“Across North America, the Building Trades are rising to meet this moment. ➡️Membership is growing. ➡️Apprenticeship numbers are surging. ➡️Union training capacity has never been stronger. ➡️And our reputation for safety, productivity, and quality is unmatched. This is not a coincidence, it’s a continental trend.” - Brandon Bishop at @CDNTrades' Annual Conference

5,070 workers were killed on the job in 2024. That’s completely unacceptable. On Workers’ Memorial Day and every day, the labor movement is committed to the fight to make sure every worker stays safe and healthy on the job. aflcio.org/dotj

AFL-CIO President @LizShuler: “Does anyone want to continue on this race-to-the-bottom… where this handful of billionaires, one soon to be a trillionaire, get to play God with our economy and our lives? Hell no! We know we can do better.”

Join us on Saturday June 13th for our Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Ashland Golf Club. Or sponsor a hole. #ItsBetterInAUnion @NEAFLCIO

In the streets and on the shop floor, in union halls and at the ballot box, working people are rising up. Join America’s unions and allies across the country next week at a #NoKings event near you as we fight to take back our power ✊ mobilize.us/?q=No%20Kings%…

The Trump admin hit workers with a health care double-whammy—his big, ugly bill ripped health care away from millions, and he let ACA tax credits expire, making health care costs more than double for millions of families. Now, we’re all paying the price. apnews.com/article/health…

Anyone who earns $1 million a year stops paying into Social Security today. It’s not right—the rich should pay into Social Security all year long on all of their income like the rest of us do. It’s time to scrap the cap so we can protect retirement security for working people.

On #InternationalWomensDay, America’s unions celebrate the women leading our labor movement, organizing unions and fighting for fair pay, safety, dignity and respect on the job. Their fight is all of our fight, and we’re proud to celebrate and stand with them every single day.

Women have been at the heart of the labor movement for more than a century— leading on the shop floor, at the bargaining table, and in our communities. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate their leadership and recommit to building workplaces that value their work and power.

This is your reminder that President Trump didn’t help these working people: his big, ugly bill gutted SNAP and ripped food assistance away from hungry kids.  The state of our union for working people is under attack.

Prices are up on rent, groceries, utilities and more. Working families are fighting for scraps while billionaires and giant corporations are getting even richer. America’s unions are growing because working people are hungry to take back their power and balance the scales.

America’s unions mourn the 5,070 workers who lost their lives on the job in 2024. While it’s a relief to see that number decrease, there should be zero annual workplace deaths. We’ll keep fighting so all workers can return home at the end of their shift. aflcio.org/press/releases…

Welcome to Washington, DC! Our Union’s newest Local officers are attending the ATU’s innovative New Officers’ Training this week to learn critical skills to best serve their members and Locals. Under International President John Costa’s leadership, these new officers are gaining the knowledge and tools they need to stand up for transit workers everywhere.
 
At an opening reception, Costa welcomed attendees speaking about the importance of their roles and the challenges they face. “This is a great training. It’s a jam-packed week to prepare you for the challenges you will face as leaders at your Local. It’s also an opportunity to network with your fellow Local officers who are dealing with the same issues,” Costa told the attendees. “You are taking your positions during very trying times for our countries. We can’t do your jobs for you, but we will give you knowledge that you can take back to represent and fight for your members.”

This training is about preparing our future leaders to learn, grow, and build a stronger, more unified union. We look forward to a busy and productive week!
