Boulder Areas Labor Council endorses in Boulder and Longmont announced tinyurl.com/BALC-endorsements. Let's get labor advocates in every town!

WGA WRITERS protest abc & disney : “Writers against fascism — this isn’t just about Kimmel, it’s about our ability to say what we want and not be punished by the state… a chilling effect… you don’t capitulate to bullies…” (from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social )

“I’m out here fighting for justice, for respect, for better wages. I’ll be out here till we win this fight.” @unitehere.org Local 23 members are on the picket line because one job should be enough! This is the first strike of Texas hotel workers in modern history. ✊🏽

Here's the American Federation of Musicians statement on state censorship of the Jimmy Kimmel show. #Union

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

BALC endorsement process has begun! We're interviewing candidates in Boulder, Broomfield, Lafayette and Longmont! If you're a union member, join our interviews to help find our local labor advocates! We will announce the week of Sept 22

Blessed to have CBTU walk with us at the Louisville Labor Day Parade, with sister Pat Gibson Johnson leading our rally chants. Nice coverage from Denver7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYH5..., featuring President Pettiford of CBTU, also a delegate on BALC. #cbtu #counions

This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...

San Diego stands with working families! Join @sdiclaborcouncil.bsky.social and allies on Workers’ Labor Day on Monday for a rally to demand a stop to the billionaire takeover. www.mobilize.us/aflcio/event...

This is why we can't have nice things. The Sunshine Act SB25-004, which has common sense regulations on AI, is now being totally undermined by Democrats. All because Big Tech doesn't want to be held liable for what they build. Dems, stop selling us to Big Tech. Sign here tinyurl.com/co-sunshine.

Join BALC at Longmont community engagement on raising minimum wage in Longmont, joining the rest of the Boulder County. act.aflcio.org/events/join-...

How to read tech speak. "You'll stifle innovation with AI regulation" really means "we don't have a viable biz model so we need to exploit you via your data to make money". Call Colorado House Reps today, no on HB25-1008. Call Senate SB25-04 for a yes vote.

Spent last few days fighting the robot bosses at state special session, but taking a break for our tour of local labor history in Lafayette. A few spots open, join us at 10a today! mobilize.us/s/WZseUb

Join BALC as we celebrate the fight for workers rights. Colorado was the first state in 1887 to celebrate Labor Day, and we proudly carry on that tradition by participating in the Louisville Labor Day Parade and with a rally of our own at the end. Event info: mobilize.us/s/zFEwbS

On #WorkersLaborDay, we’ll show billionaires who we are and how we fight. We will stand together to speak up and demand better. #WorkersDeserve freedom, fairness and security, and we WILL fight for an economy that works for workers. Join us! workerslaborday.org

While BALC won't do endorsements until after Labor Day, just gotta say, Jake Marsing is saying all the right things, and somebody we're watching closely to shape up to be a local labor advocate.

We have the votes in Congress to overturn President Trump’s union-busting executive order. As @repcasar.bsky.social said, every member of Congress who supports America’s unions and workers needs to sign the discharge petition to give the Protect America’s Workforce Act a vote.

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social THANK. YOU. In all caps because you’re so damn good at making us laugh *and* think. And for using your mic to help save us. All hail Josh Johnson.

Love seeing my union siblings from Alphabet Workers Union standing up for their rights as workers! I miss organizing with you guys, but proud of all the work you're doing https! www.instagram.com/reel/DMIx-eU...

Online voting on Governor Polis’ $28.5M Capitol pedestrian bridge project closes at midnight Monday. I appreciate that he included my commentary opposing the project on his online survey page. www.co150walkway.com/feedback

We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it. Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation. We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

Wishing good luck to the Starbucks workers at Lafayette store for today's union vote! Let's get the Boulder area back to being union strong! #starbucks #1u #unionstrong #tobeapartner

America's unions cannot overstate the Senate budget reconciliation bill's overwhelming harm for working families. We condemn the Senate Republicans for doubling down on a bill that raises costs, wipes out jobs, and rips health care away from 17 million people. aflcio.org/press/releas...

1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Call 202-224-3121 and urge your Congressman and Senator to "Vote NO"!

The Blackburn/Cruz amendment on AI regulation is not an improvement – in fact, the new “undue or disproportionate burden" language is worse. We urge senators to pass an amendment to strike the state AI provision in full and vote no on this so-called "compromise."

As the Senate is gearing up to vote on "The Big Awful Bill" soon, let's make sure they hear our voices loud-n-clear. Every single one of them needs to know they need to fight back. No cuts that hurt workers, no cuts to Medicaid & SNAP and definitely do NOT de-regulate AI!! Call now 231-400-0602!

Join the Solidarity Sip-In to show community support for the Starbucks baristas in prep for their election day! 3p-6p today, at the 287 and South Boulder Rd Starbucks. Visit the store, order a drink made "Union Strong," and voice your support for their fight! President Beatty is aiming for 5p.

Workers should be making the decisions about AI in their workplace, not big tech CEOs. We urge the Senate to remove the reckless provision in the budget bill that would ban states from passing or enforcing AI laws that protect workers for the next decade.

Happy Juneteenth! Honor this day by going out and making some necessary trouble.

Appreciating all the work put on by Colorado Foundation for Universal Healthcare to move forward a better plan, saving money and saving more lives. Happy to hear emphasis on working with Labor. Our Rep Mccormick from Longmont did excellent work here. #co4uhc

Governor Polis plans to VETO the Worker Protection Act. Statement from Dennis Dougherty, co-chair of Colorado Worker Rights United and @coloradoaflcio executive director

The Colorado House just heard the Worker Protection Act! This bill is a fair shot at strong unions and an economy that works for all of us. Governor Polis, sign this bill & stand with the workers who power our economy every day. #coleg

Local Mayday events! May 1st, 3p-5pm Mayday Rally for Workers & Immigration Rights @ Colorado State Capitol. Mariachi band, food trucks and a march to boot! www.instagram.com/p/DIl5gaKRZB...

Local Mayday events! May 1st, 11a-1pm NOAA in Boulder. Another 50501 event, BALC president (me), Mayor Brockett, Councilmember Nicole Speer and DA Michael Doughtery slated to talk along with local workers. www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

We commend the court for recognizing the Trump administration’s executive order stripping collective bargaining rights for what it was: illegal, retaliatory union-busting. We won’t rest until this illegal order is struck down once and for all. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Boulder Area Labor Council will honor MLK Jr's legacy by continuing to fight for our human rights, our rights to thrive in communities that care for ALL people's.
