Workers are the experts on their jobs. That’s why unions are leading the way on AI, bargaining for a say in how it’s used at work every step of the way.

*9 to 5* may have been a comedy, but for so many of us women fighting for respect on the job, it felt all too real. Dolly helped make us laugh at the boss and imagine what we could change together. Happy 9 to 5 Day! We miss you, Dolly.

Trump wants to brag about tax breaks—but working people are feeling the pain that his big bill made health care costs skyrocket and everything is more expensive.

Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas could have been written by the trade union movement. His call to put human dignity at the center of technological change is a powerful affirmation of what working people will continue to fight for.

Fox News’ polling shows that voters across party lines agree: It has become too damn expensive to live. Working people don’t need another lecture about how great the economy is. We need elected leaders who will actually bring down costs and raise wages.

Record gas and diesel prices mean working people pay more to get to work, and more for nearly everything trucks deliver. Families are already stretched thin. They should not be forced to absorb another round of higher costs.

Gloria Steinem was a hero and inspiration to me and so many women. She fought for pay equity and women’s rights and knew unions were a path to both. It meant so much that she shared my excitement seeing more women leading the labor movement. Rest in power, Gloria. We’ll miss you.
