AFL-CIO ✊

What was it like to play in the 90s? We made a small edit for accuracy… turns out we didn’t need to change much. Because this still is the reality. These aren’t throwbacks. Every photo here is from the last 3 years. Read that again. #StandUpForStandards

Good luck to college basketball players today as they begin #MarchMadness! College athletes are workers, too. They put in unmatched effort and risk injury for their schools that rake in millions. Congress must oppose the SCORE Act to protect athletes’ labor and NIL rights.

Raising the standard in their league and beyond 👏 @TheWNBPA

Costs for rent, groceries, health care, utilities and more keep going up. Workers are struggling to pay bills while billionaires and corporations get even richer. Join the movement and form a union as we organize and build power for working people. aflcio.org/formaunion

Jonathan, when you're done with the gridiron, there's a place for you on the flight deck. #FlyALPAFly

Congratulations to @TheWNBPA 👏

Only half of Americans have a passport—and many don’t have the time or money needed to get one. But the SAVE America Act would require documents like a passport to vote. It’s voter suppression. Tell your senators: stop the SAVE America Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…

The USLPA congratulates the @TheWNBPA on securing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. We are inspired. Read our full statement:

When players have a real voice at the table, progress follows. Everyone from players to fans to all of labor came together to support our sisters in this fight, and we are so happy to see @TheWNBPA win this hard-fought, well-earned new deal.

They stood on business and stood up for the dignity and respect they deserve—and won. Congrats to @TheWNBPA players on reaching a historic agreement on a new contract. Women’s basketball is #BetterInAUnion!

A broad 60-day Jones Act waiver jeopardizes national security, hurts our maritime workforce & does nothing to lower gas prices for everyday Americans. Our joint statement with @MEBAUNION, @Maritime_Trades, @MMP_Union & 5 other maritime labor groups: ttd.org/news-and-media…

✊CALL TO ACTION: This Saturday, baristas and allies are hitting the ground for our DELETE THE APP day of action! Let’s show Starbucks that corporate greed & union-busting is bad for business. This is a great way to make change + get involved! Register: forms.gle/2fDcsDApukQhsQ…

Militarized immigration enforcement near our schools is every student, teacher and parent’s worst nightmare. ICE’s operations are emptying classrooms and traumatizing kids. @AFTunion member Maria testified about her encounters with federal agents in Chicago to @JudiciaryDems.

On Transit Worker Appreciation Day, we celebrate all the workers who keep our communities moving, and get us to work every morning and back home safely at the end of the work day. America’s unions stand with them in their fight for dignity, respect and safety on the job.

On Transit Worker Appreciation Day, the TWU salutes all of our hardworking Operators, Mechanics, Conductors, Cleaners and more who move America from coast-to-coast! We have worked since 1934 to better the lives of all transit workers while keeping the traveling public safe.

Today marks the anniversary of the 1970 postal strike, when letter carriers stood up after years of “collectively begging” and secured our collective-bargaining rights. Fifty-six years later, we honor their courage and remain committed to defending those hard-earned rights. “Our pay, our benefits, our rights and protections—all of these rest on what a few thousand carriers had the courage to do more than a half-century ago. We honor their legacy by bargaining for the benefit of all letter carriers.” — NALC President @BrianRenfroe19

Avatar: Fire and Ash VFX workers won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects less than a year after ratifying their first collective bargaining agreement.

With immense gratitude, we thank David McCall for a lifetime of dedication to our union. From joining at 18 as a millwright at Bethlehem Steel’s Burns Harbor Works to leading our union, his legacy of advocacy will inspire generations to come. Read more: usw.org/news/mccall-st…
