Union-Made in America St. Patrick's Day | AFL-CIO If you're planning a St. Patrick's Day meal or celebration, make sure it's union-made in America!

If you are stocking up for St. Patrick’s Day, put unions at the center of your list. From corned beef and cabbage to beer, whiskey and coffee, there are union made options that support good jobs here at home.

The SAVE America Act would suppress votes – especially for women. Women who have changed their names after marriage or divorce, and low wage women workers who struggle to access documents are the ones most likely to be blocked from the ballot & silenced in our democracy.

NWSL 2026 season: How to watch, soccer schedule on ESPN The 2026 NWSL season will mark the debuts of the Boston Legacy FC and Denver Summit FC, bringing the league to 16 clubs.

Happy new NWSL season to every player taking the field today. Wishing @nwslplayers.bsky.social members a healthy, safe, and successful year on and off the pitch.

GOP Sen. Cornyn backs changing filibuster to pass SAVE America Act Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who is in the middle of a heated GOP runoff race, is now backing changing the Senate filibuster rule to advance the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) A...

Let’s get this straight: The SAVE Act’s goal is to prevent eligible people from registering and voting.

Women's History Month Profiles | AFL-CIO For Women's History Month, we're taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women's history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the ...

This Women’s History Month, we’re lifting up my union sisters who are making history right now—on the job, in their communities and across the labor movement. Meet the leaders improving conditions for workers nationwide.

Democrat’s plan would eliminate federal income taxes for half of U.S. workers Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

Working people who are struggling to pay the bills deserve tax relief: a new system that puts working families first, where workers at or below a living wage owe no federal income tax and the wealthy help cover the cost.

The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

Starbucks’ CEO raked in nearly $96 million last year, while the median Starbucks worker made just $14,674. That kind of imbalance is exactly what is driving the affordability crisis. https://newrepublic.com/post/207422/corporate-miscreants-driving-affordability-crisis

The @aflcio.org hosted the Driving the Vote for Equality tour for #WomensHistoryMonth honoring the suffragists who traveled the country demanding the right to vote. The labor movement carries that legacy forward as we push for equality on the job and the Equal Rights Amendment.

Across the country, women are organizing, bargaining and leading. Their leadership is shaping the future of the labor movement and raising the bar for working people everywhere. #InternationalWomensDay

This #WomenInConstructionWeek, we honor the tradeswomen who are reshaping an industry and proving every day that these careers are a pathway to the middle class. When women have access to apprenticeship, fair pay, and safe worksites, our entire economy is stronger.

I’m thrilled to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to the @aflcio.org as our 65th union!

Women’s hockey players are inspiring a new generation and building power on and off the ice. America’s unions are stronger with the PWHLPA in our union family. bit.ly/4lkwBis

The 60 @wgaeast.bsky.social members who create daily programming for CBS News 24/7 deserve a fair contract that reflects the value of their work. Send a message to CBS executives and tell them to reach a fair agreement for these writers, producers, graphic artists, and editors.

Union members running for office are charting a new future. After yesterday’s primaries, union-first candidates backed by the @texasaflcio.org and @ncstateaflcio.bsky.social notched key wins. When rank-and-file workers run, working people’s voices show up on day one.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who changed the labor movement. From the garment workers who organized after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to the founding of CLUW, they proved a woman’s place is in her union.

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

With just days until the season kickoff, USLPA players have authorized a strike after more than 500 days of bargaining. They’re fighting for basic professional standards they deserve: guaranteed health care, safe working conditions and real contract protections.

WGAE members at CBS News 24/7 are fighting for a fair contract in the midst of threats to free speech, multiple massive mergers and tumultuous changes to the broadcast news industry.

Our members deserve strong job protections, send a letter to management: wgaea.st/cbs247-letter

“We can say with true pride that this is everybody’s union! I’m so proud to be a steelworker.”

AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond on the historic moment that Roxanne Brown became International President of @steelworkers.bsky.social:

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

It was reckless to let thousands of VA health care jobs disappear and then eliminate those positions entirely. That is not efficiency. It means fewer doctors and nurses available to care for veterans.

“United, nothing can defeat us.”

That’s the kind of clarity and confidence Roxanne Brown brings as she takes on the mantle of International President of @steelworkers.bsky.social. She’s ready to get to work and build on a legacy of strength, solidarity and results for working people everywhere.

Women have been at the heart of the labor movement for more than a century— leading on the shop floor, at the bargaining table, and in our communities. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate their leadership and recommit to building workplaces that value their work and power.

We Proudly Celebrate Black History Month | AFL-CIO Black History Month is a time for reflection and recognition as we celebrate the Black labor leaders and union members, both past and present, who have advanced real change.

As Black History Month comes to a close, we honor the Black labor leaders who’ve shaped our movement and the ongoing fight for equity, dignity, and opportunity at work.

AFSCME member Nerissa Marcum knows how much heart, responsibility and patience being a school bus driver requires. She shares a special relationship with the kids she drives — many of whom are special needs students. It makes her job feel rewarding and that’s why she never quits.

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

Lower premiums don’t mean much if a family has to pay $31,000 before coverage even kicks in each year. Health care coverage should mean care when you need it, not debt you can’t escape.

Let’s be clear: Taking away programs that put food on the table is not lifting people out of poverty. It is pushing families deeper into it and pretending harm is progress. That’s nothing to brag about.

The SAVE Act would make it harder for eligible Americans to cast a ballot — period. We should be strengthening our democracy, not restricting it.

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

The way to start balancing the scales? Solidarity and a union contract! ✊

The State of the Union didn’t change the facts. Prices are high. Families are squeezed. Billionaires are thriving. That’s why workers across this country are organizing in record numbers— because real change comes when we join together.

Congratulations to the @nynurses.bsky.social at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, Mount Sinai Health System, and Montefiore Medical Center on ratifying new contracts. More than 15,000 nurses came together to protect patient care for New Yorkers. That’s solidarity in action.

I’m thrilled that Lauren McFerran will lead the @aflcio.org Tech Institute at a critical moment for the future of work. With decades of leadership standing up for working people, she’s ready to take on unaccountable Big Tech billionaires and push for AI guardrails.

The SAVE Act is a dangerous overreach. It would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to cast a ballot right before a critical midterm election. It’s intentional voter suppression, plain and simple.
