Labor unions help raise wages and standards for all workers. When unions are strong, every worker does better. #StrengthInUnity @aft.org @ctaflcio.bsky.social @aflcio.org
Opinion: This Labor Day, let's honor workers by actually listening to them
When workers have a voice on the job and a seat at the table, they can finally negotiate on a level playing field.

Today is #EqualPayDay. Women still earn just 75¢ for every $1 paid to men—meaning they must work 3 extra months to match men’s earnings from last year. Unions have helped close the gender pay gap. See how 10 Wisconsin educators won a $450k settlement with support from their union. bit.ly/3FDCKVX
