The unions that represent federal workers aren’t going anywhere. The entire labor movement stands shoulder-to-shoulder with federal sector unions to fight these outrageous attacks on our freedoms. We will not let Trump destroy what we’ve fought for generations to build.

Whenever I give a public speech, the GOP attacks me for working with labor unions. But I’d rather stand alongside unions and working families than crawl at the feet of billionaires.

As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

Breaking news! The court just issued us a TRO in our lawsuit against Elon Musk's DOGE, so that they stop taking the private data of American citizens from the Department of Ed and OPM. More to come.

Going on strike is never easy—it's always a last resort. Educators at El Camino Real Charter HS in Los Angeles started their strike today for a fair contract because the school's board of directors have remained unwilling to make long term commitments to educators.
