In this economy, working families are struggling while corporations and billionaires get even richer. Prices are going up on rent, groceries, health insurance and more. Pretending the economy is fine does nothing to help working people pay the bills.

We're at Mission High School this morning as SF educators stand up for fully staffed schools and the supports students deserve. Our members are fighting for the schools their communities deserve, and to get back to their classrooms with a fair contract. ✊ @cftunion.bsky.social

It felt like every Super Bowl ad this year was for some AI company with tons of money and no accountability. Working people need AI guardrails to protect our jobs, rights and freedoms so we can actually benefit from this tech, not just Big Tech CEOs.

What a game! Congratulations to our NFLPA union members on the Seahawks on winning the #SuperBowl!

Good luck to our NFLPA union members on the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks tonight at the #SuperBowl!

We marched in the freezing cold today because young workers refuse to accept a rigged economy. Rent is out of control. Child care is unaffordable. Student debt is endless. Young workers with AFGE and all our unions are organizing for a future they can actually thrive in.

America’s unions are out in force today at the Young Worker March on Washington. We’re fighting for a better and more secure future for every young worker in this country. When we fight, we win! ✊

Come shopping with us as we get ready for our union-made Super Bowl party!

Working people are worried about how AI will impact their job and their future. That’s why 80% of Americans want common-sense guardrails for AI. Decisions that lawmakers make now will impact workers for years to come, and they must protect working people.

The WNBPA players are fighting for fair pay and a real share of the profits THEY create. The players’ talent, hard work and sacrifice built the league. It’s time for Commissioners Cathy Engelbert and Adam Silver to pay the players what they owe them.

As you get ready for #SuperBowl weekend, make sure to buy union-made goods! https://aflcio.org/SuperBowl

With the #SuperBowl just days away, we’re excited to see our NFLPA union brothers play the big game! Whether on the gridiron or the factory floor, America’s unions have you covered 🏈

Militarized immigration enforcement near our schools and bus stops is every parent’s worst nightmare. ICE’s operations are emptying classrooms and traumatizing our kids. Minnesota educators are fighting in court to stop it for good.

The Trump admin's rule change is another maneuver straight out of the Project 2025 playbook to purge career federal workers and replace them with political loyalists. The labor movement stands with federal workers. We’ll see you in court, President Trump. https://bit.ly/4rCFgib

Solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social journalists as they stand up to owner Jeff Bezos’ corporate greed and his devastating cuts at The Washington Post ✊

Happy anniversary, @deptofworkers.bsky.social. Here’s to another year of fighting the destructive implementation of the Trump administration’s DOGE/Project 2025 agenda and stopping their anti-worker actions.

Executives at The Washington Post announced yesterday that they were eliminating hundreds of union jobs. Today, America’s unions rallied with @postguild.bsky.social to #SaveThePost!

Congrats to the Volkswagen workers and our @uaw.org family in Chattanooga! This tentative agreement is a historic milestone that will inspire other workers across the South. Workers in the South, and across the country, are hungry for strong union contracts and respect on the job.

The decisions that we are making right now on AI are going to shape the next 50 years. We need real leadership now. Pass common-sense guardrails. Protect working people. Bring working people to the table now, not after the fact.

80% of Americans want common-sense AI guardrails, and working people demand real leadership from state governments to protect our jobs, rights and freedoms from being taken away by AI. Our labor movement calls on lawmakers to take action now. https://bit.ly/4akJML9

Kaiser’s delay tactics are causing harm to health care workers and their patients. Surgeries cancelled. Delays in critical care. All because Kaiser won’t get to the bargaining table. Solidarity with the 31,000+ UNAC/UHCP nurses and health care workers fighting for a fair contract.

We’re proud to stand in solidarity with our women union athletes who elevate their game on the court and on the pitch, and fight for strong contracts. Our labor movement is stronger with our union sisters in sports. Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day!

The fight for civil rights and workers’ rights are deeply connected. That’s why America’s unions organize every day for dignity, respect and justice for working people. #BlackHistoryMonth

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on Earth, just eliminated hundreds of union jobs at the Washington Post. Solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social. Join them tomorrow, February 5 at 12:00 p.m. for a rally to #SaveThePost.

AI should deliver progress for workers, not just profits for big tech CEOs. AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social joined @californialabor.bsky.social and labor leaders from across the country to address how we need guardrails to protect our rights, jobs and freedoms so workers can benefit from AI

Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!! Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!

On National Thank a Mail Carrier Day, we’re grateful for the hard work of our letter carriers, mail handlers and postal workers who make sure mail reaches millions of homes. We’re proud to stand with @lettercarriers.bsky.social for a fair contract and to defend the USPS, an American treasure.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas’ fight for a fair contract is about more than coffee — it’s about dignity and respect in our workplaces that we make run every day. If Starbucks won’t respect workers, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders. Delete the Starbucks app!

ICE’s militarized immigration enforcement is causing chaos in our communities and workplaces. Vague promises aren’t enough. ICE must leave Minneapolis before more innocent people are hurt or killed.

ACA health care costs are skyrocketing because the Trump administration and their allies in Congress let its tax credits expire. These political games aren’t helping working families already struggling to pay their bills get the care they need.

Congress should be working to protect free and fair elections. The SAVE Act would not improve election integrity — it would make it tougher for working people who can’t afford fancy foreign vacations to vote. We strongly urge Congress to oppose the SAVE Act.

HUGE win for workers: A judge blocked the expiration of TPS for Haiti and cited the AFL-CIO and our affiliates’ amicus brief—protecting more than 300k Haitian workers and families. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/us/haitians-temporary-protected-status-trump.html

#BlackHistoryMonth is a time to honor the trailblazers and barrier-breakers who fought for racial justice — and a reminder of the work we have to do. Listen to AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond’s thoughts on the 100th anniversary of Black History Month:

America’s unions gathered across the country this past week to mourn the senseless killing of our AFGE union brother Alex Pretti. His loss is devastating and maddening. We call on ICE to leave our communities and workplaces before anyone else is hurt or killed.

Solidarity with the 31,000+ UNAC/UHCP nurses and health care workers (and their pups) on strike in California and Hawaii. It’s time to do what’s right, Kaiser: stop putting profits over patients, come back to the table and give workers a fair contract now.

After the Trump admin and their allies in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire, health care costs are a top concern for working families. Costs are skyrocketing for basics like groceries, rent and utilities. We can’t afford a health care crisis, too.

Join AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social and @sbworkersunited.org members TONIGHT at 8:30pm ET for a Zoom call on how we can stand in solidarity with striking baristas at corporate stores. It’s time for Starbucks to stop union-busting and finalize a fair contract. http://bit.ly/sbwufeb

Thousands of our Haitian coworkers and neighbors had their work permits revoked in the Trump admin’s latest attack on TPS. Politically targeting immigrant communities and forcing them out of their jobs, our unions and the economy destabilizes workplaces and rips families apart.

Our labor movement could not exist without the work of Black union members and leaders. During #BlackHistoryMonth and every month, America’s unions celebrate the elders and ancestors who came before us and those fighting now for racial justice in the workplace and beyond.

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. www.oraflcio.org/post/thousan...

The Trump admin is ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, essentially firing 300,000 workers who are essential to our communities and economy. We urge President Trump to redesignate Haiti TPS and avoid destabilizing families across the country.

SAG-AFTRA Statement on the Arrest of Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort

The Trump admin and their allies in Congress have done nothing to stop the health care crisis. After letting the ACA tax credits expire, health insurance costs for millions more than DOUBLED — forcing a million people to drop their coverage.

The American Dream already feels out of reach for many working families. Making homes more expensive to buy does NOT make life more affordable. In an economy where working people are already scraping for crumbs, this is more out-of-touch than ever.

This is every parent’s worst nightmare. We need bipartisan policies that safeguard our rights and prevent the masking of agents, racial profiling stops, warrantless arrests and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools.

The Trump admin let the ACA tax credits expire — and people are more worried than ever about covering health care costs. Working people are desperate for relief from rising costs, but the Trump admin is cutting jobs and destroying our health care instead.

It’s clear that ICE is putting our workplaces and communities in danger. No one should fear for their lives, whether going to work, visiting a loved one, or exercising their right to observe law enforcement. “Operation Metro Surge” must end before anyone else is hurt or killed.
