Teachers go above and beyond in the classroom every day. America’s unions thank all educators who create opportunities for our kids to learn and grow, and we’ll keep fighting until every teacher can have the strong union contract they need and deserve.

Grocery stores across the country are switching from traditional printed labels to electronic shelf labels (ESLs), enabling them to change prices in an instant. It does not need to be this way. Policymakers can step in to ban the use of ESLs. 🗣️ www.ufcw.org/actions/camp...

300,000+ federal workers at the VA getting their union contracts restored is a HUGE win for workers and veterans. Union-busting wasn’t “putting veterans first.” Federal workers can better serve our communities when they have a stronger voice on the job. nyti.ms/4dkDFJO

Our hearts are with our union brother Alex Jeffrey Pretti’s loved ones. America’s unions demand that ICE leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt and that local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability.

Alex Pretti was kind and didn’t often discuss politics, friends and colleagues said. His family sharply disputed the Trump administration’s version of the shooting.
