecchi noted, “millions of people in this country, many of our members, are not citizens but have every lawful right to be here and to work. And it’s incumbent upon the union to represent them.”
Abrego Garcia’s immigration status prevented the federal government from sending him to El Salvador, what Rebecchi called “the one and only place that he could not be removed to.” But that is exactly what the federal government did, just days after he was detained. The federal government later sought to justify his deportation by describing Abrego Garcia as a gang member, but it never gave Abrego Garcia theopportunity to defend himself against the allegation. It simply removed him.
General President Coleman speaks at a press conference in Maryland
When Abrego Garcia arrived in El Salvador, he was immediately imprisoned in the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT); a prison known worldwide for alleged human rights abuses. He was later moved to a different prison in response to public pressure, but according to United States Senator for Maryland Chris Van Hollen — who met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador — he had no contact with his wife, his children or legal counsel for months. His attorneys have since alleged that he was tortured and lost 30 pounds during his imprisonment.
Following Abrego Garcia’s removal to El Salvador, and in the months since, various media personalities and governmental officials have resorted to attacking his character and made all sorts of allegations against him, as justification for his removal. These attacks made headlines, but they do not change the central fact of the matter: The federal government did not give Kilmar Abrego Garcia an opportunity to defend himself before he was summarily removed to El Salvador. In other words, he was deprived of due process.
The constitutional right to due process
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution states: “No person shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law.” The 14th Amendment adds: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
As SMART House Counsel, Rebecchi works to protect the rights of SMART members on a daily basis. He explained that the wording in the Constitution around these rights to due process is very specific — and it protects every one of us from unfair persecution.
“The Constitution mentions ‘citizens’ in many places, but it specifically states ‘no person’ [in the Fifth Amendment],” Rebecchi said. “The use of ‘person’ was intentional, and it protects all persons in the United States regardless of their citizenship status. Before the government deprives a person in the United States of life, liberty or property — for instance, by imprisoning them, fining them or deporting them — that person is entitled to a fair hearing and the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges. Without process of law, without an opportunity to present your case, to have your liberty decided by someone who’s neutral and impartial — without that, we’re all at the whims of somebody else, of whoever occupies the Oval Office. Without due process, then it’s whatever they say. That’s a terrifying reality to live in.”
Rebecchi noted that the right to due process has particular significance for SMART members.
“None of us would stand for an employer who just says, ‘no, you don’t work here anymore.’ We negotiate contracts that ensure that members have a right to be heard,” he said. “That protects them at work. That’s one of the guarantees of the labor movement.”
SMART General President Michael Coleman summed it up succinctly following a press conference in April: “When Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, he was denied his right to due process, and we at SMART are fighting to ensure he receives the treatment he is granted under law — just like we would, and we always will, fight for the rights of every single SMART member.”
Justice delayed
On March 24, 2025, Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer, sued the government on behalf of herself, Kilmar andtheir son. Almost immediately, the federal government admitted that Abrego Garcia’s disappearance to El Salvador was an “error,” and on April 4, Judge Paula Xinis ordered the government to return Abrego Garcia to the United States. The government appealed the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court. On April 10, the Supreme Court ruled against the federal government and ordered the federal government to facilitate his return to the United States.
And yet, Abrego Garcia remained in an El Salvador prison until early June.
“It’s just not enough to admit that you made a mistake,” General President Coleman said in April. “You need to fix it.”
From coast to coast, SMART members fight for justice
The magnitude of Abrego Garcia’s case became clear immediately, and SMART leapt into action. SMART leaders and members rallied with Abrego Garcia’s family, lawyers and supporters, demanding justice and due process. General President Coleman appeared on CNN to emphasize the importance of due process and constitutional rights.
SMART leaders also helped rally the labor movement to the cause. General President Coleman, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) President Jimmy Williams, UNITE HERE President Gwen Mills and Liz Shuler, president of the AFL-CIO, sent a letter to Ambassador Milena Mayorga of El Salvador on May 1, 2025, calling on the Salvadoran government to immediately release Abrego Garcia and respect his right to due process.
International leaders were joined by SMART members from coast to coast. On May 1, members of Local 80 helped lead the Detroit May Day parade, with Business Agent Jason Grunenwald delivering a speech demanding justice for Abrego Garcia. And in Los Angeles, Local 105 officers and members rallied with sister unions and members of Congress, demanding thatthe government bring Abrego Garcia home and give him due process.
“Today it’s Kilmar, tomorrow it could be me,” said Local 105 member Alex Calderon. “Tomorrow it could be any one of us or our loved ones. Please fight to bring Kilmar back home.”
An injury to one is an injury to all
It hasn’t only been SMART members fighting for Abrego Garcia’s due process. Across North America — and even across the world — workers demonstrated the meaning of union solidarity in the battle for our rights. That included Iron Workers in Boston, UNITE HERE members in Las Vegas, transit workers in Southern California, railroad workers in Maryland, the Unión General de Trabajadores in Spain and many more.
Why? Because union members know, better than most other people in the world, the power of solidarity.
“Kilmar was denied his due process, which is not only wrong — it’s also a very betrayal of what we stand for in this country,” said former Local 105 Business Manager Steve Hinson.
Abrego Garcia returns to the United States — but the case continues
Abrego Garcia was finally brought back to the United States in early June. But he was immediately indicted on new criminal charges of alleged human trafficking. Abrego Garcia has pled not guilty, and his attorneyshave steadfastly maintained that the criminal charges are baseless and nothing more than political retribution.
In August, Abrego Garcia was released on bond from Putnam County Jail in Tennessee and traveled home to Maryland, where he finally reunited with his family.
But just three days later, while he was following the law and attending a mandatory Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-in in Baltimore, he was taken back into custody. The federal government has since notified Abrego Garcia’s attorneys of its intent to deport him to Eswatini — a country he has no relation to — after he rejected a deal in which, in exchange for a guilty plea, the government would have deported him to Costa Rica.
“At SMART, we fight for the principle of due process every single day. We stand for the fundamental American value that all our members, and everyone in this country, are innocent until proven guilty. Let’s be very clear: Kilmar deserves his day in court. And if the government wants to send him to jail, they need to prove his guilt in court,” said General President Coleman after ICE took Abrego Garcia back into custody.
He added: “As of [Monday] morning [August 25], Kilmar has filed a lawsuit challenging his detention and deportation, ‘unless and until he [has] a fair trial in an immigration court, as well as his full appeal rights.’ We stand with Kilmar’s family and supporters in demanding he receive a fair trial and the chance to make his case in court.”
A $2 billion megaproject that was set to create more than 3,000 union jobs in Massachusetts is under threat after Congress passed the 2025 tax bill, which President Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025.
The Allston Multimodal Project, which had a project labor agreement in place, would have put workers on the job straightening out the Massachusetts Turnpike throughout Boston’s northwest corner, opened up land for development and invested in public transit. SMART sheet metal workers and other union construction members would have played a key role, including building a new train-and-bus hub.
But on Friday, July 18, the Trump administration’s Department of Transportation confirmed that DOT is terminating $327 million that Massachusetts won in 2023 for the Allston Multimodal Project. Massachusetts will keep just $8 million from the grant.
“Unfortunately, some of the harmful pieces of the spending bill are already starting to impact SMART members and our communities, just weeks after the president signed it into law,” said SMART General President Michael Coleman. “This project wasn’t only going to create thousands of union jobs, including for SMART sheet metal workers. It was going to invest in local communities and the state’s transportation network. Because funding has been so drastically cut, all of that is in jeopardy.”
The project has been in the works for more than a decade. The Boston Globe reported that it “was Governor Deval Patrick, after all, who first promised this new transit hub, dubbed West Station, alongside the turnpike realignment, 11 years ago.”
But the pieces only came together in March of last year, when the Biden administration awarded the project a $335 million grant through the Department of Transportation’s Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods program.
Even with the rescinded funding, Mass. Governor Maura Healey said in a statement that her administration “remain[s] committed to doing everything we can, working with our incredible project partners, to make Allston Multimodal a reality.”
But the fact remains that the pulling of federal grant money directly threatens SMART members’ jobs.
“The Healey-Driscoll Administration is conducting a strategic review of the project to determine a path forward,” SMART Northeast Regional Council President Bob Butler said in an email to Local 17 members. “Local 17 stands with our fellow union partners, as well as our community and government allies in demanding the funding be restored — and in fighting to keep this project alive.”
On Monday, August 25, Kilmar Abrego Garcia attended a mandatory check-in with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore, where he was detained. In response, SMART General President Michael Coleman issued the following statement:
“On Monday morning, just days after he finally saw his family again, Kilmar followed the law by attending a mandatory check-in with ICE — and he was detained. According to his lawyers, ICE did not say why they are detaining Kilmar or where they are taking him.
“At SMART, we fight for the principle of due process every single day. We stand for the fundamental American value that all our members, and everyone in this country, are innocent until proven guilty. Let’s be very clear: Kilmar deserves his day in court. And if the government wants to send him to jail, they need to prove his guilt in court.
“As of this morning, Kilmar has filed a lawsuit challenging his detention and deportation, ‘unless and until he [has] a fair trial in an immigration court, as well as his full appeal rights.’ We stand with Kilmar’s family and supporters in demanding he receive a fair trial and the chance to make his case in court.”
Following reports Friday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been freed from Putnam County Jail and is on his way to Maryland to be reunited with his family, SMART General President Michael Coleman issued the following statement.
“Kilmar Abrego Garcia, like every single SMART member and every person in this country, has a constitutional right to due process. We demanded that Kilmar be granted that right in March, when he was first illegally deported to El Salvador; in April, when the United States Supreme Court issued a decision that backed a federal judge’s order requiring the government to facilitate Kilmar’s return; and in June, when he arrived back in the U.S.
“Today, after months apart, Kilmar will finally have the chance to reunite with his family. We are grateful that Kilmar, his wife, Jennifer, and his children will be able to see each other soon. And we remain firm in our commitment to the rights of our members. As we said from the beginning, this isn’t about one man — it is about ensuring our constitutional rights are protected, for the sake of all SMART members and everyone in this country. We will always fight for due process for every single member of our union.
“We call for Kilmar’s rights to be protected as the legal process moves forward.”
As the spending legislation known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” made its way through the United States House and Senate in spring and summer of 2025, SMART had a constant presence in the offices of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. SMART’s Governmental Affairs staff met repeatedly with representatives and senators, explaining how provisions in the legislation that cut tax credits, infrastructure funding, clean energy funding, Medicaid funding and more would negatively impact SMART members’ work opportunities and health care coverage.
“Cutting the waste and fraud, nobody’s against that. But these cuts go way deeper than that,” said SMART General President Michael Coleman in a video message to members explaining the bill. “These cuts are actually going to have an impact on our plans and our members. We’re all for cutting waste in the federal government, but they’re going to have to end up cutting programs that are essential for regular, working people.”
Unfortunately, in a move that says a lot about how politics works in today’s day and age, representatives and senators moved forward with a bill that included those cuts.
While some of the worst elements of the bill — including the most extreme energy tax credit cuts and an AI provision that threatened SMART-TD bus operators — were removed due to the collective work of SMART members nationwide and the labor movement, Congress pushed through cuts to Medicaid that will cause working families to suffer and raise the costs of health care plans for SMART members and families, cuts to tax credits that will lead to canceled projects and lost work hours for sheet metal workers, and more. And on July 4, President Trump signed the bill into law.
“Members will lose work. Costs will go up. And that just doesn’t make sense,” Coleman said in a video on tax credits cut by the bill.
Across the construction sector, the bill threatens millions of jobs and work hours, which translates to billions of dollars in lost annual wages and benefits. Members may not feel the consequences immediately. But in the years to come, construction workers and their families, alongside working people everywhere, will lose out on important jobs.
“Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects,” said North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey in a statement.
The legislation signed by President Trump included a tax exemption on overtime earnings. However, despite advocacy and proposed fixes, the bill does not extend this benefit to employees covered by the Railway Labor Act — AKA, railroaders.
“Our members sacrifice holidays, family time and weekends to keep this country running. Excluding them from a policy aimed at easing the burden on working Americans is more than disheartening,” said SMART-TD National Legislative Director Jared Cassity. “But we’re not walking away from this. We’ll keep pushing until our voices are heard.”
The cuts to Medicaid are simply devastating across the board. They don’t take effect right away, but once they do, they will hurt blue-collar workers and their families.
“The biggest impact will be on families that are fighting to keep their healthcare. Right now, the CBO scores that 16 million people will lose their healthcare coverage, which inevitably is going to lead to preventable deaths in the future,” said Coleman in another video to members. “And for members who don’t think cuts to Medicaid are going to have an impact on them, I can tell you that history has proven that any cuts to Medicaid lead to an increase in the costs of the health plans that we fund and that we fight for every single day.”
SMART will continue to advocate for members and working families, at the federal level and in states and cities across the United States. But make no mistake: The bill signed into law in July will hurt workers for years to come.

Cleveland-Cliffs, a steel manufacturer, reportedly canceled a $500 million project in Middletown, Ohio, in June 2025 — leading to a loss in work hours for union sheet metal workers in the area.
“This would have been a solid project for Local 24, especially our Dayton-area membership,” said Local 24 Business Manager Jeff Hunley.
Local radio station WYSO 91.3 reported: “The planned switch from a coal-based steel plant to hydrogen was expected to create 1,200 union construction jobs and protect 2,500 existing positions.”
WYSO noted that Cleveland-Cliffs had planned to replace its coal steel-making furnace with a hydrogen-powered system, supported in part by a $500 million grant from the Department of Energy. That grant came from the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law under the Biden administration in 2022.
But Steel Industry News reported that the Trump administration’s shift away from clean energy and its focus on fossil fuels created uncertainty for the company, and rising tariffs on steel imports “forced Cleveland-Cliffs to prioritize short-term profitability.”
Now, at least for the time being, the project has been abandoned.
Changing clean energy policies impact SMART members
Union sheet metal workers play a key role in building and converting clean energy facilities, including hydrogen, nuclear and battery plants. That’s what makes federal grants, tax credits and funding so important to SMART sheet metal workers, and why the strong labor standards included in such policies under the Biden administration were also crucial for members.
“When we work to pass laws like the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re investing in our future,” explained SMART General President Michael Coleman. “The grants and tax credits we got passed in that law are the kinds of policies that create jobs for sheet metal workers five, ten, fifteen years down the line. Unfortunately, when those types of policies are thrown in jeopardy, we see companies become less willing to invest, and projects get paused or canceled.”
“The Cleveland-Cliffs project cancelation means that the jobs Local 24 was expecting will no longer be available to members in Ohio. With the cuts to clean energy tax credits and programs in the spending bill passed by Congress, we can expect more disappointing stories like this, at least for the next few years,” he added.

I’d like to wish all of you and your families a very happy Fourth of July. Today is a day to celebrate the birth of our nation and the ideals that define our country — freedom, democracy, solidarity — and I hope every one of you is able to relax and enjoy a well-earned day with loved ones.
For many of us, today is a day for potlucks, barbecues, grilling, fireworks; for others, it may just be a day to relax with friends. For still more of us, especially our brothers and sisters in the Transportation Division, this is a day spent working, and for that, all of us are grateful beyond words.
For me, today is also about history.
July 4 marks the day that a brave group of people decided to break free from tyranny and empire in the name of liberty and democracy.
July 4 marks the beginning of a long journey for our nation, one that would enshrine principles like free speech and freedom of association — priceless for everyone living in this country, but especially for union members.
July 4 set the foundation for the many forward steps that our country has taken since, as together, trailblazing Americans have worked to make a more perfect union. That includes people like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln — and also Eugene Debs, the women of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, leaders like Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, our SMART forefathers and so many more.
And, of course, it includes all of you, the hardworking SMART members who continue to build and move our country.
I truly believe that every day, SMART members from coast to coast are making the American dream a reality, doing their part to turn the words written on July 4, 1776, into everyday life. Of course, we do that by building schools and hospitals, transporting passengers and freight, and helping provide clean air and safe communities for our neighbors. But we also do it by fighting for the principles of our union. The principle of solidarity. Of looking out for each other. Of collective power. Of fighting for the working people of America.
Those are our values as SMART members. And they are our American values as well.
So this Independence Day, as you celebrate with friends and family, I hope you take time to reflect on our core values as union members. Those same principles are what make our country the greatest in the world.
I’d like to close by paying tribute to the generations of Americans who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Your bravery and selflessness will never be forgotten.
Once again, happy Fourth of July — please stay safe, and enjoy the holiday.
