Solidarity with our @iatse.bsky.social union family at CoComelon: The Melon Patch as they go on STRIKE and fight for fair pay, benefits and better staffing with an improved work load. America’s unions have your backs!

The Trump admin and their allies in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire so they could give billionaires and corporations a tax break. Now, health insurance prices are skyrocketing, and millions of working families are struggling to pay for coverage.

Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because everything is too expensive. Working people understand the cost of living and the changing world better than anyone, certainly more than any politician or CEO. This admin needs to get workers real relief now.

Working people will be critical to the success of the World Cup—and they deserve respect, dignity and safety on the job. When the World Cup comes to the United States, FIFA must keep people safe by demanding ICE stay out of the host cities.

America’s unions are calling on FIFA leadership to keep ICE out of World Cup host cities during the games. The Trump administration's immigration enforcement poses a serious risk to the thousands of World Cup workers. https://bit.ly/3Pb9lI2

Happy Mother’s Day to all the union moms out there 🫶

Today is about appreciating the care, sacrifices and support mothers provide their families every day. We thank you and we’ll keep fighting for all working mothers so they have paid leave, equitable care and good union jobs. Happy Mother’s Day from America’s unions! ❤️

Good luck to our WNBPA union sisters as they tip off their season tonight playing with a transformational new union contract! Women’s basketball is #BetterInAUnion ✊

For over 4 years, workers at REI Co-op have been organizing and trying to reach a first union contract. How has REI responded? Union-busting. Join the tens of thousands of REI members standing with @reiunion.bsky.social and boycott their anniversary sale May 15-25.

America’s unions mourn the loss of former @1199seiu.org President George Gresham, a true leader of our labor movement who dedicated his career to building worker power and fighting for economic justice across the country. Rest in power ✊

After the Trump admin and their allies in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire, health insurance costs spiked. Now, millions of working families are struggling to afford it and are forced to get worse coverage or drop their health insurance completely.

Wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing inflation. Prices are going up on everything from rent, to groceries, gas, utilities and more. This is a cost-of-living crisis. We can start providing some relief by giving workers a raise NOW.

“Moving 4.5 million people off of SNAP” is an incredibly misleading way of saying the Trump administration kicked millions of working families off food assistance. Kids across the country are going hungry — all to give billionaires and giant corporations more tax breaks.

Congrats to the building, grounds and dining service workers and our @afscme.bsky.social union family at Illinois State University on ratifying their new contract! The workers stood strong and won fair pay, respect on the job and more. It’s #BetterInAUnion!

Nurses are tireless heroes who care for the sick, aging, and injured members of our communities. During Nurses Week and every week, we celebrate their dedication and service and thank them for everything they do.

Flight attendants and thousands of other workers have been impacted by Spirit ceasing operations. Spirit workers’ lives must come before the profits of shareholders. We encourage Secretary Sean Duffy and Acting Secretary Keith Sonderling to take action to protect Spirit workers.

Working families are struggling to pay their bills. Prices are rising on everything from rent, to groceries, gas, electricity and more. Elected officials need to act NOW to get much needed relief to working people.

Now more than ever, we need a strong and united global labor movement that can challenge the power of a few billionaires over the rest of us. The labor movement is mobilizing to build worldwide solidarity and fight for economic justice for workers everywhere.

After years of union-busting and no contract, tens of thousands of REI members have pledged to boycott REI’s Anniversary Sale May 15-25. Solidarity with @reiunion.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract. Stand with REI workers and don’t shop during the sale!

For over 30 years, @lettercarriers.bsky.social has proudly led Stamp Out Hunger, the largest one-day food drive in America. This Saturday, May 9, leave a bag of nonperishable food by your mailbox and your letter carrier will take care of the rest. Together, we can #StampOutHunger!

Ahead of our 2026 convention in June, AFL-CIO leaders @lizshuler.bsky.social and Fred Redmond, CSA-TUCA President @seiusaenz.bsky.social and labor leaders from around the world came together to address the need for a united labor movement. Global solidarity is how we fight back and WIN!

Workers are struggling with higher costs for groceries, gas, rent, utilities and more. What’s the Trump admin doing to fix this crisis? Building a $1 billion ballroom with taxpayer money. It’s time for this admin to put workers first and get us real relief.

On May Day, amid attacks on our health and safety, our civil rights, and our very freedom to organize, America’s unions and working people across the country stood up for a better country that respects our labor and our rights. This is what solidarity looks like! ✊

Culture does not come from boardrooms and billionaire CEOs — it comes from working people. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/protest-movements-jeff-bezos-met-gala-2026-1236585809/

Harvard works because @hgsuuaw.bsky.social does! Solidarity with Harvard Graduate Student Workers as they fight for a fair contract with better wages, workplace protections from harassment and discrimination, and more. One day longer, one day stronger. America’s unions have your backs!

Federal workers have faced relentless attacks on their jobs and unions by DOGE, and sharing these workers’ stories has been a powerful part of fighting back. Congrats to the @newsguild.org Washington Post journalists on winning a Pulitzer for their reporting!

CEO pay rose 20x faster than workers’ pay in 2025. Top CEOs already make 285x what workers do—and they’re fed up. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we take back our power and get our fair share of the profits WE create.

Everybody wants to be us.

“8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what we will” was the slogan of the workers who were killed in Haymarket Square while on strike in 1886. On the anniversary of the Haymarket Affair, we carry their strength in our fight for economic justice and workers’ rights.

Teachers go above and beyond in the classroom every day. America’s unions thank all educators who create opportunities for our kids to learn and grow, and we’ll keep fighting until every teacher can have the strong union contract they need and deserve.

During Public Service Recognition Week, America’s unions thank all public workers who, despite being under attack by the administration, proudly serve their communities and make our essential services run every day. Thank you for all that you do for working people everywhere ✊

I’m in a union — I have friends everywhere.

Spirit Airlines workers are the backbone of affordable air travel. Federal relief must mean no layoffs, no furloughs, and real protections for the people who keep planes moving.

@flyingwithsara.bsky.social sent a letter to DOT Sec. Sean Duffy and Acting Sec. of Labor Keith Sonderling laying out clear demands and actions needed to protect Spirit workers: "Spirit Flight Attendants are not just some asset to be written off in this process." afacwa.org/protect_spir...

Working people over billionaires. Always. #MayDay

Amid attacks on our health and safety, our civil rights, and our very freedom to organize, America’s unions and working people across the country are standing up for a better America that respects our labor and our rights.

Our rights weren’t given—they were fought for and won by workers who refused to accept dismal working conditions. Today, working people carry their strength in our fight for justice. #MayDay

America wasn’t built by greedy billionaires and corporations. Working people all across the country have always been keeping the economy running. Today on May Day, workers are peacefully standing up, speaking out and fighting back.

We’re coming together at events across the country this May Day to celebrate our solidarity and show that we won’t back down when it comes to our union siblings and all working people. Find an event in your community: https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/?q=may%20day

On International Workers’ Day, America’s unions celebrate the strength and solidarity of the labor movement, and we’re committed to building global worker power and justice. Solidarity forever ✊ #MayDay

Working people are living on the edge and struggling to make ends meet. We work harder while our wages don’t budge and the rich get richer. It’s time to show billionaires CEOs the power of our solidarity. Join us tomorrow at a #MayDay event near you: https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/?q=May%20Day

If you are a worker, then May Day is YOUR day. Join us tomorrow as we mobilize and peacefully take action across the country to build our power and solidarity. https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/?q=May%20Day

Every job is now a technology job. But Big Tech Billionaires shouldn’t get to decide who wins and who loses in this new economy. Working people need AI guardrails and a strong voice on the job to make sure THEY are in the driver's seat to define this new tech future.

May Day is about solidarity. Workers are taking action this year to stand up to the corporate billionaires who threaten our rights and freedoms. Join us: https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/?q=may%20day

The AFL-CIO opposes the House’s 2026 farm bill. It fails to address the harmful SNAP changes from last year’s big, ugly bill, attacks the public workforce and jeopardizes worker safety in the food supply chain.

Better pay, better benefits, and economic security. Apprenticeships offer life-changing paths into union jobs that lift up communities. During National Apprenticeship Week, we’re inspired by stories like Caroline’s, and the countless lives changed every year in apprenticeships.

Big Tech billionaires should not be able to play God with our lives and our jobs. Working people need AI guardrails now to protect our jobs, our rights and our freedoms at home and in the workplace. https://bit.ly/4eN4c3a

As the Supreme Court heard arguments on the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and Syria today, America’s unions, workers and allies gathered in support of the nearly 1.3 million TPS holders whose lives will be impacted by this decision.

Today the Supreme Court executed a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act and an outright attack on the fundamental freedoms of working people. America’s unions will keep fighting for reforms to create a democracy where every worker’s voice matters. https://bit.ly/4975CBV

NEW: Voters support multiple pro-worker measures to regulate AI. Strong, bipartisan majorities agree that workers should know if AI is being used to monitor their work and should have decision-making authority over how it’s used by their employer.
