Maryland State and DC AFL-CIO

Official Account of the Maryland State and DC AFL-CIO. We work for workers. #1u #solidarity

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

There's no limit to what women can accomplish in the IUPAT.

Our skilled trades provide women with generational wealth, transformational benefits, the skills to thrive, a community that will always have their back, and so much more.

"The doctors at UMMC became the first group of residents and fellows in Maryland to seek union representation when they petitioned for recognition in April. The UMRFA organized with the [AFT]-Maryland, which already has other medical unions in the state."

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

From New Flyer workers organizing with @CWAUnion, Blue Bird workers organizing with @steelworkers, and Volkswagen and soon-to-be Mercedes workers organizing with @UAW, working people are claiming their power in the South.

We love to see it. #OrganizeTheSouth

[Wydown Workers United @WydownUnited]

More to come.

[Unite Here Local 7 @UHLocal7]

Congratulations, Local 7 members @CamdenYards who ratified a historic new contract yesterday making them the first shop in Local 7 where all non-tipped workers will be paid $20 or more! Also won overtime after 8 hours in a day, year round health insurance for more members & more!

[UAW @UAW]

Volkswagen workers just moved a mountain.

Mercedes workers got next.

[Washington City Paper @wcp]

Employees at The Wydown coffee shops are forming a union after their concerns about mismanagement and mistreatment went unaddressed. Read the full story here: https://t.co/P9B0K1Tr66

[UAW @UAW]

Is Mercedes really "neutral" in this union vote?

Depends who they're talking to.

On the public-facing side of the fence: VOTE!

On the worker-facing side of the fence: VOTE NO!

Don't get fooled. Mercedes workers are voting UAW YES, May 13-17.

[UFCW Local 400 @UFCW400]

Kroger and Albertsons announced plans to sell off hundreds more stores in an effort to get their disastrous mega-merger passed by regulators. This plan only makes a bad idea worse. Read the latest update from our #StopTheMerger🚫 coalition:

“I make no apologies for my Administration protecting the right to organize and bargain collectively.”

Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with workers and vetoing this House scheme to weaken workers' collective bargaining rights.

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

Good News for Union Members—Union members saw record raises over the past year, but pay for nonunion workers barely beat inflation

Wages of private-sector union members rose 6.3% over past year, the biggest jump since 2001—Nonunion workers saw a 4.1% bump

This is huge: two strong education unions in Northern VA representing 26,000 (!!!) Fairfax County Public Schools employees are banding together for union elections.
