The Labor Movement stands with Seattle school bus drivers as they fight for a fair contract. These 300 Teamsters safely drive students to and from school every day. It's time for Zūm Services and SPS to come to the table with a fair deal and avoid a costly strike.

Seattle was built on the backs of generations of longshore workers. When an out-of-state cruise company comes to our public docks and uses non-union labor with substandard wages, we fight back.

When a non-union east coast cruise company like American Cruise Lines comes to Seattle and hires non-union workers, the Labor Movement shows up. We are proud to join ILWU to fight back and protect good union jobs 🪧

America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today. The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

This Labor Day, remember what organizing has brought us | Op-Ed
Without workers organizing to fight back, we are headed for worsening income inequality, political polarization and a total evisceration of the middle class.

On Monday, thousands of Washington State workers walked out to demand a fair contract. Public servants like those at Fircrest keep our state running every day. It’s time for Washington to give these workers a contract that respects their work and invests in public services. @wfse.org

This morning, grocery workers and consumer advocates rallied at Seattle City Hall to support legislation banning grocery surveillance pricing. This is common-sense policy to protect consumers from targeted AI-enabled price gouging. Grocery prices are already too high. @ufcw3000.bsky.social

What if the prices you paid weren't based on the product, but on what the store knows about you? This is called surveillance pricing, and with AI, it could reshape how stores squeeze shoppers. Join us in telling the Seattle City Council to ban Surveillance Pricing and protect consumers!

More than half of contracted workers at SeaTac Airport lack affordable healthcare. These are the people pushing wheelchairs, serving guests, and cleaning airplanes. A world-class airport shouldn’t come at the expense of the workers who make it possible.
