The local AFL-CIO and voice for current and future union members in Centre, Mifflin, Huntingdon, and Juniata counties. Chapter of Central PA ALF. 🌄⛰️ #1u
Our statement on the election results.
Billionaires may have seized new heights of power, but the fight remains the same. The moment demands that we engage with @UAW's call to prepare for mass strike action on May 1, 2028.
The Kamala Harris campaign will be airing this ad tomorrow during the Steelers game, highlighting this maintenance worker with a thick yinzer accent, saying that Trump doesn’t understand working-class values and Harris will lower costs for groceries and healthcare.
Since Labor Day, we've called and knocked 3,578 union households in Centre County.
We're part of an unprecedented field operation with @PaAFL_CIO to turn out union voters in support of pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot. ✊✊
The news that Trump is going virtually station JD Vance in Pennsylvania for the rest of the campaign shows that his path to the presidency is becoming PA or nothing.

According to @EconomicPolicy, Pennsylvania saw a 276% increase in child labor law violation investigations between 2022 and 2023.
Now, Donald Trump and Project 2025 want to do away with child labor laws altogether.

We echo the @PaAFL_CIO statement in the strongest possible terms.
We choose how we move forward from this act of violence, and we must choose unity over division.

TEAMSTERS AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY VOTE TO AUTHORIZE STRIKE
#Teamsters at Penn State University have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a #strike. The resounding vote allows the negotiating committee to call a strike if Penn State refuses to offer workers a strong contract.
“It’s long past due for Penn State to get serious about offering the essential Teamsters a contract that includes fair compensation and working conditions,” said Jonathan Light, President of Teamsters Local 8. “We do not want to go on strike, but it seems as though the university does not think we are serious about our demands. This overwhelming strike vote should send a clear message that WE ARE ready to strike for what we deserve.”

Penn State @Teamsters have spoken: they’re all in to win a fair contract.
We’re all in with them.
Clock’s ticking, @penn_state. https://t.co/MIAwZ6ierr
Our Labor Council is proud to be part of the effort to answer the call from @UAW to make our movement strike-ready for May 1, 2028.
UAW workers stood up. Now it’s time for the movement to join them. https://t.co/6J02EO892K
If you’re inspired by what happened in Tennessee tonight, you need to tell everyone you know to tell everyone they know to tell every autoworker they know to go sign their union card. Right now.

Our Labor Council was proud to pass a resolution calling for affiliates to answer @UAW’s bold call to strike together May 1, 2028.

In our chapter, we fight each other’s corners as if they’re our own. We believe that we rise or fall as a united working class.
Anyone that feels the same is welcome at our table. Anyone that doesn’t, isn’t.
Make no mistake — this remains an active strike against the Post Gazette. Our brothers and sisters from @CWAUnion and the @PGHGuild are still on the picket line fighting for what they deserve, and the Post Gazette is still refusing to do the right thing.
The strike goes on.
Today, I am officially kicking off my 2024 re-election campaign for the PA House of Reps! We're preparing to repeat our hard-won success in 2022 and continue to reap the benefits of a Democratic majority in the PA House.
