The #BetterInAUnion bus tour will see you in New York tomorrow!

America’s unions are mobilizing to hold those who voted for the big, ugly bill accountable for cutting Medicaid, SNAP food assistance and our jobs. We’ll make sure ALL working people know how they voted.

Central Texas Flood Resources & How to Help As Texans recover from the recent floods, the Texas AFL-CIO has compiled a list of resources for the affected counties for both union members and the general public. Thank you to all of our emergency ...

My thoughts go out to everyone impacted by the floods in Texas Hill Country, their families, and our @texasaflcio.bsky.social union family. We are holding them in our hearts during this tragic time.

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

Working people are sick and tired of billionaires trying to gut the essential services like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid that they rely on every day.

Workers are standing up, making their voices heard, and fighting back against Elon Musk and his DOGE.

The economic outlook is darkening. Moody's upped its recession probability from 15 to 40 percent, and that was all before the President’s “Liberation Day” trade war against our allies spooked the stock market. #Econsky Thread on #unemployment claims backdrop to the chaos ⬇️

Mass Federal Layoffs Present Unprecedented Unemployment Insurance Challenges Communities across America are reeling from a sudden and unprecedented surge in workers laid off from federal jobs. Elon Musk announced the intention of

Communities across the U.S. are reeling from what could be the largest mass layoff by a single employer in U.S. history.
So far, 200K federal workers have been terminated and 75K have accepted the so-called Fork in the Road buyout.

This presents unprecedented challenges for UI systems.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.

The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.

His approval ratings are tanking.

He does not have a mandate.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

He's not.

Dear Elon Musk: Since you asked, here’s what federal workers do - for me and my community:

Good messaging

I can’t wait for my grocery bill to go way down starting tomorrow!
