Worker power is stronger than any policy or politician attempting to delay our progress. Nothing can stop the momentum of organized workers fighting for the common good. Happy Labor Day!

OPEIU STATEMENT: Supreme Court Undermines the Right to Vote
(AUG. 25, 2026) OPEIU Statement: Supreme Court Undermines the Right to Vote

The Supreme Court's out-of-touch decision to allow the Trump administration's voter suppression initiative to continue is an affront to all Americans.

Nearly one-in-three Americans voted by mail in the last presidential election. It is a critical lifeline for rural, disabled and elderly voters who have difficulties making it to the polls. 

President Trump’s scheme to undermine the right to vote is unconstitutional, authoritarian and designed to dissuade people from voting at all. We wholeheartedly condemn his executive order to restrict mail-in voting and call on states to continue to fight back against his cynical attempts to undermine the right to vote.

1/4 of Americans have skipped medical care due to its cost. CEOs take home 312 times what the average worker earns. The data couldn't be clearer: the economy works for the wealthy, not for workers. aflcio.org/paywatch

As an OPEIU Local 30 steward at San Diego #Pride, Shane James said being a union member means "being able to have a support system, stability and assuredness in a time where our community is constantly in a state of fear, caution and instability at the hands of systems that do not care for us."

The United States is less safe and less free for working people than it was at this time last year, according to a new report by @ituc.bsky.social. We can and must continue the fight to protect our rights and build a better future, no matter who is in office. www.ituc-csi.org/ituc-global-...
