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...

A package of pro-worker legislation became law today. Thank you @governor.ny.gov for your commitment to addressing the real needs and concerns of working people; and thank you @leaderasc.bsky.social and Speaker Heastie for your vital roles in passing these critical pieces of legislation.

Statement by New York State AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento on the Passage of the Big Ugly Betrayal:

Volunteers have been calling union members to encourage them to tell their Representative to vote NO on the Big Ugly Bill until it is amended to protect working people and their families. Will you join them? Sign up for the phone bank tonight: nysaflcio.info/3ZVWED5

Killing jobs and clawing back investment in our communities? The federal budget bill rescinds funds for water infrastructure, rooftop solar power, and emissions reductions projects that would be planned, built, and maintained by American workers. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

The federal budget bill permanently extends $174 billion worth of special breaks for foreign income, incentivising companies to send jobs overseas. #FederalBudgetAbsurdities

The reckless provision in the Senate’s budget bill that would have banned AI regulations for years was rejected and removed—a huge relief for working people. Now is time for senators to stand with working people. Keep fighting and make your voices heard. When we fight, we win!

This is our LAST CHANCE to protect workers in the federal budget. Will you encourage union members to ask their representatives to vote NO on any budget bill that hurts working families? Sign up to volunteer:

The federal budget bill cuts funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which protects consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in the financial services industry. #FederalBudgetAbsurdities

The Federal Budget Bill currently before the Senate is a "Big, Beautiful Betrayal" of working people. On the latest episode of the #UnionStrong pod, @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social discusses the bill and the impact it would have on New Yorkers. Listen or watch:

Thank you to the hundreds for working people who joined us on the Federal Fight Back Call last night. Let's keep this momentum going. Sign up to volunteer for the Federal Fight Back Phone Bank:

It's Primary Election Day! If you didn't vote early, make sure you get to the polls today before they close at 9pm. See who your local labor council endorsed: nysaflcio.info/4k2mhZV

The cuts being considered in the federal budget reconciliation process would be devastating. Join NYS AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento, Senator Chuck Schumer and special guests for a call about how the budget bill could impact you and how we can fight back:

The Budget Reconciliation Bill extracts around $15 billion from the pockets of federal workers, mainly from their pensions. The cuts would impact veterans disproportionately. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

The Budget Reconciliation Bill would reduce the age of dependents from under 18 to under 7 for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Nearly 11 million people, including 4 million children, would lose access. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

On #Juneteenth we remember the effective end of slavery in the US, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

The federal budget bill includes the single largest cut to SNAP, the nation’s most effective anti-hunger program, which helps +40 million people afford groceries each month. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

Healthcare workers need more job protections, not less. #SafeStaffing #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

Under the Budget Reconciliation Bill, people in underserved and rural communities would lose access to healthcare as hospitals and nursing homes close. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

We ❤️ union dads! Happy #FathersDay from America's unions!

Successful labor walk today in support of our sister Jenn Puja for Westchester County Legislator!

Thank you @nysdoh.bsky.social for holding Albany Med accountable. #SafeStaffing

The Budget Reconciliation Bill would implement work requirements for health coverage. This would actually create barriers to maintaining steady employment. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

If federal healthcare funding is cut as proposed in the Budget Reconciliation Bill, NYS could face an annual shortfall of $13.5 billion. New York taxpayers will be stuck with the bill. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

The Budget Reconciliation Bill would kick millions off Medicaid while destroying and weakening alternative healthcare options, including the ACA. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

Make America sicker? The Budget Reconciliation Bill would make healthcare less affordable and less accessible. This is the opposite of what working people need. #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

The House majority claims that their budget bill will balance the budget. It actually lifts the debt ceiling by $4 trillion… #FederalBudgetAbsurditites

Join the NYC rally TODAY: nysaflcio.info/4mZlRGK #FreeDavidEndRaids

The Federal Budget Bill includes a permanent increased tax cut for estates worth up to $30 million. Many of the beneficiaries are already among the highest income-earners. #FederalBudgetAbsurdities
