U.S. Soccer Players Authorize Playing Strike Amid Tense Labor Talks The American second division could be moved from its scheduled 2026 start date.

The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and it’s time for the USL to deliver.

The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.

Tax and Revenue Committee Chairman Derrick Lente added an amendment to the tax package, which passed the committee, the House, and the Senate with all Democrats in support and all Republicans voting in opposition.

House Democrats heard their demands and worked quickly to secure a workaround that would add the one percent raise into the tax bill, rather than back into the budget.

Earlier this month, CWA members working for the state of New Mexico learned that the state Senate stripped away their COLA after it had already passed the House. The move prompted swift condemnation from non-union workers, community allies, and labor unions, including CWA and AFSCME.

Working people are tired of living in an economy that benefits billionaires and giant corporations, while they survive paycheck-to-paycheck.

This is HUGE. Congrats to the Volkswagen workers and our @uaw.org family in Chattanooga on ratifying their first union contract.

Despite Relentless Attacks, Nearly Half a Million Workers Unionized in 2025 | AFL-CIO Years of organizing deliver gains across industries as workers turn to unions in the face of attacks on their freedoms and livelihoods.

Thanks to years of sustained organizing, 11.2% of all wage and salary workers in the United States are now covered under union contracts, up from 2024 and the highest in 16 years. Nearly 70% of Americans support unions and more than 50 million more workers are eager to join one.

We are proud of workers at Microsoft, New Flyer, university campuses across the country, and so many more who have stood up together to organize and fight for a better future with CWA.

A graphic that says, "union representation grew by 463,000 in 2025."

Workers know that the best check on a bad boss is a strong union contract. Despite relentless attacks on our freedoms and our livelihoods by the rich and powerful, workers are fighting back and union representation is growing.

Headline: US union membership soared to 16-year high in 2025 despite Trump assault. Union coverage slightly increased last year even as White House tried to eliminate contracts for thousands of workers.

Bosses and union-busting politicians have tried to stop workers and their unions—slashing jobs and rigging rules to scare us out of organizing—but they’re failing.

The number of workers covered by union contracts is the highest it has been in 16 years! https://bit.ly/4qCMsK1
