Solidarity with @USLPlayers on Spokane Zephyr FC fighting for accountability after the club shut down.

Players gave everything to the club — and they lost their jobs, their contracts and their paychecks.

“Thank you” doesn’t pay the bills — players need fairness and support!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

With the power of their solidarity, our @TheWNBPA union sisters achieved a transformational CBA! ✊

My union story is like so many others, growing up in a working-class family that scraped to get by from paycheck to paycheck until our lives were changed by an @IBEW apprenticeship. Our family lived the union difference. #AFLCIO26

BREAKING: The WNBA and WNBPA have reached a tentative verbal agreement for a new CBA, sources tell me. Term sheet will now go to the players and WNBA Board of Governors for a vote to ratify the new agreement.

Savy King returns to the pitch in LA 10 months after collapsing on the field due to a heart condition that was later discovered. King gets a thunderous applause in a big opener for Angel City, and she puts in a perfect recovery slide tackle soon after.

Happy new NWSL season to every player taking the field today. Wishing @nwsl_players members a healthy, safe, and successful year on and off the pitch.

EXACTLY 7 years ago we couldn’t have even imagined this. We risked it all to fight for what’s right, for change, for respect. Today, we covered the USWNT v COL with an incredible feeling of impact, pride, and love not only for our country, but for those who inspired us. ⚽️🫡❤️

[Welcome to the Party Show @WTTPartyPodcast]

Why did the NWSL approve Sophia Smith’s record-setting deal and reject Trinity Rodman’s? This remains a key question for the @nwsl_players and many others...

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

The Protect America’s Workforce Act passed the House of Representatives! This is a huge victory for workers.

As the bill heads to the Senate with bipartisan support, we call on lawmakers to vote yes and reverse the largest act of union-busting in history. https://t.co/UZrqUWZpYg

Good luck to our @NWSL_players union members on the pitch during their championship game!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Working people have fought for and died for the workplace rights we enjoy today. How will you be honoring them on Workers’ Labor Day?

Nia has had an incredible, life-changing journey becoming an electrician through her @IBEW apprenticeship.

She’s right: unions not only protect workers, they prepare workers for the jobs of right now and the future. #BetterInAUnion
