Workers made this country what it is today, and we aren’t about to let billionaires and union-busters take it from us. On #WorkersLaborDay, we’ll celebrate how far we’ve come and fight back for the freedom, fairness, and security #WorkersDeserve. Workerslaborday.org

Job growth over the past 3 months fell to its lowest level in over a decade. Manufacturing, government, retail and mining sectors of our economy are hemorrhaging jobs. This is the direct impact of big, ugly policies for billionaires, not working people. aflcio.org/press/releas...

America’s unions are launching #WorkersLaborDay, a week of action where workers will send a clear message to greedy CEOs, billionaires and anti-worker politicians: we built this country, and we’re taking it back. aflcio.org/press/releas...

@iatse.bsky.social members have shown incredible solidarity and strength in their organizing and contract campaigns. It was energizing to join them for their 2025 convention.

We have their backs as they build an entertainment industry that works for workers—not just the wealthy.

The energy on the #BetterInAUnion bus tour has been off the charts! From workers in St. Louis, Missouri fighting for freedom, fairness and security, to veterans in Newport News, Virginia fighting for their essential VA services, we’re building worker power nationwide.

How cuts to Medicaid and food stamps could end up hurting kids Spending cuts may be aimed at adults on paper, but kids could still end up without sufficient food and health care under the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Earlier this month, the president signed a bill that will gut Medicaid for millions of people.

America’s unions will hold everyone who voted for this bill accountable—and we’ll keep organizing to make sure every working family has the health care they need.

AFL-CIO: Trump AI Action Plan Is ‘A Gift to Big Tech’ | AFL-CIO AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler released the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s rollout of an AI Action Plan:

Trump's "Al Action Plan" is a gift to Big Tech, unleashing Al-powered tech on workers without guardrails in place to protect them from harms. America’s unions want a seat at the table to make sure AI works for working people - not just big corporations. aflcio.org/press/releas...

EXECUTIVE PAYWATCH YOUR CEO MADE 285 TIMES WHAT YOU DID IN 2024 LEARN MORE: AFLCIO.ORG/PAYWATCH

It’s way past time working people got their fair share. We don’t have to settle for an economy where top corporate CEOs make 285 times what their median workers make. aflcio.org/Paywatch

We are in the richest country in the history of the world. There is plenty of money to go around, and it should belong to the people who do the work every day!

America’s unions will keep organizing to make sure working people have the freedom, fairness and security they deserve.

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour was in Atlanta today to support @iamunion.bsky.social, @afacwa.org, @unitehere.org and @SEIU.org workers at the Atlanta Airport. It was an honor to meet them and hear their stories about what inspired them to organize a union. The entire labor movement has their back.

It was so energizing to meet with state and local labor labor leaders at the @aflcio.org’s Southern Regional Convening.

We're organizing and mobilizing in the South to level the playing field and take back power for working people. Labor is on the rise and united like never before!

Our new 2025 Executive Paywatch report shows the growing CEO-to-worker pay gap, where top CEOs now make 285x what workers make.

Corporations are prioritizing CEO pay while workers are being left behind. America’s unions won’t stand for it.

Our annual Executive Paywatch report released today shows that the country's top CEOs made 285x what their workers did last year. Unions are one of the best ways we've got to help level the playing field. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Inspiring to be with union activists and allies on the #BetterInAUnion bus tour in Atlanta.

Billionaires have stacked the deck against working people, but the labor movement is fighting back to make sure all working people have the freedom, fairness and security they deserve.

It's better in a union! Liz Shuler on the power of the people "Wherever working people are, that is where we will be."

Had a great conversation with @jenrubin.bsky.social on The Contrarian about the #BetterInAUnion bus tour, the labor movement’s organizing in new industries, immigration, and how America’s unions are mobilizing against the Trump admin’s anti-worker agenda.

Watch:

The freedom to form a union and negotiate a contract. A fair economy that works for us, not billionaires. A secure life with good benefits and the ability to retire with dignity.

This is what America’s unions are fighting for, and will continue to fight for every day. #FFS

Congrats to @nysaflcio.bsky.social President Mario Cilento and San Mateo Labor Council Executive Officer Julie Lind on being named the co-chairs of our AFL-CIO State Federation/Central Labor Council Advisory Committee! With their leadership, America’s unions are ready to fight for workers everywhere

America’s unions will keep organizing in every corner of the country so every worker can experience the union difference. #BetterInAUnion

Cuts to higher education and critical research will cost working people their jobs and put lives in jeopardy.

Thank you, Rich, for speaking at the #BetterInAUnion bus tour in Pittsburgh and sharing how these cuts will affect all of us.

@pghguild.com members at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have shown incredible strength while on strike for the last 1,000 days. It was great to meet John, a striking worker in Pittsburgh, as he talked about how solidarity gives workers the strength they need to keep fighting.

I’m grateful to Kayla for sharing her experiences today in Pittsburgh and for reminding us all that health and safety on the job should never be optional. Cuts to federal agencies like OSHA will put millions of workers in greater danger on the job, plain and simple.

Cuts to our essential services and our jobs will devastate communities like Pittsburgh. That’s why America’s unions are mobilizing.

We’re making sure ALL working people have the freedom, fairness and security they deserve to live their American Dream.

Congratulations to Brendan Griffith on being elected to serve as @nyclabor.bsky.social President!

The New York City labor movement and its one million members is ready to organize, mobilize and fight for working families.

Democrats AND Republicans support the right to join a union. Even when Washington is this divided, we can all come together to restore federal workers’ bargaining rights.

Tell your representative to sign the discharge petition to get this bill to a vote! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Congratulations to the Starbucks workers in Tucson, Arizona on unanimously voting to unionize with @sbworkersunited.org, who are now over 600 union stores strong!

Had a great conversation with Governor Beshear on the @andybeshearpodcast.bsky.social on how the Trump administration’s harmful budget reconciliation bill will hurt working families, and how the labor movement is organizing to protect working people nationwide. www.andybeshearpodcast.com
