We’ve waited months for this day! @CSUEU and all of us just filed over 4,000 signatures to have the largest student assistant union in history!!! #UnionizeCA #UnionizeCalifornia @LorenaSGonzalez @CaliforniaLabor @CYDLabor Now it’s time for @calstate to let us vote 🗳️

Nationally - it often feels like the people most threatened by change-making, economic-populist, anti-billionaire, tech-skeptical Democrats, aren’t Republicans, but establishment Dems. 🧐

No AI system will ever replace the human touch or judgment of a nurse. Thank you Assemblymember @AsmLizOrtega for fighting for the issues workers care about by authoring #AB2575, the Health Care by Humans Act! We have to ensure qualified, trained nurses and other healthcare workers are empowered to make the final call on our healthcare decisions, not AI robots.

THANK YOU Assembly Speaker @CASpeakerRivas for standing with workers over AI billionaires and voting YES on @CaliforniaLabor's sponsored bills in the Assembly to create strong guardrails on artificial intelligence in the workplace! ✅ #AB1883 - Stop AI Strip Searches ✅ #AB2575 - Protect Healthcare by Humans ✅ #AB2564 - Ban Surveillance Pricing ✅ #AB1776 - Stop Corporate Monopolies’ Anti-Competitive & Union-Busting Practices

Getting play by play updates from our @CaliforniaLabor legislative team on our priority bills. (All of which got off the Assembly floor tonight!) Grateful for kick-ass authors and labor legislative advocates that never stop working…especially our @saraflocks … the GOAT!

ANOTHER HUGE WIN! @CaliforniaLabor sponsored bill AB 2564 to BAN surveillance pricing in grocery stores and all other retailers just passed the Assembly! Statement from President @LorenaSGonzalez: "Working Californians are facing the worst affordability crisis in history. Now, Big Tech billionaires are stealing our personal data to exploit our individual breaking points. They want to use our personal data to raise prices on necessities: food, gas, travel, and rent. @CaliforniaLabor is fighting for strong guardrails to stop Big Tech from using ‘surveillance pricing’ to blatantly squeeze and rip off working people.”

How about jobs?

This is an easy one Dems! Which side are you on?

When corporations put profits ahead of clean air, working people and families pay the price. Not on my watch. As governor, I’ll make polluters pay.

Goodbye 👋 Matt. Workers rejected you ❌

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) vetoes collective bargaining bill passed by General Assembly

For the first time in recent history, we have labor reform legislation — the Faster Labor Contracts Act — that is both bipartisan and bicameral. When passed, the FLCA will require employers to start bargaining with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union. Let’s make it happen!

TEAMSTERS UNION ISSUES STATEMENT AHEAD OF SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BILL MARKUP The five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill, known as the BUILD America 250 Act, would impact rank-and-file Teamsters nationwide throughout the transportation sector. Ahead of the legislation’s markup in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, led by Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO-6th District) and Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA-2nd District), Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien issued the following statement. “The Teamsters Union commends the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for addressing many of the Teamsters’ priority issues in this legislation, including expanding CDL training, establishing an autonomous vehicle framework for state and local governments to build upon, creating groundbreaking mandates for physical barriers on transit buses to protect drivers, and putting the final nail in the coffin for Chinese-owned manufacturers trying to destroy the livelihoods of Teamsters who build transit buses. “The Teamsters support efforts to improve the federal permitting process to make sure investments turn into real construction jobs. Our union also appreciates the bill’s focus on improving roadway safety protections for construction workers. “While the bill includes positive provisions to protect working people, several critical issues need to be resolved. The final version of the bill must include the Railway Safety Act and other rail safety provisions and be free of any amendments that would dangerously increase the maximum weight of trucks on our nation’s roads. “The Teamsters are proud to be the largest and strongest union representing transportation workers in America. We will continue to put the American worker and the safety and livelihoods of our 1.3 million members first as this important legislation makes its way through Congress.”

It becomes clearer every day that Tom Steyer is the only option

Badge of honor, for sure.

We cannot organize 2026 workers with 1980 strategies. The labor movement must embrace podcasts, livestreams, social media, digital campaigns, and bold messaging that actually reaches people where they are. We need to modernize how we communicate, organize, and build power.

Woohoo! Yes! Another -#UnionizeCalifornia lead goes full circle! Need a union? UnionizeCalifornia.org
