We’re now 17 days from the deadline for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Solidarity with The WNBPA as they fight for pay equity, dignity and respect.

Stopping clean energy projects already underway and destroying good union jobs threatens to take America backward. With unemployment rising and prices spiking, this order makes no sense. Workers should be allowed to finish the job. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Doing your last-minute holiday shopping? Make sure to buy union-made gifts!

‘Tis the season for solidarity! As you finish your holiday shopping and buy your last-minute gifts, remember to buy union-made goods! https://go.aflcio.org/gifts

WNBA players are responsible for the league’s skyrocketing growth and popularity. Pay equity is LONG overdue for the players. Solidarity with the WNBPA in their fight for a new contract. America’s unions stand with the players! https://bit.ly/3MPWYzB

Federal workers — and ALL working people — are tired of the Trump administration’s DOGE/Project 2025 agenda. We need a government that is focused on making workers’ lives better, not firing the people who make our communities and essential services run. https://wapo.st/3YaJuAR

Don’t be a grinch to working people this holiday season. #BetterInAUnion

Families are already being crushed by rising costs. They shouldn’t have their health insurance premiums more than double now, too. Congress going home before fixing the health care crisis is unacceptable. It’s time to put working people first. https://nbcnews.to/4auOI1Q

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

📢 HUGE TEXAS WORKER WIN: Workers at San Antonio’s Grand Hyatt & Hyatt Regency hotels just ratified new contracts with a $20 minimum wage! “I’ll be able to actually save and not have to worry so much every month about all my expenses,” said @unitehere.org Local 23 member Mary Saucedo.

This holiday season, scrooges beware - it’s not too late to change your ways and pay your workers fairly.

If you’re doing some last-minute holiday shopping, union-made gifts and union carriers like USPS or UPS are a great way to support the workers who keep the holidays moving!

Congratulations to the @sagaftra.org intimacy coordinators on unanimously ratifying their historic first contract! #BetterInAUnion

Firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers who care for veterans, inspect food, send seniors their Social Security checks does nothing to help families. Federal workers make America run, but the Trump admin’s DOGE/Project 2025 agenda hurts everyone. https://n.pr/4pH2xih

Congress went home without extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Now, over 20 million people are going to see their health insurance costs more than double. Everything is already expensive. Working families can’t afford this health care crisis. https://wapo.st/3L96AVy

Statement on Kennedy Center Board Action: In 1964, Congress established the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as a living memorial to President Kennedy. Only Congress can change its name.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right: Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

In August, we sounded the alarm that Black unemployment was skyrocketing during the Trump administration. Since then, the economy is even worse for Black workers. Black unemployment is now 8.3%, up 2 points since last year.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. When you rip millions of working people from our workplaces, our communities, country and economy suffer. That’s the reality of the Trump admin’s mass deportation agenda. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers.

Congress still must act for the 20+ million people whose insurance premiums are skyrocketing. It’s time to stop the political games — solving this health care crisis can’t wait. Working people need solutions NOW. https://reut.rs/4aHqi5l

Workers at Code for America are bargaining for a fair contract, but management is demanding cuts to their benefits and time-off. Show your solidarity with OPEIU Tech Workers Union Local 1010: sign the letter to stand with workers for dignity, respect and benefits. https://bit.ly/3YmQDhH

La solidaridad significa estar ahí los unos para los otros — sin importar el estatus, las fronteras o el trabajo. En el Día Internacional del Migrante, los sindicatos de los Estados Unidos seguimos comprometidos a proteger a TODAS las personas trabajadoras.

Solidarity means showing up for each other — across backgrounds, across borders, across workplaces and across industries. On International Migrants Day, America’s unions remain committed to making sure ALL working people, regardless of status, are protected at work and at home.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re so grateful for our @apwu.bsky.social postal workers, @lettercarriers.bsky.social and LIUNA NPMHU mail handlers who make sure our gifts, holiday cards and letters make it to our loved ones. Thank you for all you do to help make the holidays special.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

President Trump's claims about jobs and wages simply aren't true.

Don’t miss out! The deadline to register for the 2026 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference is December 23. Join us as we come together to honor our history and fight for a future that works for ALL working people. themlkconference.org

If you're a video game worker looking to have a stronger voice on the job, stop corporate greed and get better pay, benefits and more, join @videogameworkers.bsky.social and build worker power to change the gaming industry for good. uvw-cwa.org

In a HUGE bipartisan victory for working people, the House passed the Protect America’s Workforce Act to restore federal workers’ union rights—the first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order this term. When we fight, we WIN! https://bit.ly/48MgWnu

Pay equity is not optional, @wnba.com. It’s way overdue. It’s time to pay the players what you owe them. Solidarity with the WNBPA players as they fight for a contract that gives them an equitable share of the profits THEY create.

One day longer, one day stronger! America’s unions stand in solidarity with all Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores nationwide in their fight for a fair contract. No contract, NO COFFEE!

The Trump admin is not enforcing labor laws as strongly as they should be. Workplace health and safety penalties are down 45%, while Wage and Hour Division penalties are down 94%. President Trump is putting workers’ health, safety and wages at risk. https://bit.ly/490IB2U

People are struggling to put food on the table and pay their rent, groceries and more. The Trump administration’s economic policies are hurting workers, but they sure help the billionaires and corporate CEOs who are raking in more profits than ever.

We’re asking lawmakers to put themselves in the shoes of working people. Imagine getting notice that your health insurance costs will more than DOUBLE. Where do you cut costs? Rent? Groceries? Child care? Congress: it’s time to put workers first and extend the ACA tax credits.

Unemployment keeps increasing and paychecks aren’t keeping up with the cost of living. The Trump admin has created an economy where billionaires and giant corporations can cash in while workers have to fight to make ends meet. https://wapo.st/48Gt1KN

The Trump administration has been led by people who are like an “absolute zealot” whose sole purpose is to implement Project 2025. Don’t take our word for it — take it from President Trump’s top aid, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

The bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act is headed to the Senate! We need your voice to help stand up for federal workers and their union rights. Tell your senators: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act and stop President Trump’s union-busting! https://bit.ly/49b14Lc

Looking to show your solidarity this holiday season? Our union-made gift guide has you covered! go.aflcio.org/gifts

In our workplaces, in our communities and in our government, the right to vote is how we make our voices heard. But threats to the Voting Rights Act silence workers’ voices. Working people built this democracy, and we’ll defend it. More from AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond:

TSA officers organized for years to secure union contracts—and DHS is trying to rip them up before the holiday travel rush where officers will have to keep millions of Americans safe without a voice on the job. This union-busting puts all of us at risk. https://bit.ly/3XWWMRs

The Protect America’s Workforce Act has passed the House! Now, we need every senator who says they support America’s unions to stand with federal workers and their union rights. Tell your senators: sign the Protect America’s Workforce Act! https://bit.ly/49b14Lc

When federal workers have a strong voice on the job, it helps the government better serve working people. As the Protect America’s Workforce Act—our bill to restore federal workers’ union rights—heads to the Senate, we stand with them against President Trump’s union-busting.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It’s unconscionable. As baristas at corporate stores fight for a fair contract and against Starbucks’ union-busting and greed, they have the solidarity of all 15 million members of America’s unions.

Along with all of America’s unions, our thoughts are with the families impacted by the mass shooting at Brown University. No worker, student or staff should have to worry about being killed on the job. We’re keeping our Rhode Island union family in our thoughts.

Today is the deadline to enroll in ACA health insurance for those who need health care starting January 1st. But plan costs will more than DOUBLE for millions of families if Congress fails to extend the ACA tax credits. It’s time to put workers first. https://cnn.it/4adYDZm

The AFL-CIO stands with the Australian labor movement in condemning the horrifying antisemitic attacks at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. America’s unions reaffirm our commitment to fight bigotry, hate, and violence as we push for a fair and just world for all.

America’s unions wish all of our union siblings who celebrate a happy Hanukkah!

We would like to thank our sponsors for the AFL-CIO’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference in Baltimore, MD! Interested in sponsoring and joining the fight for a better future for all working people? Learn more: https://themlkconference.org/

Federal workers care for veterans, inspect our food, keep our air and water clean and so much more. They need a strong voice on the job to keep our services running. The House stood with them in their fight to get their union rights back. https://wapo.st/4s9gpDI
