Safe patient care is not optional. Hospital execs have a responsibility to bargain in good faith to reach an agreement that puts patients first and provides safe working conditions for the nurses who care for our communities. Solidarity with the @nynurses.bsky.social #SafeStaffingSavesLives

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

Federal workers — and ALL working people — are tired of the Trump administration’s DOGE/Project 2025 agenda. We need a government that is focused on making workers’ lives better, not firing the people who make our communities and essential services run. https://wapo.st/3YaJuAR

A statement from NYC CLC President Brendan Griffith on the Trump administration halting offshore wind projects already underway.

The Labor Movement stands with NYC private sector @nynurses.bsky.social who voted 97% Yes to authorize a strike. Nurses don’t want to strike but are willing to do whatever it takes for safe staffing, workplace safety, and the healthcare they deserve. 💪 #SafeStaffingSavesLives

Families are already being crushed by rising costs. They shouldn’t have their health insurance premiums more than double now, too. Congress going home before fixing the health care crisis is unacceptable. It’s time to put working people first. https://nbcnews.to/4auOI1Q

✊ The WNBPA also announced Thursday that its members have voted overwhelmingly to authorize calling a strike "when necessary." nycclc.org/news/labor-s...

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

#ICYMI this week: The NYC Council voted to pass the Construction Justice Act, Intro 0910, a labor-supported bill that establishes clear community hiring and compensation standards for city-assisted housing development projects.

Firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers who care for veterans, inspect food, send seniors their Social Security checks does nothing to help families. Federal workers make America run, but the Trump admin’s DOGE/Project 2025 agenda hurts everyone. https://n.pr/4pH2xih

Big news! Julie Su as Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice brings deep experience enforcing labor law, fighting wage theft, and standing up for working families.

The New York City Council yesterday passed the Aland Etienne Safety and Security Act. The legislation guarantees wage, benefits, and paid time off standards for the city’s 81,900 private security officers. Read: nycclc.org/news/histori...

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right: Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

Historic win for NYC workers! Intro 910 has passed, raising wages and standards on City-funded projects thanks to the hard-fought advocacy of Laborers Local 79, Mason Tenders, Greater NY LECET and their allies.

Solidarity means showing up for each other — across backgrounds, across borders, across workplaces and across industries. On International Migrants Day, America’s unions remain committed to making sure ALL working people, regardless of status, are protected at work and at home.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re so grateful for our @apwu.bsky.social postal workers, @lettercarriers.bsky.social and LIUNA NPMHU mail handlers who make sure our gifts, holiday cards and letters make it to our loved ones. Thank you for all you do to help make the holidays special.

Jahmila Edwards’ appointment as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs is a win for NYC’s working people and a signal that labor voices will help shape how this administration works with Albany and Washington. We’re ready to get to work together!

In our workplaces, in our communities and in our government, the right to vote is how we make our voices heard. But threats to the Voting Rights Act silence workers’ voices. Working people built this democracy, and we’ll defend it. More from AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond:

TSA officers organized for years to secure union contracts—and DHS is trying to rip them up before the holiday travel rush where officers will have to keep millions of Americans safe without a voice on the job. This union-busting puts all of us at risk. https://bit.ly/3XWWMRs

Over 200 drivers at Amazon’s DBK1 facility in Queens have organized a union with Teamsters Local 804. Workers marched on company mgmt to demand a union contract, joining nearly 10,000 Amazon workers across five states who have organized with the Teamsters. nycclc.org/news/amazon-...

When federal workers have a strong voice on the job, it helps the government better serve working people. As the Protect America’s Workforce Act—our bill to restore federal workers’ union rights—heads to the Senate, we stand with them against President Trump’s union-busting.

Happy Hanukkah from NYC's Labor Movement!

The Governor signed two bills championed by SAG-AFTRA that safeguard both performers and the public from unauthorized or deceptive A.I. uses.

To the crews working to clear our streets and the workers that keep our City up & running despite the weather. Stay safe out there.

Federal workers care for veterans, inspect our food, keep our air and water clean and so much more. They need a strong voice on the job to keep our services running. The House stood with them in their fight to get their union rights back. https://wapo.st/4s9gpDI

Workers are being crushed by rising costs. The last thing we need is for health care costs to increase even more. We urge senators to stop health care price hikes, save 130,000 workers’ jobs and support a clean, multiyear extension of the ACA tax credits. https://bit.ly/48PCLkQ

We are proud to stand with Local 28 Sheet Metal workers calling for greater fire safety through qualified inspections of smoke damper systems. City Council must bring intro 88 to a vote. The over 40 sponsors of this legislation agree that this common sense bill will save lives.

The clock is ticking. If Congress doesn’t extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, millions of working families will see their health insurance costs more than double. This is a health care crisis that working families can’t afford. https://nbcnews.to/4rNGLL1

On this day 70 years ago, in a historic move that changed the course of the labor movement forever, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, the two largest labor federations, merged to form the AFL-CIO. Happy Founding Day!

In the new year, workers are facing skyrocketing health insurance costs — they could double, triple or worse. With prices rising on everything else, these price spikes would be devastating for families. It’s time to put working people first and fix this health care crisis.
