Federal workers have survived the longest shutdown in history and multiple funding cliffs. It's time for Congress to act: pass full-year appropriations bills that protect workers' rights and ensure stable public services. #FullyFundServices

The longest shutdown in history just ended, and federal workers are already facing another cliff. Americans need year-round access to Medicare, veterans services, and Social Security benefits. Congress: finish the job and pass full appropriations. #StopShutdownPolitics

We can have better. We can have universal healthcare. We can have tuition-free college. We can have affordable housing. We can have livable wages. We can have UNIONS FOR ALL. But none of this happens unless we stand together in unions. Collective power is how we win a system that works for all of us—not just the wealthy few.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Collins can’t praise veterans one day and undermine their union rights the next. We see through the hypocrisy and we support those who are organizing to hold the line! #UnionStrongForVets

@TheSOC: Social Security field offices down nearly 20% of staff, leaving Americans waiting months for benefits. We join workers who are telling Administrator Bisignano: Fully staff offices, protect data, make rich pay fair share. The evidence demands action! #SocialSecurityStrong

Social Security workers are telling the Trump administration: Americans deserve fully staffed offices with professional service, protected private data, and expanded benefits. It's time for government to act on these worker demands!

If the minimum wage had actually kept up with worker productivity, folks would be earning over $26 an hour—more than $50,000 a year.

The survival of programs that protect our health and safety, that serve our seniors and veterans and people with disabilities, that provide housing and educational opportunities for low and middle-income families-- are all at risk. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

A lot of us start contributing to Social Security as teenagers at our first jobs. That money should be there for us when it’s time to collect.

“Somebody that makes $170 million pays the same $10,000 into Social Security as a family of four that made $170,000” Former SSA Commissioner @MartinOMalley is totally correct, it’s time to scrap the cap!

Don’t know about y’all, but I think health care shouldn't be expensive. The Big Ugly Bill cut health care access for 17 million Americans by slashing Medicaid funding. It's about damn time Congress prioritizes people over profit!

Call center workers who help Americans navigate Medicaid and the ACA have faced unfair layoffs from their boss, federal contractor Maximus. These workers have organized massive strikes across the South over the last few months. Now they're coming to Washington.

In 2021, we learned once again that working people have power when they take collective action. #HappyNewYear! #1u usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

UPS installed cameras instead of air conditioning — during a heatwave. So workers organized: rallies, press coverage, public support. UPS installed the fans and apologized. labornotes.org/2022/08/ups-sa…
