8% of households are going hungry. 16% of adults can’t pay all their bills in full. 26% skipped medical care due to costs. ALL while billionaires rake in record pay and bonuses. This economy isn’t working for us. Let’s vote to change that. betterinaunion.org

Working people are not asking for luxury. We want some breathing room so we can live instead of barely making ends meet. This November, we’re going to elect candidates who will create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires. Join us: betterinaunion.org
Our commonsense political agenda: afford groceries, go on vacation sometimes, retire eventually, see a movie once in a while | It's better in a union, AFL-CIO | My union, my right, my vote.

Working people should not have to accept “bad things” from AI that could impact our lives. We can’t let Big Tech billionaires regulate themselves. That’s how we got into this mess. We need real AI guardrails to protect our jobs and rights.

America’s labor laws are broken, favoring rich bosses and making it harder for working people to organize unions. Workers want good union jobs, and we need elected leaders who will stand with us and fight for us so we can create an economy that works for everyone.
