Young Democrats of America (YDA) Labor Caucus

Despite the best attempts by tyrants and oligarchs, the American labor movement continues to soldier on! Happy May Day from the YDA Labor Caucus!

Harvard grad workers with @hgsuuaw are on strike after months of stalled negotiations, demanding fair pay, stronger protections, and a grievance process they can trust. Some teaching fellows make just $26,300 a year while Harvard sits on a $50 billion endowment.

Join the @youngdems Labor Caucus and the Populist Pugilist from Western PA, Congressman @ChrisForPA, for a fireside chat about issues affecting organized labor, the working-class, and the Democratic Party! Register for the Zoom link here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Birthright citizenship is a core protection for working families. As the Supreme Court hears arguments today on this case, America’s unions will fight to protect the 14th Amendment and every right that strengthens our democracy, our labor movement and working people everywhere.

Come join the YDA Labor Caucus as we discuss labor’s role in the 2026 midterms with former CWA President Larry Cohen and DNC Vice Chair Artie Blanco! RSVP to the Facebook event page here or DM us for the Zoom link! facebook.com/events/s/yda-l…

I believe Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, and Debra Rojas. The labor movement cannot protect powerful men who commit such heinous actions.

This Women’s History Month, we salute the legions of female labor activists, both past and present, who’ve blazed trails and uplifted workers across this country! From all of us here at the YDA Labor Caucus, have a happy and meaningful Women’s History Month!

This Black History Month, we salute the legions of Black labor activists, both past and present, who’ve blazed trails and uplifted workers across this country! From all of us here at the YDA Labor Caucus, have a happy and meaningful Black History Month!

When those in power across this country are standing against everything Dr. King stood for, it’s more important now more than ever that we recommit ourselves to Dr. King’s vision of social, racial, and economic justice. Let’s fight to make his dream a reality!

"No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The horrifying acts of this admin’s militarized immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago and cities nationwide are not about safety. They’re about power, and they’re putting innocent working people in danger. These harmful, violent federal actions must end.

Special thanks to everyone who came to our Caucus meeting at the @youngdems Winter Meeting in Omaha! We were especially delighted to hear from Ron Kaminski from LiUNA and John Hanson from Insulators Local 39!

On average, American workers wait 458 days fighting for their first contract after voting to form a union. The Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA) is a simple idea: when workers vote to improve their workplace, they shouldn’t have to wait years for contract negotiations to actually begin or for an agreement to take shape. Read more about the critical need to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, a bipartisan, bicameral proposal to guarantee workers a faster first union contract: justcauseteamsters.substack.com/p/life-moves-p…

The Protect America’s Workforce Act passed the House of Representatives! This is a huge victory for workers. As the bill heads to the Senate with bipartisan support, we call on lawmakers to vote yes and reverse the largest act of union-busting in history. aflcio.org/press/releases…

BREAKING: Democrats and Republicans in Congress just voted to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act to restore federal workers’ union rights – the first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order in this term. aflcio.org/press/releases…
