Pima Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO

We’re a local labor federation of the AFL-CIO, at the heart of the labor movement in Southern Arizona.

🚨 BREAKING: The Teamsters Union has launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. 🚨

Amazon has forced this strike by refusing to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.

Now, Amazon Teamsters at facilities across the country will be striking, including primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Starbucks Workers United has authorized a strike.

The corporate giant hasn't moved on economic issues in negotiations, and now 98% of @SBWorkersUnited has voted to call a work stoppage “if necessary.”

The union has 10,000 workers at 500 stores.

Yep, it’s true. Nothing fair or equitable about it.

[Texas AFL-CIO @TexasAFLCIO]

SHOCKER: In Arizona, wealthier zip codes use school vouchers significantly more than low-income ones.

This is what Gov. Abbott wants: to gut public education and subsidize wealthy families already sending their kids to private school.

We won't let him get away with it.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

Congratulations to the 4,300 Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga who bravely decided that enough was enough, and voted overwhelmingly to join the great @UAW

Your vote to unite with the UAW will inspire workers throughout the South and across America.

Throughout her tenure in the Arizona House, Ms. Powers was a fierce advocate for families in Southern Arizona and fought for the well-being of working people.

[Pima Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO @PALF_AFLCIO]

Her legislative district overlapped much of Ward 6 where she has had the overwhelming support of the electorate, and we believe the people's voice has an absolute place in this appointment.

[Pima Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO @PALF_AFLCIO]

Ms. Powers' legislative experience, knowledge, strong community support, and her responsiveness to constituents make her an outstanding candidate for this position.

[Pima Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO @PALF_AFLCIO]

The affiliated unions of the Pima Area Labor Federation proudly and unanimously endorse Pamela Powers for the appointment to the Ward 6 Tucson City Council seat recently vacated by Councilman Steve Kozachik.

Georgia has passed a law forbidding bail funds from contributing to people's bonds.

It is worth noting that when MLK was bailed out of Birminghan jail, he didn't fund his own bond. The United Auto Workers, and others, pooled tens of thousands of dollars to liberate him.

Weeks ago, the Daily Wildcat eliminated its Opinions Desk and fired its two Opinions Editors. These two editors wrote a Daily Star op ed about their firing. (1/4)

When 2 sanitation workers were killed by a malfunctioning garbage truck in Memphis , the workers went on strike on Feb 12, 1968. The strike's slogan — "I Am a Man"—was small enough to fit on a placard but powerful enough to unite the city. #BlackHistoryMonth

Inside Scoop: UA has permanently eliminated $27 million in jobs in academic units but continues to hire for exec. positions. This has a real impact on our educational mission. Instructors across campus have been asked to take on overload courses due to faculty shortages. (1/3)
