America’s unions stand in solidarity with our @mnaflcio.org union family as they stand up to the federal government’s militarized immigration enforcement, fight for truth and freedom, and demand ICE peacefully leave Minnesota. Our solidarity is our strength. When we fight, we win.

Working people see what ICE is doing in Minneapolis and still show up for each other. We’ve been counted out, stepped over, and still we rise. March 28, we gather in Minneapolis and across the country to protect our people and demand what we need. #NoKings

Some of your fave high impact players might not officially be High Impact Players… and how that's part of the problem 📈 Sam sat down with the @nwslplayers.bsky.social's Tori Huster to discuss concerns around the High Impact Rule and its criteria.

Our hearts are with our union brother Alex Jeffrey Pretti’s loved ones. America’s unions demand that ICE leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt and that local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability.

Deputy Executive Director Tori Huster joined the USLPA, MLSPA, and the USWNTPA at the Independent Supporters Council Convention in Denver, CO, for an important discussion on what it takes to build a player-led league.
 Thank you to the ISC for bringing Players Associations and supporters together.

America’s unions mourn the senseless killing by federal agents of our AFGE Local 3669 union brother and VA nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti. We reiterate our call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4pVTpFO

On MLK Day, we return to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring question: “What are you doing for others?” A reminder that care, solidarity, and shared responsibility are how lasting change is built  - together.

Yesterday, Meghann Burke was in Washington, D.C., at the Congressional College Athletics Summit, where she joined a panel discussion on strengthening women’s and Olympic sports
 Thank you @demwomencaucus.bsky.social for your leadership defending Title IX protections for women collegiate athletes

In 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “The labor movement was the principal force that transforme­d misery and despair into hope and progress.” Today, America’s unions are fired up and ready to fight so working people can achieve better. #MLK2026

Beginning today, nurses across NYC are on strike for safe staffing and dignity. While CEO’s pocket millions, nurses carry a staffing crisis they didn’t create. We stand with @nynurses.bsky.social #PatientOverProfits

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.

The nearly 15 million workers of the AFL-CIO—including 7 million working women across the country—stand in solidarity with our WNBPA family in demanding @wnba.com Commissioner Engelbert and @nba.com Commissioner Silver pay WNBA players what they’re owed. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT. Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

It’s unacceptable that a corporation can pay their CEO 6,666x what the average worker is paid, while those same workers need food assistance to make ends meet. Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas deserve better. We stand with them in their fight for a fair contract.

“The league has a choice to make,” Burke told me. “They either need to cater to and protect teams unwilling to grow, or unlock potential. They can’t do both.” www.newyorker.com/sports/sport...

A big moment for professional hockey! The Professional Hockey Players’ Association ratified a new agreement with the @echl.bsky.social, strengthening protections and respect on the job. When players organize, they raise the standard for the whole sport. Congratulations to the PHPA!

America’s unions wish you and your loved ones a bright and meaningful Kwanzaa.

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

The entire labor movement is heartbroken by the senseless attack on @cwaunion.bsky.social Local 2222 lineman and Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and Army Spec. Sarah Beckstrom just blocks away from the AFL-CIO House of Labor. Our thoughts are with their families.

David Huerta is back in court TOMORROW because this administration thinks attacking one labor leader will silence millions. They’re wrong. We don’t bend, we don’t bow, and we stand with David today and always. Justice for David. ✊🏿

Kat Williams was a bright light in this world, and in our small town. The world should know her name, and her voice. lovingmemorials.site/kat-williams/

@apwu.bsky.social President Mark Dimondstein is a champion for all workers. He has always stood with America’s unions and secured countless wins for postal workers. We thank him for his service to our labor movement and look forward to working with President Jonathan Smith!

NWSLPA Issues Statement Condemning Attacks on Players:

WNBPA players are fighting for a new contract so they get an equitable share of the profits THEY create. Pay them what you owe them, @wnba.com Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and @nba.com Commissioner Silver! America’s unions have our players’ backs.

@cantwell.senate.gov teams up with @blumenthal.senate.gov, @booker.senate.gov, Andrew Morris, Spencer Haywood, Dwayne Allen, & @meghannburke.bsky.social to discuss how the SCORE Act hurts college athletes. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/form...

Just ordered mine….get yours so they can get theirs.

James Ferguson is and was an inspiration to me. May he rest in power.

On the subject of WNBA pay, here’s some perspective from my January 2020 @wsj.com story, when the current CBA was signed: www.wsj.com/articles/new...

The NWSLPA stands with Jess Carter. There is no place for racist abuse in our sport. Read our Full Statement :

AKB!!!! Proud to claim her as one of @nwslplayers.bsky.social

The Burke's are in the House of Labor.

This July 4th, we’re celebrating the communities we build, the people we stand with, and the solidarity that carries us forward. There’s nothing more American than showing up for each other and fighting for a future where everyone belongs.

🚨The 2026 Free Agency Window is officially open. Thanks to the current CBA, every NWSL player becomes a free agent at the end of their contract—no more thresholds, no more waiting. This is the freedom players fought for: real mobility and a window aligned with the global game.

I'm super stoked about @nwslplayers.bsky.social's new deal with MatchWorn Shirts. The first auction for game-worn jerseys autographed by our members closes tomorrow. Check it out here: www.matchwornshirt.com/category/nws...

Korematsu. Plessy. Dred Scott. Lochner. Curt Flood. Bowers v. Hardwick. The law has moments in history when it has not reflected the lived experiences of people and families who want nothing more than to live healthy, full lives exactly as they are and are meant to be.

NWSLPA Celebrates 2025 Pride Month with a unifying message: “Before Anything Else, We Are Human.”
