More than 90% of working people favor AI guardrails to protect their jobs and privacy rights.

The decisions that politicians make on AI right now are going to shape the next decades for working people. AI should work for us!

“Patient care is our top concern and is at the forefront of our fight... We are striking because terminating experienced nurses has left the hospital short staffed. Nurses need a seat at the table to advocate for our patients."

Working people are forced to cut back on the essentials like groceries and gas, while billionaire CEOs and giant corporations get even richer. Enough is enough. A union contract is how workers, who actually create the profit, take back their power and get their fair share.

[National Nurses United @NationalNurses]

Chicago nurses at Saint Mary of Nazareth are rallying today.

@_PrimeHealth: We won’t be intimidated by your anti-union crackdowns. We’re demanding you reinstate the nurses you illegally fired. We won’t stop fighting to improve working conditions and patient care! ✊

"This opinion reaffirms that the freedom to withhold one’s labor is not a privilege granted by the powerful, but a fundamental human right grounded in international law,” @AFLCIO President Liz Shuler.
