Building worker power in partnership!

Today marks an important moment for the labour movement as @LIUNA and @GoIUPAT announce a historic agreement to strengthen organizing, coordinate strategy and grow worker power together.

Alone we may be strong but together, we are unstoppable!

Happy Canada Day to our Canadian brothers and sisters!

We couldn’t do what we do or be who we are without your membership, commitment, loyalty, and solidarity.

Not only are UPS trucks driven by union members, they’re painted by them, too!

District Council 36, Local 1991 automotive painters Jorge, Joel, Mike, and Francisco are taking pride in every coat and every detail. When you see a UPS truck rolling by, know it’s painted by our members!

To know where we want to go, we have to know where we come from!

For centuries, workers have led the fight for better rights, fair pay, and safer conditions. Everything we have today was won by organizing and collective action. This series looks at how the working class has shaped history in the US and how we continue pushing forward.
