What you’ve been waiting for 👀 See where and when to come out and support SBWU Colorado workers! See you in the picket line ✊

The money collected in this fundraiser will go directly to the employees of Starbucks on Woodmen and Marksheffel so that they may continue to pay their bills, buy groceries, and meet other financial needs. www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike! We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs. RT if you're with us ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

NO CONTRACT? NO COFFEE!! 🚫☕️ Proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org workers on the picket lines yesterday, today, and every day until their demands are met. Sign the pledge today! starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/petitions/no...

$96 million for 120 days of work. $15/hour for baristas who can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s not “the best job in retail.” That’s greed.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The shutdown has gone on so long, we've run out of clever ways to say it, so we'll just say it: Federal workers have been locked out or working with no pay for over a month. The Trump admin and their allies in Congress must fund the government and fix the health care crisis NOW.

Elon Musk spent his year inflicting as much pain as possible on America’s federal workers and breaking the essential services that working people rely on. 
 And now he’s being handed a trillion-dollar paycheck on a silver platter.   Disgusting.

Join workers fighting back against FOUR years of union busting to stop @sbworkersunited.org workers from getting a fair contract. Starbuck’s new CEO Brian Niccol makes $95 million a year, a 6666:1 ratio from boss to worker pay. starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/events/color...

Have you checked to see what your Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium will be for 2026? Did you get sticker shock? Help us spread the word that we’re facing a health care crisis. Post a picture of your increase! #PostYourPremium

Even as the news is flooded with families devastated to discover their health premiums are doubling or tripling - bills they simply can’t afford - the Trump admin is still refusing to extend the ACA tax breaks. Tell Trump and his allies in Congress: stop the health care crisis!

Last night, voters across the country sent a clear message: when candidates stand with workers, they win. And these wins were just the beginning - we will continue to take back our country from the billionaire CEOs who control our economy and our lives. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Colorado sent a clear message tonight: no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach. While Republicans in Washington play politics with our families, our food and our health care, Colorado is stepping up, keeping Healthy School Meals for All alive for 600,000 kids.

All workers deserve safety, fair wages, and dignity on the job. Today, we joined Casa Bonita United on their picket line. Proud to stand with these and all workers in the fight for worker justice ✊

Casa Bonita workers are on strike! Sign their petition actionnetwork.org/petitions/i-...

🛑 USDA has informed states they can’t issue Nov. SNAP benefits while the government is shutdown, so Nov. benefits are currently on hold. 🚨 The federal Administration should fulfill its obligation to feed families and use its SNAP contingency reserves. 📢 Learn more: bit.ly/co_snapupdates

This weekend, our Young Worker Community Organizer Len Harris MC’ed the Denver No Kings protest, part of the largest protest in American history. We are proud to stand with millions of American workers to proudly pronounce NO KINGS ✊

Union strong, democracy strong. Working people deserve a say — not rule by kings. Stand with us on Oct 18th in Denver — march + fair, 12–4 PM.

Denver Art Museum workers need you to take action! After more than a year of bargaining, they’re still fighting for fair pay, reasonable workloads, and basic dignity at work. actionnetwork.org/letters/show...

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to celebrate those who first called this land home. America’s unions recognize the struggles and tragedies they have endured, and we honor the many indigenous communities and cultures that have contributed to the story of our labor movement.

Last week, we held our 35th biannual Constitutional Convention where delegates representing the wide and diverse membership came together to make important decisions on the future of the labor movement.

SOLIDARITY with the teachers of District 11 Colorado Springs Education Association ✊❤️ All students deserve: safer schools, brighter futures, and classrooms where they can thrive—free from political agendas.

Friends of Labor: Please join us this Thursday, Oct 9th, from 5:30-7:30 pm on Auraria Campus in the Student Commons Building (ACAD) room 1600 as we celebrate and launch a new coalition dedicated to making labor education more accessible.

Solidarity with Casa Bonita United during their election ✊

Proud to join @sbworkersunited.org at their practice picket today ✊ Starbucks workers are ready to strike for their contract. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol makes 6,666x what a worker makes. These closures aren’t about boycotting, they’re about suppressing unions.

The Trump admin is holding our country hostage with a reckless shutdown if Congress doesn’t make even bigger cuts to health care—on top of the radical Medicaid cuts in the Big, Ugly Bill. It needs to fund the government and fix the health care crisis now.

It would take Starbucks just 1 day of sales to finalize fair union contracts for over 12,000 workers. JUST ONE DAY. Tell Starbucks you stand with union baristas. Sign the No Contract No Coffee pledge! bit.ly/NoContractNoCoffee bsky.app/profile/sbwo...

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year. They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency. Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

We are proud to stand in unwavering solidarity with organizing IATSE workers at NRG Services in New Mexico ✊ @iatse.bsky.social

Thank you @crow.house.gov and @joeneguse.bsky.social for hosting Labor Roundtables yesterday! It is critical that labor have a seat at the table, so we appreciate these important conversations.

Health care costs are about to explode. Unless Congress acts, more than 90% of people enrolled in ACA health plans—over 22 million people who receive premium tax credits to make their coverage more affordable—will face out-of-pocket premium increases averaging more than 75%.

“D11 teachers are going on strike this fall because our Board of Education is full of anti-union, anti-teacher and anti-student members,” said educator and Colorado Springs Education Association (CSEA) member Sam Farnham. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/09/teac...

Congratulations to all the workers who made last night’s #Emmys2025 awards happen, and the union members whose talent and hard work on screen and off made this year’s incredible nominated television productions possible!

We need the Protect America's Workforce Act, which would restore the union rights of VA employees and others in the federal government who have been targeted by President Trump. federalnewsnetwork.com/federal-news...

This month we honor the power and resilience Latino workers bring to the workforce everyday. And particularly in our current political environment, commit to fight for and protecting the safety and dignity of every Latino and immigrant worker. ¡Sí de puede!

Thanks to everyone that joined our labor history bike tour through downtown Denver yesterday! Denver is a union town!

Labor Day vibes ✊✨ Across the country yesterday, America's unions stood up, spoke out and fought for ALL working people, because everyone deserves freedom, fairness and security.

Happy Labor Day! ✊📰 Across the country, NewsGuild members are winning strong contracts, fighting layoffs and building power on the job. Our victories this year prove what happens when journalists and media workers stand together. Solidarity today and every day. 💪

Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the workers who make America run and make our labor movement unstoppable. We’ll keep fighting so ALL working people get the freedom, fairness and security they need and deserve. Thank you to all our partners and allies who attended our Labor Day BBQ last week!

This #LaborDayWeekend, we honor the #workers who make our homes, families, and communities stronger. Among them are the nation’s three million home care workers—the majority women, people of color, and immigrants—who provide essential care to older adults and people with disabilities.

This special session, corporate Dems won big for corporations and big tech by delaying the implementation of a AI protection law. We will never stop fighting against AI discrimination and overreach in housing, employment and education ✊

Call your state representative and senator today and tell them to vote NO on House Bill 1008, the tech giant and venture capitalist bill, and vote YES on Senate Bill 4, the AI sunshine act

Stop the Tech Giant Power Grab! NO on Lindstedt/Carter Bill actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...
