Advancing the needs of working people, unions & the labor movement in Congress. Solidarity forever.
64 years ago, federal workers won the right to unionize leading to fairer workplaces and better conditions.
Today, those rights are under attack. Federal workers serve our veterans, keep our water safe, and protect our communities.
We stand with them today and always. ✊

Great meeting today with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Government Affairs Director, Dean Warsh. As a proud IBEW member, it’s always good to talk about how we can stand up for workers by advancing strong, pro-labor policies such as the Faster Labor Contracts Act.

It’s an embarrassment that the federal minimum wage hasn’t been raised in over 16 years. This summer, Republicans voted to give tax breaks to billionaires. When will they finally vote to support the American worker?

Tipped workers earn every dollar they make.
House Republicans want to weaken the rules that protect them, even though the sub-minimum wage hasn’t changed in decades.
If your paycheck depends on tips, this bill puts you at risk.
It’s not a worker protection act — it’s a corporate giveaway.

During the pandemic, our nurses stepped up to the call to action.
I stand with @nynurses.bsky.social who are fighting for a fair contract and safe staffing conditions to continue providing the care New Yorkers need and deserve.

Shoutout to the NYC private nurses who delivered strike notices to management today!
Nurses don't want to strike, but are ready if management refuses to negotiate a fair contract that protects patient care.

Congrats to the workers of UFCW Local 152 at TQ Baking in Vineland on ratifying a strong new contract. They secured across-the-board raises, affordable union healthcare, better retirement benefits, and improved safety and time off. Proof that when workers stick together, they win.

Last week, I spoke with workers in DC from The Duck & The Peach, La Collina, and The Wells, about their plans to unionize. It’s clear they want what every worker deserves: a fair process and a voice at work. I stand with them and support their right to organize without intimidation or retaliation.

We're back! Baristas on ULP strike have once again brought the picket line to Starbucks's biggest regional distribution center in York, PA.
We're making sure that Starbucks hears us: we need finalized contracts, an end to union-busting, and resolution to all outstanding unfair labor practices.

Our labor laws are so weakly enforced, and the penalties so minimal, that for many companies, breaking the law is just cheaper than following it.

Coming from the trades, I know workers deserve a fair day’s pay and a safe place to do their jobs. The LETS Protect Workers Act will finally crack down on bad employers who break the law and give the working people building this country the rights they deserve.
