Workers in states with laws that are hostile to unions earn on average $4,000 less per year than those living in states more favorable to collective bargaining, a new report shows. https://t.co/pWnLbdpCTl

Caring for people with disabilities isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Direct support professionals (DSPs) answer that call with love, care and compassion. But chronically low wages mean they struggle to provide for their families.

Lot of talk in the Catholicsphere about universities living out Catholic values, this should be added to the convo: DePaul & Loyola named in a nat’l report highlighting schools that push lower-income fams to take out loans they can’t afford, favor wealthy. https://t.co/fabdiha6Og

If Chicago doesn’t pass a budget before the end of the year, city services could come to a screeching halt. Mental health services, snow removal, emergency response services—they’re all at risk.

The City Council must pass a budget that protects city services and city workers.

Anti-union extremists would rather give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax breaks instead of funding public services.

Meanwhile, Musk is on track to make $83 *billion* more than every child care worker in America, combined.

The proposed city of Chicago budget would mean fewer staff, fewer books and fewer resources in our libraries.

We can’t accept cuts to the programs and services Chicagoans rely on. City Council members must vote for the revenue needed to balance the budget without harmful cuts.

BREAKING: A federal judge just sided with AFGE and @AFSCME by ordering the Trump administration to stop the illegal mass firings of federal employees during the shutdown.

20 employees of the Franklin Park Library recently announced they’re forming a union with AFSCME Council 31! FPL employees, like library workers across Illinois, know the best way to win fair treatment and a voice on the job is through a union.

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

Video of ICE cuffing Ald. Fuentes, who was asking for warrant in a medical setting: https://t.co/qtm2HoHtxM Things continue to get worse. More militarized: https://t.co/hkMFhcMTIw Neighborhoods are organizing more rapid response around schools. And I just feel so much less safe.

Trump II: The Ultimate “Who Gon Check Me, Boo?” Administration. Not only do they kill 11 folks on a boat without presenting evidence or legal justification, they’re absolutely clear they could have opted for not using lethal force & chose death. https://t.co/FMgv3toKx4

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

AFSCME Cultural Workers United hit a BIG milestone this year: 50,000 workers at museums, libraries, zoos and other cultural institutions across the nation have won a voice on the job by forming a union with AFSCME — more than any other union.

Council 31’s Anders Lindall joined the America’s Work Force Union podcast to talk about our union’s big wins in organizing cultural workers—and the improvements in wages, benefits and working conditions that they’re winning in their first contracts.

NEWS: College of DuPage employees took the next step to claim their seat at the table: Today, some 600 employees of the college officially filed to form their union with AFSCME Council 31!

The day after Chicago History Museum employees voted to form their union with AFSCME Council 31, management began retaliating against workers. They fired four and threatened the jobs of six more. That’s not just wrong—it's illegal.
