Labor Day is a reminder of whose side we’re on: working people. While billionaires are getting richer, Oregon AFSCME members are fighting for better wages, safer jobs, and the public services Oregonians rely on. This Labor Day, let’s celebrate what workers have won and organize for what comes next.

Local 88 member Adolfo Jimenez saw union power firsthand. When his and others’ jobs were at risk, he and his union siblings organized, showed up, and helped protect his position and other public service jobs. This is the power of a union. 💚

After more than a year of bargaining, Research Workers United has reached a tentative first contract with OHSU! If ratified, the agreement will raise wages and move 1,700 research workers closer to a living wage. This is what solidarity looks like. ✊
