Iowa AFL-CIO ✊

Closing Case in Burlington wouldn't just hurt the @UAW workers and their families, it would cause a ripple effect that would destroy small businesses, local economies and any potential growth in the area for years! #KeepCaseInBurlington @AFLCIO youtu.be/TMHXQaI3ZQk?si…

.@IowaAFLCIO President Charlie Wishman is right: the big ugly bill’s cuts to health care and food assistance will be devastating for working families. On the #BetterInAUnion bus tour, workers nationwide are standing up and fighting back ✊

While billionaires and corporations profit off the backs of working people - and politicians in Washington cut our essential services - America’s unions are hitting the road this summer to build worker power nationwide and fight for freedom, fairness and security for ALL workers.

Fact!

Tune in for the @AFLCIO It’s Better in a Union Bus Tour Kickoff! youtube.com/live/o_XGyfO8k…

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 🎆 🎇 Wishing you a safe and relaxing holiday weekend!

Congratulations to the CWA 7181 Nurses in Burlington for defeating the National Right to Work Foundation in their push to decertify the union. The Burlington CWA Nurses stood in solidarity and the Iowa Labor Movement is proud of your fight! #UnionStrong @CWAUnion

Happy National Postal Worker Day! 📬 📦 ✉️

The labor movement strongly opposes the Senate’s current budget reconciliation bill. It demands millions of working Americans give up health care, food, income, and jobs - all so the rich and large corporations can reap the greatest tax benefits. aflcio.org/about/advocacy…

“The IAM is committed to doing everything in our power to protect every worker. We are disappointed that Whirlpool is spinning this cold-hearted announcement aimed at seeking applause for reducing the number of layoffs." goiam.org/news/territori…

Senator Joni Ernst wants to cut health insurance for millions of Americans so billionaires can get more. Let Sen Ernst know this is unacceptable! Call today and tell her: No cuts to Medicaid! ☎️ 202-400-0602 Iowa families deserve better!

Heat Safety information and cold water were passed out to drivers at the Des Moines hub today. @UPS needs to keep its promise and deliver AC as required in the contract. Ups drivers show up everyday and hold up their end of the bargain, it’s time the company does the same.

Today we remember the historic struggles of Black Americans and their fight for freedom. Now, more than ever, we must fight to end systemic racism and inequality in the workplace! #Juneteenth

Trump’s order to strip federal workers of their bargaining rights was the biggest act of union-busting in history. Senate Republicans want to sneak a provision into the budget bill to finish the job. We urge senators to oppose this union-busting proposal. aflcio.org/about/advocacy…

Happy International Workers’ Day! Today the world celebrates the courage and resolve of workers who have fought for safety, dignity and justice at work. Solidarity Forever! ✊ #MayDay #UnionStrong

@AFLCIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond and @AFSCME Secretary -Treasurer Elissa McBride in Davenport at a town hall hearing. Workers testify how the Trump/Musk DOGE cuts are affecting their lives.

@IowaAFLCIO @STRedmond Elissa McBride reminded everyone in Davenport that 40% of Iowa births depend on Medicaid. Cutting federal funding means cutting care when families need it most.

@IowaAFLCIO AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer @STRedmond: “We’re going to demand from our elected leaders that they understand the gravity that their haphazard actions have had on our families.”

Join @DeptOfWorkers TONIGHT in Davenport for a public hearing where federal workers and community leaders will make their voices heard on how DOGE is impacting manufacturing, agriculture, and the jobs and essential services that working families rely on! mobilize.us/aflcio/event/7…

Senator @ChuckGrassley and his staff tried to keep his “town hall” in Hampton today quiet by not publishing it, but word got out. This is the overflow of people who couldn’t get into the event. People are sick and tired of the Trump/Musk agenda! @AFLCIO
