BREAKING: The Oregon House has passed HB 4027, which creates sustainable funding for the state Bureau of Labor & Industries to protect working Oregonians.

Tell the Oregon Senate to join the House and pass the bill as well. Oregon workers deserve a well funded and functioning labor bureau.

Stacked images of a person testifying in a public hearing with the text, "This legislation is critical to safeguarding patient privacy, protecting healthcare providers from growing criminalization threats, and ensuring that all Oregonians can access medically necessary care"

Stacked images of a person testifying with the text, "without fear of discrimination, retaliation, or legal risk. The current climate of uncertainty due to risk of retaliation from outside states has very real consequences if left unchecked."

Stacked images of a person testifying with the text, "Providers may hesitate to offer care in vitally saving moments, patients may delay or avoid seeking treatment and confidential health information may be put at risk."

As Oregonians believe that personal health care decisions should be made by individuals and our health care providers — not by politicians and the government.

Tell lawmakers to vote yes on HB 4088A to strengthen patient and provider privacy.

The State of the Union speech was more of the same from this president. Donald Trump is pandering to billionaire bosses while ignoring working people who are struggling to get by.

Union membership edged up in 2025 despite attacks from Trump administration Union membership rose to 10 percent in 2025, despite the Trump administration's efforts to weaken organized labor's power.

We won’t stop fighting until every worker has fair wages, safe working conditions, and a voice on the job.

BREAKING: The Oregon House passed HB 4111, which creates vital anti-discrimination protections for immigrants.

This is good news, but the Senate must pass the bill as well. Immigrants deserve to live their lives free from unchecked violence, discrimination and intimidation.

Wisconsin man dies after inhaler cost jumps $500, according to family's lawsuit A young Wisconsin man died from an asthma attack after the price of his inhaler skyrocketed nearly $500, according to a lawsuit filed by his family.

A 22-year-old in Wisconsin died after his inhaler price jumped to $539 overnight. This is what happens when people are forced to choose between rent and healthcare.

Healthcare is a human right.

Federal agents deployed tear gas on thousands of union members, families, and community members while we protested peacefully today.

This was an attack on working people and an unacceptable escalation from federal agents in Portland.

Minnesota’s Labor Movement endorses 1/23 Day of Truth & Freedom The Executive Board of the Minnesota AFL-CIO, the state’s federation of more than 1,000 affiliated local unions, voted to endorse Friday’s Day of Truth and Freedom as Minnesotans stand together agains...

ICE’s tactics harm our communities, making people less safe and creating a climate of fear that prevents people from working, shopping or sending their children to school. We stand with the @mnaflcio.org labor movement as it fights for our values.
