Happy International Nurses Day to all nurses, especially our union siblings in @aft.org and @opeiu.org. We are proud to stand in solidarity with you in the fight for safe staffing, fair wages, and more - today and everyday.

~600 employees at the Fortune Society and the Osborne Association, two nonprofits that serve recently incarcerated people, announced that they are forming unions with @opeiu.org/ @opeiulocal153.bsky.social last week. We stand with them. www.thecity.nyc/2026/05/01/f...

This week marks #NationalNursesWeek: a celebration of the contributions and compassion of nurses, which too often go unnoticed. OPEIU is proud to represent nurses and healthcare professionals across the country. THANK YOU to every union nurse out there fighting for patients over profits!

Joelle Naeole-Corona is an OPEIU Local 30 trustee and steward at Kaiser Permanente, where she works as a hospital aide. Hailing from a union family, Naeole said the best way to empower AAPI workers is to ensure "members are valued, recognized for their hard work, and empowered in the workplace."

“[U]nions must aggressively stay ahead of the changes and seize the moment by being adaptable, uplifting workers’ voices and mobilizing behind a clear set of moral principles,” writes OPEIU President Tyler Turner (@tyleropeiu.bsky.social).

Local 29 members aren't just fighting for their jobs and a fair contract. They're fighting corporate greed, the decay of our country's healthcare system and growing disregard for workers' right to collectively bargain Endless solidarity with the Dameron Hospital workers. You are not alone

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap has widened. Women working full-time, year-round, now earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn. That's down from 83 cents a year ago, and 84 cents the year prior. We can and must end the gender pay gap & ensure equal pay for equal work. #EqualPayDay

The 32 hour work week is the future! Proud OPEIU is leading the charge on this. @opeiulocal153.bsky.social @kickstarterunited.org

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam targeting working people who don’t have the time or money to get a passport or stand in a DMV-style line to chase down their documents. Make your voice heard. Tell your senators: stop the SAVE America Act! https://bit.ly/4rvhAeV

Public sector workers in Virginia are one step closer to winning full collective bargaining rights statewide. ✊

Thanks @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, Labor Caucus Co-Chairs, and the other signers of this important letter in support of interpreters at Teleperformance. DPE was proud to be with @opeiu.org @aslunion.bsky.social leaders during their visits to Capitol Hill over the past few months.

ASL & spoken word interpreters keep our communities connected every day and deserve fair wages and better working conditions. That's why, with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and over 70 House Democrats, we are calling on Teleperformance to respect interpreters' right to organize ✊

Extremely disappointing to see Virginia legislators turn their backs on working people again.

New @opeiu.org pres is in the house! ✊

Congrats to the workers at IRC Charlottesville and Richmond! Your strength and solidarity power our movement. OPEIU’s future is brighter because of you.

"I recognize this campaign to uphold 'right-to-work' laws for what it is — old-fashioned union busting." OPEIU Local 2's Linda Bridges authored a column in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today on the Virginia legislature's failure to repeal "right-to-work" — and why it's so desperately needed.

OPEIU Local 30 Executive Director Marianne Giordano penned an op-ed in the Denver Post, calling for Gov. Polis to support state lawmakers' efforts to make it easier to form a union in the state of Colorado. "The law as it stands does not reflect Coloradans’ values," she writes.

Despite a broken labor law system and an anti-union administration, workers are organizing across the country for better wages, benefits and working conditions. (via @epi.org)

OPEIU mourns the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose legacy as a civil rights leader continues to inspire the civil rights and labor movements.
