Learn how @AFLCIO’s state federations of labor are taking on AI in @poweratwork.bsky.social's new blogcast! @mrsethharris.bsky.social is joined by Pres Lorena Gonzalez of @californialabor.bsky.social & Pres Chrissy Lynch of Mass AFLCIO to discuss! poweratwork.us/blogcast-103...

No warrant, no explanation. Plain clothed men took her to San Diego ICE where she was later released because she has an asylum case. The terror is the point.

Unbelievable. The housing bill the Governor is requiring for the budget deal would eliminate residential prevailing wage for construction workers. The “replacement wage” goes backwards & doesn’t meet the threshold set for fast food or hospital workers in CA. We oppose. #caleg

Democrats are spending $20 million to learn how to talk to men. Here’s what they should do instead UC Law San Francisco professor Joan C. Williams offers far better advice into how Democrats can win back working-class voters rather than investing in the “Speaking with American Men” program.

I’m going to be at the rally in downtown LA tomorrow. We are asking everyone to lift their voice in a peaceful protest! Please do not give the administration what they want. We can fight back without being violent!

I say this often.

Furthermore, reducing important issues to campaign contributions is lazy. Especially when the other side ALWAYS spends more than working people … like Waymo through Google spent far more at Capitol than workers through any union. (Also worker contributions ARE not the same as corporate spending.)

Governors keep vetoing these California bills, yet they return every year Why lawmakers resurrect policy proposals that have been rejected, often with the backing of big donors.

Regulating AI for privacy, safety & jobs should be on every legislator’s agenda. Even if the Governor insists on vetoing almost every piece of legislation. It is a top concern for almost ALL Californians.

Giving up and giving in should not be an option. Keep pushing

At the state Democratic Party convention, @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social tells the labor caucus: “We have to demand that the future of this Democratic Party [does] not abandon working people in order to please tech bros and people at cocktail parties and billionaires who don't give us a shit about us.”

Thank you @jasonsisney.bsky.social - your values are always on display! … time for others to stand up against this stupidity.

Part of this agenda includes removing barriers - including labor standards. Building shit while creating shit jobs is not what we stand for.

Un regulated AI, Big Tech libertarianism, the deregulation “Abundance” agenda…

If that’s the direction of the Democratic Party, we will lose every National election.

Not yet. I agree they hype themselves in these stories. But, it’s coming and we need to regulate it.

We’re proud to welcome President @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social of the California Federation of Labor Unions to the California Democratic Party Convention!

A fearless fighter for working people, Gonzalez has spent her career standing up for California’s working families #CAStrong

While Trump is trying to slide prohibitions against regulating AI into his budget bill, our Gov & other pro-tech Dems are killing bills w/common sense guardrails on AI. Don’t let any politician gaslight you on big tech, we have to demand regulations.

Behind the Curtain: Top AI CEO foresees white-collar bloodbath Hardly anyone is paying attention.

There is a tech tsunami coming & it’s time for elected officials to stop ignoring the costs of AI to jobs, safety & privacy.
It’s not just driverless trucks & union busting we are worried about. AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs in the next 5 yrs.

California Labor Federation President Lorena Gonzalez points up as she speaks to conference members.

Speaking next is @californialabor.bsky.social President @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social, who pointed out how there’s one side with all the billionaires and corporate execs, and then there is the side with the workers. Which side are you on? She’s sticking with the unions, 100% of the time!

As the daughter of a nurse, @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social knows firsthand — nurses are the heart of the labor movement!

President of the California Federation of Labor Unions @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social understands that for UC to live up to its mission, it must invest in frontline workers. It’s time to reset UC’s priorities for our patients, students, and research. #UC #ResetUCPriorities #UnionStrong #UnionPower

POLITICO Technology: California Decoded Preview California's leading labor group explains its push to regulate workplace surveillance tools.

“We need guardrails and we need regulation that applies to everybody,” @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social said. “It doesn't matter where you work. You should have that right to privacy.”

Welcome Andrew to our team!

Stopping all spending on clean energy while doubling down on AI infrastructure, which requires a massive increase in energy production, feels like *someone* is actively trying to accelerate climate change, extreme weather, and the total destruction of our planet. 🤔

I like how you’re thinking

Looks like we all got played by Trump, billionaires and the Chinese government.

Tik Tok is back already.

Modern day hostage release.

Happy New Year!
