"We know full well that the Trump Administration’s EOs to deny more than one million federal workers their bargaining rights on a bogus national security rationale make this the most anti-labor, anti-worker administration in United States history." - Matt Biggs, IFPTE www.ifpte.org/news/with-fe...

Congratulations to the musicians of Orchestra Iowa who are @afm-union.bsky.social members on their new union contract that includes a 12% pay raise over three years! www.thegazette.com/music/orches...

Collective bargaining has played a critical role in fostering safe, productive, and collaborative workplaces in the federal government. We need the Protect America's Workforce Act to ensure federal employees' union rights are restored and protected. www.afge.org/publication/...

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...

The decision to rescind public media funding, which was supported by the Trump administration, is hurting rural communities whose residents face losing access to public TV & radio stations & the news, educational content & life-saving emergency alerts they provide. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

The WGAE announced the results of its 2025 Council election. Elected members will serve a two-year term, the first full day of which is today. Welcome President Tom Fontana, Secretary-Treasurer Sasha Stewart, and all our newly elected officers! Results: www.wgaeast.org/2025-wgae-co...

Thanks @pingree.house.gov for fighting to restore public media funding in the House Appropriations Committee. Good jobs and free educational content are at risk.

"'The court will be there physically, but there will be no judges to hear the cases,' union president Matt Biggs said about what could happen if the downsizing trend continues. He said the administration now has 600 judges nationwide, down from 700 at the end of the Biden administration."
