2025 was NOT a good year for worker rights in the US: "perhaps the biggest act of union busting in the nation’s history" "millions of workers being left without access to justice" "use of immigration enforcement..to quell...freedom of expression, assembly, and association"

When entire sections of the working class are denied their rights to organise, bargain, and strike, as is too often the case for migrant and platform workers, do they really have democracy? That's why unions organise alongside them from the shop floor to the UN. Join us:
