An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

Tonight, DHS is targeting 47,000 TSA officers and AFGE members, a second attempt to union-bust in retaliation for workers standing up for their rights. Congress must act to protect TSA officers and aviation safety. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

IFPTE Celebrates a Working Majority of the House of Representatives Rejecting Trump’s Federal Sector Union-Busting www.ifpte.org/news/f7uhapu...

@golden.house.gov has called for a vote on the Protect America’s Workforce Act, the bipartisan bill to reverse President Trump’s union-busting executive order and restore union rights for 1 MILLION federal workers. Let’s get it done for America’s workers!

The House has voted to bring up the bill to reverse Trump’s unionbusting executive order, 222-200. A working bipartisan majority is moving to support fed workers’ bargaining rights. More votes tomorrow to get it finally passed in the House!

This is a vote to restore union rights to a million federal workers after Trump committed the single biggest act of unionbusting in US history. Call your member of Congress and tell them: Pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act.

Thank you, @golden.house.gov and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, for standing with working people and leading the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote. Now it’s time for a clean, standalone vote to restore federal workers’ collective bargaining rights. ✊

This is a huge win for working people! The Protect America’s Workforce Act, our bill to restore the union rights for 1 million federal workers, is getting a vote in Congress this week! Thank you, @golden.house.gov and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, for standing with America’s workers.

Affordability is dominating the discourse. What I don't like about the conversation is that it focuses almost entirely on prices—as if the only way to make life affordable is to make things cheaper. But affordability is determined by prices *and pay.* 1/

They’re pulling out.

BREAKING: A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history! 2,500 union baristas across 120+ stores in 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike. We're SIXTEEN DAYS in and only getting stronger ✊

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI. He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

As you do your last-minute shopping for Thanksgiving, remember to buy union-made goods! #BetterInAUnion https://aflcio.org/union-thanksgiving

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Windmill Farms workers are fighting for a union! Support their boycott. This holiday season, don’t buy Windmill mushrooms! ¡Los trabajadores de Windmill Farms están luchando por una Unión! Apoya su boicot. ¡Estas fiestas, no compres hongos Windmill! #BoycottWindmillMushrooms

When Starbucks baristas formed a union, they created a democracy in their workplace. The company has been trying to bust that democracy. Don’t let them. Stand up for democracy. Boycott Starbucks until the strikers tell us otherwise. Don’t cross picket lines. Don’t buy Starbucks.

November 23 - Strike Like an Egyptian On this day in labor history, we are going way, way, way back. The year was 1170 B.C. So the exact date is a bit of an estimate. Egyptian workers initiated what just might be the first recorded strike in world history. The workers were toiling on public works

Walmart said their “cheaper” Thanksgiving basket proves prices are down. What they didn’t say is that it has fewer items & cheaper substitutes. Thanksgiving dinner is up 10% this year and some staples are up nearly 60%! New report from @groundwork.bsky.social, @tcfdotorg.bsky.social, & @aft.org.

It’s time to close the gender pay gap once and for all. A union contract is how we start to balance the scales and make sure women — and all workers — get the equal pay, dignity and respect they deserve.

We have the bill AND the bipartisan support to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers! It’s time to get it done. Tell your representatives: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

When our starting pay is this low and our scheduled hours don’t qualify us for benefits, the numbers just don’t add up. Starbucks has a higher CEO-to-worker pay gap than ANY business in the S&P 500. It would cost them less than a single day’s sales to finalize a fair contract!

Musk played hide the bot farm. *I knew that conscious philosopher account was foreign.

Remember the war on Christmas? I guess unfettered, unregulated AI has joined it in a surprise attack near London.

Increasingly the words “slop” and “AI” go together.

Workers from @sbworkersunited.org put their bodies on the line today, shutting down Starbucks' distribution center in York, PA, the largest in the US Stand in solidarity with these working-class heroes, DON'T BUY STARBUCKS ANYWHERE UNTIL THEY WIN THEIR STRIKE

My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

RT IF YOU SEE YOUR BARISTA 👀🔥 Starbucks has amassed more unfair labor practice complaints than any company in modern history, so we're on ULP strike! We're demanding higher pay, better scheduling, and an end to union-busting. #NoContractNoCoffee

During the Revolutionary War, Charlotte became known as a "Hornets' nest of rebellion" for resisting British General Cornwallis' attempts to occupy the city, forcing him to retreat. The NBA's Charlotte Hornets get their nickname from our history. I hope we live up to it against ICE/CBP. #CLT #ncpol

Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract *** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY*** Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

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

Extending $4 trillion in tax cuts this summer overwhelmingly benefiting the rich? That required only 51 votes. Extending tax credits for working class people’s health care - the ACA extensions? That will take 60 votes. Goalposts moved, depending on class.

Apparently, there’s a FREE sandwich lying on a street in Georgetown if you know where to look.

What's REALLY scary? Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in all of the S&P 500... meanwhile, stores are understaffed and the company won't finalize union contracts. Burbank, CA is rallying out here to say BOO to that! They're ready to strike if necessary!
