Farm workers stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. Starbucks baristas have been fighting for a fair union contract for close to 4 years. Just like many farm workers, @sbworkersunited.org is fighting back against greedy union busting employers. #NoContractNoCoffee

Three weeks in and the Starbucks strike has grown to 3,000 workers.

Even “affordable” rentals are too expensive for Portlanders, yet landlords refuse to lower costs and help keep us housed. We’re in a Renters’ State of Emergency, and it’s time to take action and enact policies that benefit working class people, not the wealthy. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

The wealthy set wages, rig employment levels, create job requirements, and put a price on necessities then blame poor people when they can’t afford necessities and can’t find jobs. It’s not about finding a better job, it’s about stopping working class exploitation.

SNAP modifications that increase work requirements for “able-bodied adults” will impact 62K Oregonians. Being “able-bodied” doesn’t equate to work opportunity or guarantee a living wage. It only serves to continue to punish poor people for being poor. www.newsweek.com/snap-benefit...

Federal unions are essential and Congress is about to vote on a bill to reverse President Trump’s executive order that took away their bargaining rights. Tell your reps: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act and save 1 million federal workers’ union rights. act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Thousands of Starbucks workers are on strike for a living wage and better working conditions. Stand with them by boycotting Starbucks until it can strike a fair contract. sbworkersunited.org @sbworkersunited.org

Unskilled labor doesn’t exist; that’s why it’s called labor. And EVERY worker deserves a living wage — from pouring coffee to operating heavy equipment. Working class solidarity above ALL.

I’m eager to join thousands of Oregonians in the stands when Portland Fire returns to the court. But WNBA players shouldn’t have to fight for basic respect. Join me in telling Commissioner Engelbert and Adam Silver to negotiate in good faith! @TheWNBPA actionnetwork.org/letters/wnba...

Starbucks baristas are on strike. Now’s a good time to check out one of the hundreds of locally owned coffee shops in Oregon. #NoContractNoCoffee

Trump is calling his administration the “golden age” for working class people, while: Stealing health care from 15 million people, Doubling insurance costs for 20 million, and

Trump’s admin is building a $250 million ballroom as hundreds of thousands of workers are furloughed and millions are about to lose food assistance and see their health insurance costs double. This is the so-called “golden age for workers” his administration is creating.

Aishiki Nag hits the nail on the head with this op-ed. Everyday workers are the ones suffering under this shutdown. dailyemerald.com/172700/opini...

The National Labor Relations Board has now been shutdown for 22 days, leaving millions of organizing workers in limbo. We’ve compiled a list of impacts and what you can do in the meantime to build power for you and your coworkers:

When workers and our communities are bound by solidarity, there’s not a bully in the world we can’t effectively take on. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Oregon is not a military target, regardless of what Trump or his appointed judges may think. 40,000+ Oregonians made it clear on Saturday when we peacefully marched the streets of our cities: Oregon is home, not a military target. nwlaborpress.org/2025/10/oreg...

Thousands of workers showed up to march under one Oregon Labor banner on Saturday. We’re not going to stand by and watch our jobs, our rights, and our community be ripped away. #NoKingsOregon

Oregon Labor is standing with the thousands of Kaiser workers in Oregon who are on strike and fighting for patient wellbeing. ✊

The average Oregonian makes $68K a year. It would take nearly 15,000 years for us to make $1 billion. Billionaires aren’t billionaires because they work hard. They’re billionaires because WE work hard.

Working Oregonians can’t afford a government shutdown. Our federal workers are exhausted with the constant attacks. The Trump administration is jeopardizing our key government services and using workers as their pawns. #StopTheTrumpShutdown

Teachers are making 27% less than their peers. Guess how much other college graduates’ pay has increased? Over 30%. www.epi.org/press/the-te...

We're so glad to hear that Rigoberto Hernandez Hernandez is free thanks to the efforts by Innovation Law Lab, Oregon for All, and PCUN. innovationlawlab.org/press-releas...

➡️20,000 Oregonians could lose health insurance ➡️607,000 health care workers could lose their jobs nationwide These health care price hikes must be stopped. act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

I’m proud to stand in solidarity in this fight to free a Keizer firefighter who was detained by ICE while working on the Bear Gulch Fire. The Oregon labor movement is supporting this brave and necessary legal action. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Immigrants aren't standing between you and a good paying job. Billionaires are.

Join us between 11:30 and 2:30 on Sept. 17th as we have a tailgate party and rally in support of Labcorp workers, currently bargaining their first contract! We need to show management that patients, workers and community advocates are united in our demands for a better future at Labcorp! #labcorp

Our workers are voting at record speed on the question of whether or not to authorize a strike at Kaiser. The issues? Unfair pay, unsafe staffing, a lack of a voice and the need to ensure great care in the future. www.kdrv.com/news/top-sto...

The Oregon AFL-CIO is proud to announce that at our 2025 convention, delegates from unions across the state unanimously voted to pass a resolution endorsing and committing to help support the Equal Rights for All ballot measure! www.oraflcio.org/post/oregon-...

I’m proud to share that at our Oregon AFL-CIO convention last week, Oregon’s unions unanimously voted to endorse the Equal Rights For All ballot measure in 2026! katu.com/news/local/o...

Fact: Billionaires have the power to provide good-paying jobs for every person, regardless of whether they are a natural born citizen or a newcomer to our country. Immigrants aren’t standing between us and good-paying jobs, billionaires are.

Workers have always been and will always be the backbone of Oregon nwlaborpress.org/2025/08/agai...

Lattice Semiconductor in Hillsboro paid their CEO 1,300 times what their workers made. Read that again. America’s top CEOs made 258 times their workers last year. We have to take back the power for the working class. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

I’m standing with the Windmill Mushroom Farm workers and boycotting their product until workers get union recognition!✊ ufw.org/windmillboyc...

No one should be afraid to go to work. Oregon labor stands in solidarity with these workers and will continue to take up their fight for freedom and justice! www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/l...

I am disgusted to hear that Washington Windmill Mushroom farmworkers have been fighting for a union for over three years. It’s time for working class Oregonians to stand in solidarity until this injustice is righted!

State of Oregon workers fought like hell for these incredible contracts. Congratulations to these vital @seiu.org Local 503 and @oregonafscme.bsky.social workers on this TA! www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

I’m standing in solidarity with Kaiser workers, repped by @ofnhp.bsky.social, as they fight for a fair contract!

60 years ago, Medicaid was born from the belief that healthcare is a right. Now, this administration is ripping it away from working people to hand bigger tax cuts to billionaires. We see it. We won’t forget. And we will fight back. #CancelTrumpsMedicaidCuts www.ajc.com/news/2025/07...

Unions are the most popular major institution in America — we’re more popular than ice cream, Taylor Swift, or any politician. We are the most powerful force for change in our rigged economy, and we will never stop fighting for a more equitable landscape for working people!

COMMENT: Trump's "big beautiful bill" is a bill that forces working families to pay higher bills, with an estimated $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, says @graham-oregon.bsky.social | NW Labor Press buff.ly/KSTbytM

The @aflcio.org's annual Executive Paywatch report shows that CEOs made 285x what their workers did last year. That’s unacceptable, but we don’t have to stand for it. Unions are the single most effective strategy to take back the power for working people. aflcio.org/paywatch

It was so energizing to gather with labor leaders at @wslc.bsky.social's 2025 Convention! In the northwest, workers are organizing to protect every worker and build a better, more equitable future.

Oregon’s largest union, @SEIULocal503, represents state workers that make Oregon run. They deserve a living wage and the ability to support themselves and their families. I’m standing in solidarity and calling on our state to settle a fair contract now!

Trump’s budget bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since the 1800s. Does that sound like a win for working people to you? nwlaborpress.org/2025/07/anot...

Oregon labor is standing in solidarity with every worker and union in this fight ✊ labornotes.org/2025/07/figh...

Here's another harm from the awful reconciliation bill that hasn't gotten a lot of attention. As @graham-oregon.bsky.social writes, the monstrous bill Congress passed will destroy lots of jobs

When you shop for and eat fruit this summer, remember the farmworkers who picked that fruit. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Portland’s minimum wage is $11 behind rising costs of living. Continuing to raise these wages is vital for working class Oregonians. livingwage.mit.edu/metros/38900

The Senate GOP has failed working class Americans by passing the budget reconciliation bill, a bill that will eliminate health care and jobs for millions of people. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Working class Oregonians made history this week by winning the most robust unemployment for striking workers bill that allows both private and public sector workers to have vital financial protection while exercising their right to fight for better working conditions!
