Giant corporations are raking in record profits while the working class are living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggling with increased costs. The Trump admin’s economic policies are hurting working people. A union contract is how we level the playing field.

This is an attack on the retirement security of millions of working people in America. Social Security is a promise that nobody who works their entire life should have to spend their later years struggling to make ends meet. The Trump admin is threatening to break that promise.

Unless Congress acts, 22 million people who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see their costs increase by 75%. Nobody should have to choose between health care and groceries. Tell Congress: extend the ACA tax credits permanently! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Starbucks is a multi-billion dollar company. Their CEO made 6,666x what the average barista made last year. It’s time for them to get serious, finish negotiating a strong union contract and invest in @sbworkersunited.org baristas who power their profits.

With Rosh Hashanah beginning at sundown, America’s unions wish our Jewish union siblings a good and sweet new year. Shana Tova!

We’re glad that all of our union members at Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be back to work tomorrow. Their jobs never should have been on the line in the first place.

Leo Gerard’s commitment to fight for @steelworkers.bsky.social and all working people was unmatched. America’s unions will keep building a labor movement in his image—being a voice for the voiceless and standing up to injustice everywhere. May he rest in peace. aflcio.org/press/releas...

There is nobody more dedicated to their communities and workers’ freedom, fairness and security than union women.

The energy at Tradeswomen Build Nations was electric! Tradeswomen lead the way in our labor movement, and at Tradeswomen Build Nations, they showed the power of our solidarity. Union women get sh*t done! 💪

Attacks on our schools and teachers undermine our fundamental freedoms. @aft.org President @rweingarten.bsky.social’s new book “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” is a must-read in this moment. Pick up a copy at your favorite bookseller:

I’m so proud to be with thousands of my union sisters today at Tradeswomen Build Nations, the largest gathering of tradeswomen in the world! Tradeswomen are powerful trailblazers, and when we come together, we can lead the way in the trades and our labor movement.

Apprenticeships give workers life-changing earn-while-you-learn opportunities to build a career in the trades with union wages, benefits, retirement security and more. Start your career in the trades: aflcio.org/issues/bette...

4.2 MILLION people nationwide could lose their health care if Congress doesn’t renew the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits. Working people are already being crushed by higher prices, and the last thing they need is to have their health care costs spike or lose it entirely.

#SolidaritySeason Is in full swing! Boston-area workers just won the 650th Starbucks union election! 🎉It’s time for Starbucks to respect their unified voice and settle a fair contract.

Pay the bills OR go to the doctor? That should never be a choice, but it will be if lawmakers don’t extend the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits, 22 MILLION people's health insurance would spike 75%. Tell Congress: stop health care price spikes! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Federal workers make our country run. When they have a strong voice on the job, it makes every worker stronger, our essential services stronger and helps the government better serve the public. America’s unions stand with all federal workers fighting for their union rights.

Powerful corporations are enabling the Trump administration to muzzle workers’ free speech and threaten their jobs. America’s unions stand for workers’ fundamental freedoms.

Happy National Tradesperson Day! America’s unions celebrate the incredible skilled trades workers who build and maintain our communities. Thank you for your expertise and hard work that powers our country and makes us strong!

Asbestos. Silica. Black lung. Lead. NIOSH is the research agency you've never heard of (and the whole world relies on) to keep workers safe on the job and help businesses create healthier workplaces. And Trump/DOGE cuts have decimated it.

If the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits expire, 130,000 health care workers would lose their jobs, 4.2 MILLION people would lose their health care and 22 MILLION people will see their premiums spike by 75%. Tell Congress: stop health care price spikes! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Ripping up federal workers’ union contracts hurts everyone in our communities who rely on the critical services they provide. But we have a bipartisan bill to save their union rights. Tell your senators: cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! is an alarming case of powerful corporations helping the Trump admin suppress the freedom of speech among America's working people. America’s unions stand with the workers whose jobs are on the line from this chilling censorship.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Since President Trump’s March executive order stripped nearly 1 million federal workers of their collective bargaining rights, he has expanded his attacks to even MORE workers. Tell your senators: cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Federal workers are our neighbors, friends and family. They help make the essential services we all rely on run every day. If the Trump admin tries to rip up federal workers’ union contracts, they’ll try to do the same to ALL union contracts. America’s unions are fighting back.

President Trump’s executive order to gut federal workers’ union rights was the worst act of union-busting in history. But the Senate just introduced a bipartisan bill to stop it. Tell your senators: cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

We applaud the Senate introduction of the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Thank you @markwarner.bsky.social, Senator Chris Van Hollen and @schumer.senate.gov for standing with federal workers and their collective bargaining rights. All senators should support this bipartisan bill.

Cuts to Medicaid in the big, ugly bill will rip away health care for millions of working families and their kids across the country. Kids need access to health care more than giant corporations and billionaires need another tax break.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducts essential research that keeps workers safe. But the Trump admin wants to continue to gut this critical agency. Workplace safety is not optional. Tell Congress: stop cuts to NIOSH!

Congratulations to all the workers who made last night’s #Emmys2025 awards happen, and the union members whose talent and hard work on screen and off made this year’s incredible nominated television productions possible!

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! America’s unions are proud to celebrate and honor the history, culture and incredible contributions Hispanic and Latino communities have made in our lives, our workplaces and our labor movement.

Congrats to Braxton Winston on being elected President of @NCStateAFLCIO! America’s unions look forward to standing with you in the fight for working families in North Carolina.

On the #BetterInAUnion bus tour, America’s unions met with workers nationwide to organize, mobilize, and fight back against billionaires, corporate greed and anti-worker politicians. We will keep fighting for the freedom, fairness and security we all deserve! ✊

This week’s inflation report showed the Trump admin’s economic policies aren’t doing a thing to help working families living paycheck to paycheck. Giant corporations are raking it in, and workers are shouldering the increased costs.

IUOE Local 501, representing workers at Dreyer’s Bakersfield, discovered the plant’s ammonia process could affect 100,000+ workers and community members in a worst-case scenario ammonia leakage. Tell Bakersfield and Kern Country to investigate! actionnetwork.org/letters/take...

Welcome to the WGA, Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures! Writers on future seasons of Alma’s Way, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Carl the Collector will now have a union. Writers at both production companies will work under the terms reached between the WGA and PBS in December, 2024.

Happy to have AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social join nurses in Wilmington, NC as part of our national day of action for the VA! We made it clear to Sen.Ted Budd: Nurses are demanding a fully funded and fully staffed VA! It's the LEAST we can do for our veterans.

Thank you @marybemcmillan.bsky.social for two decades of unwavering dedication to our labor movement, and of incredible service to the @NCStateAFLCIO.bsky.social. Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement!

Thank you to the New Jersey AFL-CIO and @govmurphy.bsky.social for continuing to work together to pass new laws that will improve the lives of NJ's working people. njaflcio.org/governor-mur...

The AFL-CIO and EKCTU are united in outrage at the militarized ICE raid at Hyundai in Georgia. The Trump admin’s actions do nothing to make working people safer, and we refuse to be pitted against each other as corporations violate workers’ rights for ever-higher profits.

Congrats to the Production Assistants on the show “The Pitt” on unanimously voting to form a union with Production Assistants United and @weareliuna.bsky.social! With a stronger voice on the job, PAs now have the power to bargain for the rights, benefits, and respect they deserve.

The U.S. has provided medical care to the heroes and survivors of 9/11 through the World Trade Center Health Program, under NIOSH. The Trump admin and Congress should commemorate today by reinstating all NIOSH workers so they can resume WTCHP’s operations.

The labor movement grieves all those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001—including more than 600 members of our union family—and urges leaders to take the necessary steps so first responders and survivors can continue to heal. aflcio.org/press/releas...

The National Defense Authorization Act in Congress would restore Department of Defense workers’ union rights after President Trump ripped them away. But, there's an amendment to kill this critical provision. Tell your rep to vote NO on the Onder amendment!

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

Working people will not be quiet – no matter how much they try to silence or divide us.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. The Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda is targeting working families nationwide and is wreaking havoc on our communities and economy. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers.

America’s unions are gathering for our Western Regional Convening, where we’re strategizing and mobilizing to build an even stronger labor movement and put power back in the hands of working people, NOT billionaires or giant corporations.

During our Workers’ Labor Day week of action, at 1,000+ events across the country, America’s unions and allies demanded freedom, fairness and security for ALL working people.
