Today’s @NLRB decision is a huge win for workers. Captive audience meetings have no place in a fair workplace.

This ruling restores the freedom workers deserve to make their own choices about union representation without fear or intimidation.

On this Veteran’s Day, we remember those who have served our nation in uniform, and their unwavering commitment to our freedoms.

“They’re not going to stop” just because voters said to do so.

I talked to @propublica —which as usual gets the stakes—about the voucher lobby’s loss in all 3 states where vouchers were on the direct ballot👇

Pennsylvnia peeps who voted by mail: Have you checked the status of your ballot? Bob Casey is within .5% - 25,000 Votes. But many PA ballots need curing. You can check on your mail ballot here: https://t.co/0nrofdDNDR

Congratulations, @Joanna4PA, on your re-election and keeping the gavel! We know that under Speaker McClinton’s continued leadership, labor and working families will have a strong champion leading a pro-union, pro-worker majority in the house!

[AFT Pennsylvania @AFTPA]

Turns out running on fully and fairly funding public schools and keeping public money from being siphoned into the pockets of wealthy families is a winning issue, no matter the district. Congratulations, @RepFrankBurns!

Democrats keep the Pa House because of an incumbent holding onto a seat in a Trump +40 district

Congratulations @Joanna4PA on keeping the gavel and a pro-public education, pro-labor majority in the PA House! One bright spot in a tough week. @AFTPA @PFTLocal3

Looks like @APNews may have jumped the gun on their call in the @Bob_Casey race. At least 100k votes still to be counted. Two years ago, provisional ballots broke by 76% for Sen Fetterman. This ain't over. #CountEveryVote

[PA Department of State @PAStateDept]

A statement from Secretary Al Schmidt:

Throughout the day, the Department has communicated with counties who continue to conduct a secure election where every eligible vote is counted.

We estimate there are at least 100,000 ballots remaining to be adjudicated, including provisional, military, overseas, and Election Day votes. We urge patience as election workers continue to do this important work, especially in contests where the margins are very close.

There is no fight more righteous than the one for a better present & future for people we don't know & will never meet. While we wait for election results, I want to thank @PFTLocal3 @AFTPA members for making sure labor makes the difference for @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz in PA.

Lexi voted. Have you?

[PA Department of State @PAStateDept]

A court order has extended polling place hours in Laflin Borough (Luzerne County) until 9:30 p.m. tonight. Voters in line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote on the county’s regular voting system. Voters who get in line after 8 p.m. will vote by provisional ballot.

Polls in all other precincts in the county will still close at 8 p.m., and those precincts may begin reporting their unofficial results at that time.

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Our vote is our voice. Never let them silence you.

[Arthur Steinberg (artsteinberg-pft.bsky social) @art_steinberg]

Seeing great enthusiasm among Harris voters in South Philly but also a few tough conversations with fellow union members who believe what Fox News broadcasts and are dug in for Trump. Need to keep knocking & talking to get everyone to the polls #GOTV #AFTvotes

[AFT @AFTunion]

The future of education is on the ballot.

Vote like your paid leave depends on it.
Vote like your workplace rights depend on it.
Vote like your overtime pay depends on it.
Vote like your union depends on it.

Because they do.
