America’s unions fight for every worker — from the major league star to the construction worker building the stadium to the service workers in concessions.

Our AFL-CIO Sports Council is growing solidarity and building worker power on and off the field!

BREAKING NEWS: @LizShuler and @STRedmond have been re-elected as President and Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

We’re gathering for the 30th AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis.

The Twin Cities have proven, especially this year: they know the meaning of solidarity. We’ll carry the strength and example they've set across the country as we continue to fight for working people.

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

AFL-CIO President @LizShuler, on the fight for a more equitable economy:

“A rising tide doesn’t do any good if it’s only lifting up the yachts.”

[Dan Osborn @osbornforne]

I take NO money from Big Pharma and Defense Contractors.

Pete Ricketts takes money from both.

Happy Pride from Nebraska State AFL-CIO’s unions! We’re wishing the LGBTQIA+ community a joyful and safe Pride Month. Unions are for everyone, and the labor movement will keep fighting to make sure everyone can be their true selves, on and off the job.

[Chris Backemeyer for Congress @chrisbackemeyer]

Honored to have the support of @NEAFLCIO, whose members help build Nebraska from the ground up.

In Congress, I'll fight to protect workers' right to organize, create more good-paying union jobs right here in #NE01, and bring down costs for hardworking families. #UnionStrong

[The Building Trades @NABTU]

“Across North America, the Building Trades are rising to meet this moment.

➡️Membership is growing.
➡️Apprenticeship numbers are surging.
➡️Union training capacity has never been stronger.
➡️And our reputation for safety, productivity, and quality is unmatched.

This is not a coincidence, it’s a continental trend.”

- Brandon Bishop at @CDNTrades' Annual Conference

5,070 workers were killed on the job in 2024. That’s completely unacceptable.

On Workers’ Memorial Day and every day, the labor movement is committed to the fight to make sure every worker stays safe and healthy on the job. https://t.co/wcHAtuyq28

AFL-CIO President @LizShuler:

“Does anyone want to continue on this race-to-the-bottom… where this handful of billionaires, one soon to be a trillionaire, get to play God with our economy and our lives? Hell no! We know we can do better.”

In the streets and on the shop floor, in union halls and at the ballot box, working people are rising up.

Join America’s unions and allies across the country next week at a #NoKings event near you as we fight to take back our power ✊ https://t.co/gN6DkXNR04

The Trump admin hit workers with a health care double-whammy—his big, ugly bill ripped health care away from millions, and he let ACA tax credits expire, making health care costs more than double for millions of families.

Now, we’re all paying the price. https://t.co/XNRLtFEa4B

Anyone who earns $1 million a year stops paying into Social Security today. It’s not right—the rich should pay into Social Security all year long on all of their income like the rest of us do.

It’s time to scrap the cap so we can protect retirement security for working people.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

On #InternationalWomensDay, America’s unions celebrate the women leading our labor movement, organizing unions and fighting for fair pay, safety, dignity and respect on the job.

Their fight is all of our fight, and we’re proud to celebrate and stand with them every single day.
