HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @IAM_Union leader @TaylorRehmetTX was just elected to the Texas Senate, kicking off a wave of union candidates! While parties are trying to reconnect with the working class, we’re running union members up & down the ballot — and winning. ✊ #txlege

More than 30 union members representing eight unions joined us in #Waco last night for our Labor Town Hall! Folks are ready to get engaged, refine our messaging, and organize to win. We’re heading across the state to talk to union members in every region — stay tuned!

I am a Marine Corps veteran, oil refinery worker, and union leader and I have spent over a decade serving my country. I am a Democrat running for Texas Land Commissioner because Texans deserve lived experience, not a candidate treating the office like a stepping stone

@TexasAFLCIO @accdistrict @wfscapitalarea @KirkPWatson Thank you @KirkPWatson and @accdistrict Chancellor for putting workers right at the center of the conversation to create good construction jobs in central texas. Thank you @NABTU!

🧵 We're working with @accdistrict, @wfscapitalarea, & other partners to create a first-of-its-kind Austin Infrastructure Academy using the Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3)! @KirkPWatson & @accdistrict Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart talked about the launch at #SXSWedu ⬇️

NEWS: The 2 million service & care workers of @SEIU are reuniting with the @AFLCIO! Here in Texas, we know the power @SEIUTX brings to the table. Now, 15M workers are united to fight back against corporate greed, build worker power, & deliver for working families. LET’S GO! #1u

We are beyond honored and excited to host our union family right here in Austin, Texas next weekend! Register below:

Today's #NationalApprenticeshipWeek highlight is Amber Sage Oliver of @smartunionworks! She's part of the first cohort of 57 youth apprentices & recent apprenticeship graduates selected as @USDOL Apprentice Trailblazers — and one of just 2 Trailblazers selected in Texas.

🚨 A TX grand jury has indicted a construction manager & his employer for a worksite trench collapse that killed Juan José Galvan Batalla in 2021. No worker should lose their life on the job. We thank Travis County DA @JosePGarza & @OSHA for holding this employer accountable.

The fight continues.

We're voting to protect our jobs. Our public schools. Our healthcare. We're voting for @KamalaHarris for President and @ColinAllredTX for U.S. Senate — because we know they will fight for US.

Had a fun morning in the Halloween spirit with @WisAFLCIO President @s_Bloomingdale - we went as Milwaukee icons Laverne and Shirley to talk to workers at the Milwaukee Miller Brewery shift change about pro-worker candidates like VP Kamala Harris and Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Congratulations to @gcaflcio for their partnership with Harris County to provide new pathways to family sustaining union construction careers through apprenticeship. #LifeChanging #CommunityChanging #ElectionsMatter @RodneyEllis @HCPrecinct4

@riaflcio Congratulations Patrick and Karen! Good news for the workers of Rhode Island.

Public education. Healthcare. Reproductive rights. Texas union members know the stakes of this election are sky-high. That's why they've been knocking doors and making calls every weekend:

I think this is called labor showing up for @averieforall and @ColinAllredTX. Talking to our members about what’s at stake this election.

@ColinAllredTX I see you Brittany!! Tell it! @TexasAFLCIO @CWAUnion

Only 18 days until Election Day. Brittany is all in. Are you?

Talking clean energy jobs, UNION jobs with @JudgeClayJ and @shaycathey. Making Solar for All work for Dallas. @TexasAFLCIO @LIUNAmidwest @IBEW @TXCJAction

LET'S GO Y'ALL! Texas Labor is pulling out all the stops to elect pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot. Across the state, our local labor bodies & affiliates are getting out the union vote - and they need our help! Sign up for an event here: mobilize.us/txaflcio/

@hamiltonnolan @whereisbenjo Couldn’t have said it better myself. #organizethesouth @TexasAFLCIO

The longshoremen are getting a 62% raise because having a union allows them to exert the leverage necessary to be paid what they are worth. The difference between a 62% raise and "shut up and go back to work" is having a union. You better unionize. hamiltonnolan.com/p/your-money-i…
