Despite White House claims that we are in the “golden age,” working people aren’t buying it. Fifty-four percent disapprove of the president, with the majority of Americans blaming his policies for the poor economy.

Don’t let the name fool you—there’s nothing beautiful about a bill that guts Medicaid, slashes public services, and hands tax breaks to billionaires. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on the working class. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

No matter where we live or work, billionaires and those in power often try to silence workers organizing for dignity and justice. @solidaritycenter.bsky.social stands with those workers and that’s why they’re a vital part of the global labor movement. #WorkersRights #Solidarity

Workers Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have died on the job & to reflect on workplace safety. Trump’s cuts will make jobs less safe -- by gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), workers will lose safety protections & more workers will get hurt.

This is what we’re up against: the rich trying to buy public policy. Whether it's Elon offering $1 million to voters in Wisconsin or landlords paying folks to fake grassroots support in Concord, the wealthy are no longer pretending to play fair. www.mercurynews.com/2025/04/04/l...

Workers have the right to organize. PERIOD. #AB288 by @asmtinamckinnor.bsky.social ensures that there's a backstop for all CA workers trying to organize! @teamsters.bsky.social calaborfed.org/press-releas...
More than a century ago, American workers fought and died to win the right to organize and collectively bargain. Today, more workers than ever say they want to be part of a union. Yet workers who try to organize are routinely intimidated and fired while they attempt to unionize and face corporations unwilling to bargain even once the union is established. AB 288 ensures that workers can enforce their right to organize and build a better life as federal labor law was intended to do. - Lorena Gonzalez, President of the California Federation of Labor Unions, AFL-CIO

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Statement by the @californialabor.bsky.social: Illegally stripping federal workers of their collective bargaining rights is union busting at an unprecedented level. We will not sit back and let working people’s rights be destroyed.

An immigrant doesn't stand between you and a good job. Elon Musk and his billionaire friends do.

🚨 The White House is expected to issue an executive order TODAY to dismantle the United States Postal Service. Call Speaker Mike Johnson and tell him to say HELL NO to this order, and to support letter carriers and postal workers. 📲 202-224-3121

Across the board, more union members voted for Democratic candidates than the general public. As Democrats decide on their new leadership and next steps, they must re-center working people. Working people must be at the table. And we've got a plan. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If Democrats Want to Reconnect With the Working Class, They Need to Start Listening to Unions
The Democrats blew it with non-union workers in the 2024 election. Unions have a plan to get the party on message.
