[Alaska Senate Majority @alaska_senate]

Yesterday, the #akleg Senate passed a new defined benefit system for public employees and teachers, Senate Bill 88. Watch Senator Cathy Giessel talk about why this is vital to recruiting and retaining a strong Alaska workforce: https://t.co/Tx2VIGLD5J

#Raisetheakbsa rally tonight at 6PM at the Capitol! Join us for pizza and a state of the state watch party after at the NEA Alaska Office!

[APEA/AFT Political Action @EPICAlaska]

SB 88 is on the path to passing the Senate! SB 88 would restore a defined benefit pension for public employees! This would be a generational change for public service in Alaska. #akleg #pensionsforpublicservice

"Staffing shortages are affecting state offices and departments across the board, but the solutions so far have been piecemeal...with limited impacts. But a broader solution could be on the table in the coming months." #pensionsforpublicservice #akleg @AlaskaPensions

[Gavel Alaska @GavelAlaska]

Excellent LTE in @adndotcom from economist Gunnar Knapp about the dangers of censoring data from the public. #akleg

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history. More @ https://t.co/v6x2WrWBkN

🙌Thank you @rweingarten for championing retirement security! #akleg

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Social Security and pensions are the promise we’ve made to working families. They are deferred earnings from a lifetime of work, so they can retire with security and dignity. We must protect those earnings. @ActiveRetirees https://t.co/voXZwpCFVV

[National Institute on Retirement Security @NIRSonline]

Are you planning on seeing the new Taylor Swift movie this weekend? Even if you're not a Swiftie, there's no denying she's an economic powerhouse....and so are pensions. #TheErasTour #TaylorSwift #Swifties #Retirement #Economy https://t.co/gxGB4VQA0e

[APEA/AFT Political Action @EPICAlaska]

@AARPAlaska gets it!🎯!

"AK's inability to offer retirement security to our public employees through a defined-benefit plan has put us at a significant disadvantage as compared to other states in recruiting and retaining a qualified workforce." #akleg

[AARP Alaska @AARPAlaska]

We need to ensure that Alaska has the public programs and services in place for people to continue living in the Last Frontier, and that takes public employees. Pensions for public service are key to rebuilding our public service workforce. https://t.co/gCHw4kuROU

[APEA/AFT Political Action @EPICAlaska]

Excellent op-ed out of Kenai. #akleg

[Heidi Drygas @HeidiDrygas]

If you want to understand the public employee staffing crisis in a nutshell, this is worth the read. 👀

We stand with auto workers. They are simply asking for their pathway to the middle class. It was an honor to talk to and walk with the strikers. We stand with @UAW #StandUpUAW

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

It’s official: The contracts for @UAW workers at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis have expired. The Stand Up strike has begun.

The 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO stand in proud solidarity with UAW! #StandUpUAW

[APEA/AFT Political Action @EPICAlaska]

Sign up for updates on the @UAW Standup Strike! They are fighting for all of us. https://t.co/frozrZC69w #akleg

[Alaska AFL-CIO @AKAFLCIO]

Alaska is ready to stand with the @UAW as they take on the big three with their innovative #StandUpUAW movement! #1u #UnionStrong

[Sherrod Brown @SherrodBrown]

A union card = higher wages and better benefits.

I’m fighting to make it easier for workers to advocate for themselves in the workplace through the PRO Act.
