Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

These harmful, violent federal government actions must end. ICE must immediately stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces.

“In the face of the league and teams' actions, the players remain undeterred, unafraid, and unwavering in their commitment to doing what is necessary to secure a transformational new CBA.”

When nurses are outside, something is wrong inside.

America’s unions stand in solidarity with the 15,000 @nynurses.bsky.social on strike today fighting for safe staffing, workplace protections and health care.

Like all workers, nurses deserve to work in safe conditions!

The nurses want to be inside performing their jobs and caring for their patients in a safe environment. Hospital management needs to recognize that safe staffing saves lives. #NursesCareforNY

President Trump says if he gets a bill from Congress that would substantially lower ACA health insurance costs, he may VETO it.

That’s not trying to make life more affordable.
Trump Says He May Veto Extension of Health Care Subsidies
President Donald Trump said Sunday he may veto a bill to extend Obamacare subsidies if Congress sent one to his desk.

For months, we’ve made clear that we won’t accept higher health care costs, lost jobs or bare-bones coverage dressed up as a solution to politicians’ self-imposed crisis.

When workers stand together, we can build a successful and bipartisan coalition to protect working families.

The horrifying acts of this admin’s militarized immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago and cities nationwide are not about safety. They’re about power, and they’re putting innocent working people in danger.

These harmful, violent federal actions must end.
The horrifying ICE actions in Minneapolis, Chicago, and my hometown of Portland are putting workplaces and working people in danger. They must stop.

Scabby has a message for Commissioner Silver and Commissioner Engelbert: pay the players what you owe them!

The nearly 15 million workers of the AFL-CIO—including 7 million working women across the country—stand in solidarity with our WNBPA family in demanding @wnba.com Commissioner Engelbert and @nba.com Commissioner Silver pay WNBA players what they’re owed. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT.

Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

Hey @wnba.com: it’s time to pay the players what you owe them.

Today the WNBPA is taking their fight for a fair contract right to the league and the streets of NY. Solidarity with the players as they mobilize for an equitable share of the profits THEY create.

The Trump admin’s reckless ICE operations are trampling on working people’s fundamental rights and freedoms.

We demand that ICE stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces before even more innocent people are hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4sFzgGL

Costs are rising on everything — people can’t afford for their ACA health insurance bills to explode, too.

But Congress can fix this. It’s time for lawmakers to put working people first and end this health care crisis.
