Today in Baltimore, we commemorated Workers Memorial Day by honoring the six Key Bridge workers who went out to a shift and never came home. On this solemn day, we want everyone to know: no matter who you are or where you're from, the labor movement will fight for you.

PEF offers lawmakers solutions to the statewide staffing shortage: Increase salary grades, improve Tier 6, and clean up the work culture! https://t.co/xhXhYEZLwU

The union presence at @CES is proof that in order to build the brighter new world we all dream of, workers MUST have a seat at the table.

Working people have shaped this country through every technological revolution over the last 247 years, and will be there to build the next.

[UNITE HERE @unitehere]

"With corporations clamoring to use AI and other technology to either automate away jobs or shift the work onto consumers, it’s up to the labor movement to ensure workers have a seat at the table so that technology improves lives for workers and the public."

— D. Taylor

Across the United States, state legislators and corporations are doing all they can to halt union progress. But unions are not giving up without a fight. Including PEF. Read more about how Unions, and PEF, are fighting for you here: https://t.co/G5TgNfRGcm

Social workers and counselors perform important work in our schools and communities, giving kids and families the tools they need to thrive. This March, in honor of #SocialWorkMonth, we thank them for their vital work. #SocialWorkBreaksBarriers. @AFT_PE

[Tracey Lewis @LewisFinReg22]

@MorePerfectUS Looking forward to child workhouses that will naturally accompany this move bc children will no longer have access to public education either— the dystopian Koch / John Birch Society vision is coming to fruition

[AFT Public Employees @AFT_PE]

At their very core, UNIONS EXIST TO PREVENT CHILD LABOR AND DEATH. #1u #UnionStrong #UnionProud #UnionYes 🇺🇸

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
