California Labor showed up BIG this weekend to talk to voters in every corner of the state about the importance of voting YES on Prop 50!

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This Administration’s suppression of free speech is an attack on all of our freedoms and disturbing move away from what it means to live in a free democracy. The Labor Movement has always defended all working people’s right to free speech without retaliation or censorship.

SB 7 has passed the Legislature and been sent to @governor.ca.gov’s desk.

Your boss should have a soul. That's why we fought for, and passed, SB 7! This critical, first-in-the-nation bill would ensure human oversight over robo bosses in the workplace. SB 7 is the strongest set of AI guardrails in the country, and once again the CA Labor Movement is leading the way!

🚨🚨 THIS IS HUGE! 🚨🚨 California lawmakers just passed SB 7, the No Robo Bosses Act, and soon it will go to @governor.ca.gov desk! This bill is the first of its kind & would be the strongest AI guardrails in the nation taking on the new threat of robobosses.

Happening today!

AB 288 is a landmark, bipartisan, first-in-the-nation bill that will give California workers A REAL RIGHT TO A UNION.

Last night was a watershed moment for the California Labor Movement, as the Senate passed AB 288, a bipartisan bill that makes sure the state can step in and enforce workers' right to organize! We cannot stress enough how big this is; this is one of the most significant labor law reforms in history!

🚨 California Labor showed its power 💪 tonight with the passage of #AB288! This bipartisan bill to make sure CA can step in and enforce the right to organize has now passed both houses with a supermajority and will soon be on @governor.ca.gov desk! California workers deserve a REAL RIGHT TO A UNION!

When we fight, we win! Standing in proud solidarity with our sisters and brothers at Touchstone Workers United, who won FOUR UNION ELECTIONS last night! #UnionizeCalifornia

📣 LISTEN The @ucblaborcenter.bsky.social has a report on the state of unions in California. @californialabor.bsky.social movement is RESILIENT and staying strong because we've doubled down on our commitment to aggressively #UnionizeCalifornia! 💪 This wasn't an accident. Let's break it down 🧵(1/8)

This Labor Day, Labor turned out IN FORCE across California to send a message that this country is for workers, not billionaires. And always remember that when we fight, we win! #UnionStrong #FFS

Today, on Labor Day, the California Labor Movement’s presence was bigger than ever! From San Diego to San Francisco, workers took to the streets to be loud and proud! That’s because we have Faith, Fight and Solidarity! #FFS

Today we stood in strong solidarity with our union brothers and sisters from the @thelafed.bsky.social as they led a Labor Day march and rally in LA!

Faith, fight, and solidarity is the only path forward for American workers, and the California Labor Movement is ready for it. #FFS Wishing you and your families a very happy Labor Day!

Labor Day weekend rolls on! This morning we attended a service at Bethel AME Church in Oxnard for Labor in the Pulpit, and then a barbecue put on by the Central Coast Labor Council!

We were thrilled to join the South Bay Labor Council today for their Labor Day weekend barbecue! #UnionStrong

What are you doing this weekend? Don't just stay at home, put on your favorite union shirt and show up at one of the many Labor Day actions happening across California!

Today we're in Modesto, and California Labor is training the next generation of union organizers to #UnionizeCalifornia!

We stand in resolute solidarity with the workers of the UniteKnotts Coalition, a historic coalition of 23 trade unions and the Orange County Labor Federation, which seeks to empower and represent every worker at Knott's Berry Farm!

🙌 Hundreds of AFSCME members are at the @aflcio.org #BetterInAUnion bus tour in Anaheim, California to demand answers from Rep. Young Kim for why she voted to raise costs on California’s working families & threaten the public services we all depend on.

The California Labor Movement mourns the passing of our brother and friend, Andrew Meredith. Andrew wasn’t just an incredible tradesman and labor leader, he was also a veteran and a committed husband and father. (1/2)

As Veterans Affairs workers continue to deal with rising inflation, healthcare costs, and grocery prices, the same people who claim to “support veterans” are now busting our union. It’s time they fight for those who fought for us. #UnionStrongForVets act.seiu.org/a/supportvaw...

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour continues to make its way through California with a stop in Bakersfield, where our Vice President Sandy Reding spoke today!

California Labor is all in on the congressional redistricting to prevent the Trump Takeover. If Texas Republicans go through with their scheme to rig the 2026 election by gerrymandering their state, our 2.3 million union members stand ready to stop them.

Our Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Freitas was in attendance today as the #BetterInAUnion bus tour came to Inland Empire!

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour is in Corona, CA today to stand with working families as they share how the big, ugly bill is hurting their community. America’s unions will make sure everyone knows who is responsible for the devastating cuts to Medicaid and their essential services.

We stand in mighty solidarity with the West Anaheim Medical Center nurses of the California Nurses Association as they go on strike for a fair contract today!

"It is not inevitable that AI is going to come take away our jobs. It's not inevitable that AI is unregulated." - California Labor Federation President @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social, who co-chairs the @aflcio.org AI task force.

We are proud to stand in solidarity with the OPEIU Local 29 Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation workers as they fight for union recognition! If you're in the Bay Area, come to Boeddeker Park, 246 Eddy St. in San Francisco, to show your solidarity and support!

It is vital that we enact guardrails to protect workers from the worst excesses of AI. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

ICYMI: Yesterday, our president, Lorena Gonzalez, held a livestream discussion with @texasaflcio.org President Rick Levy to talk about the Texas Republican gerrymander and what we're doing about it here in California. We're joining forces to fight back against the Trump Takeover!

If they take away the union rights of the workers who keep our air and water clean and care for veterans (many of whom are veterans themselves), then no union contract is safe under this admin. America’s unions will not be silenced—we’ll get even louder.

Happening now, @californialabor.bsky.social President Lorena Gonzalez is talking with @texasaflcio.org President Rick Levy about fighting back against the attempted Trump Takeover of Congress! It's not too late to sign up to watch: bit.ly/biggerthantexas

On Saturday, August 16, we are fighting back! We won’t let Trump steal the 2026 election! Join us for the National Day of Action!

To work in America is to have dignity. But ICE and exploitation try to strip it away. If one group of workers is hurting, our entire community should feel it. And fight back. @californialabor.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @bravenewfilms.bsky.social

Trump and Abbott’s redistricting scheme is racial gerrymandering with a fresh coat of paint. @cwaunion.bsky.social Local 6215 member and Texas Lead Organizer for @commondefense.bsky.social Britni Cuington stayed late into the night on Friday to testify against this redistricting scheme! #txlege

When we fight, we win. ✊

Today, we are proud to stand in strong solidarity with Teamsters Local 853 and all their union allies as they strike for a real living wage against Westlake Royal Stone Solutions! #Teamsters #TeamsterStrong #Union #UnionStrong #Strike

Job growth over the past three months has fallen to its lowest in more than a decade – and the unemployment rate for Black workers is especially ominous. Our analysis on the July jobs report from AFL-CIO chief economist @darrickhamilton.bsky.social: aflcio.org/press/releas...

It's time to stand in solidarity with our Teamsters Local 853 brothers and sisters as they fight for justice and fair pay! #Solidarity #Union #UnionStrong #Strike
