This Democratic National Convention couldn’t have happened without the men + women of organized labor.

Thanks to all who ensured a successful #DNC2024, including the men I met this morning at the United Center from Riggers, Machinery Movers & Machinery Erectors—Local Union 136!

Dedicated Council staffers organized our union from the ground-up and won our historic first contract. Are you interested in getting more involved with ALE? Come to our leadership retreat to reflect, strategize, and start thinking about our Executive Board elections in the fall.

ROLL CALL TIME! 📣

Did you know: 20% of delegates are in a union! #BetterInAUnion

Senate President Don Harmon tells reporters that Speaker Welch’s legislative staff union bill, which has been stalled in the Senate for nearly a year, is “a nonstarter.” He said he hopes “that House leadership and staff will get together and work out their own problems.” #twill

The cherry on top of this piece:

“…for every legislator, there are staff who do the behind-the-scenes work for which their boss is publicly credited. State House staff need living wages that reflect both our hard work and expertise.”

As we head into the end of session, big shout out to the staff who are going to be clocking a ton of additional, unacknowledged hours to make sure the work gets done! Once we make it through the month we're that much closer to a #CALeg union 🙌

It was unions that made manufacturing jobs good jobs, not the factories https://t.co/YIATQxzwQI

As we enter an overnight session, this tweet is a reminder that legislative staff earn no overtime pay, get no comp time, and often work through the night.

@SpeakerWelchIL it's time to come to the table and bargain with your staff! You can't just talk the talk. It's time to walk the walk.

[Learning & Labor @Learning_Labor]

IL Speaker Welch is trying to dismiss a lawsuit filed by @ILSA217 following his failure to work in good faith with their unionization effort. In Welch's motion to dismiss, he uses an argument "analogous to Trump vs United States defense", citing his immunity as a legislator.

[California Legislative Union @CAUnionRights]

Long days at the Capitol this week for our dedicated staff working for the people of CA.  It's a marathon, not a sprint, but we're already dreaming of a union. One week to recess, two years to representation…💪  #UnionStrong #CALeg

[Labor Notes @labornotes]

"The buttons had a dual purpose: showing support for the union, and allowing members to express themselves genuinely at work." Read the piece by Sam Hughes, a former member and staffer of UFCW Local 555, on how members adopted union pride pronoun buttons: https://t.co/0sjeN6bJVd

what if we told you that today is one of the biggest election days in our union's history... 👀

It’s official: the @amazonlabor is now the ALU-International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1, after 98.3% of its members voted to affiliate with the @Teamsters. The move is a warning shot to Amazon, union members & experts say. More here: https://t.co/kutGXHpkPF

“With its sectoral density now reestablished, the union is aiming to deploy a sectoral bargaining strategy to unite and capitalize on that power ahead of city elections in 2025 and state elections in 2026.”

If you have a boss, you need a union. We love the precedent the Biden campaign is setting!
