“Trump’s “Golden Age” economy works for CEOs and billionaires, but has done nothing to protect our jobs or make life more affordable for working people.” @aflcio

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.

Union power is growing. 16.5 million workers were covered by union contracts in 2025 — the highest number in 16 years. In the face of unprecedented attacks on collective bargaining rights, workers organized anyway. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

Trump says ‘take a look at Philadelphia’ like it’s a crime documentary. Meanwhile, the only real controversy is where he orders his cheesesteaks from.✌ . . #philly #union @afscme #knowyourrights #election #usa
