MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Texas is still recovering after a deadly winter storm left millions without clean running water, and now more help is coming from here in South Florida. The union said their goal is to bring relief to residents who have gone without clean water for over three weeks since the collapse of the state’s water infrastructure and electrical grid. “This is only, like a week it took us to get all this together,” Transport Workers Union President Jeffery Mitchell said. Right now, there are over half a million Texans still under a boil water order on their tap water. AdTo lend a hand, Transport Workers Union members from around South Florida and American Airlines are shipping more than 4,300 gallons of water to communities most in need in the Dallas and Houston areas.
