The ProPublica union has voted to authorize a strike. Around 150 journalists, videographers, copy editors and more voted to authorize, with 92% of the union voting yes. ProPublica allegedly rejected restrictions on replacing jobs with AI, and hasn't met other union concerns.

This is insane. Just openly working to let tech oligarchs and AI screw over every single person in the country.

National Careers in Trades Week is a national campaign that highlights various careers in the trades. We are actively working to reach people seeking rewarding, essential careers with excellent pay and strong benefits, including healthcare and pensions. While U.S. workers are experiencing a stagnant job market with fewer job postings and positions that are harder to secure, well-paid, skilled trade job openings continue to grow due to infrastructure and other projects vital to the economy. During the Second Annual National Careers in Trades Week (April 6-10, 2026), we encourage you to share your story on social media. What motivated you to pursue a career in the trades? What positive effects have you noticed from working in the trades? From April 6-10, we’ll be sharing posts all week about the advantages of joining the trades and starting your career now! Please be sure to tag your company and SMACNA in your social media post, and use the hashtags #TradeJobsWork and #CareersinTrades

As #MarchMadness begins, let’s remember that college athletes are workers, too. They do the work that powers this sport and its profits, and they deserve the fairness and respect they’ve earned. Congress should oppose the SCORE Act.

When working people have a voice on the job, our communities, our families, and our democracy are stronger. On March 28, we’re coming together to protect our freedom to join together in a union and demand more. Find a #NoKings event near you: afscme.org/no-kings

The SAVE America Act has one goal: to stop working people from voting. Congress should be working to protect our democracy, not harm it. Tell your senators don’t make voting harder for working people! act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…

The Trump admin and DOGE have spent the last year trying to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency that protects workers when banks try to cheat them. They were ordered to restore funding to the agency. When we fight, we win! reuters.com/world/us-judge…
