Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

America’s unions are proud to celebrate and honor the history, culture and incredible contributions Hispanic and Latino communities and working people have made in our lives, our workplaces and our labor movement.

Weekends.
Workplace safety protections.
Child labor laws.
Retirement security.
Paid time off.

These are things we enjoy today because workers fought for them and won. This Labor Day, let's get inspired and keep fighting for better for working people ✊

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Workers aren’t asking for luxury. We want breathing room to spend time with our families, go out to dinner or take a vacation. It shouldn’t be this hard to make ends meet.

Working people deserve better.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem, a lifelong advocate for working women who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s equality, equal pay and respect on the job. We’re grateful for her lifetime of courage, leadership and commitment to making the world better for women everywhere.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration.

Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

Not a single @CaliforniaLabor union is backing #Prop45.
Because it's anti-worker, anti-community & anti-job.

All the corporate money & @CalChamber propaganda in the world won't change those facts. 

👀 those lies & asking “who paid for that?” Don’t worry, we’ll keep track.

The tail wagging the dog.

Why are we allowing any companies to deploy AI in a way that’s inconsistent and incompatible with our communities & public safety?

Who controls government?

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

We are thrilled to welcome the staff of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to the @CaliforniaLabor family where they will be represented by @AFSCME829! This victory was hard fought, congrats to these union members on this huge win! ✊ #UnionizeCalifornia

NO candidate for Governor told @CaliforniaLabor they opposed prevailing wages. Not a single one.

Along with the 8 hour day, and the right to organize & collectively bargain, it’s a basic tenant of trade unionism.

Earlier this year, @seiucalifornia & @seiuusww Pres. David Huerta was arrested while peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights at an ICE raid in LA when he was tackled and detained. We stand with David and will fight until every family is safe from fear. #JusticeForDavid
