In addition to "On the Line," we recommend Expectations! Narrated by John Lithgow, it's a one-hour documentary about the loss of industrial jobs, told through the stories of steelworkers and their families in East LA. It aired on public tv in 1986. https://t.co/MDEr5SK4bh

On this week's Labor Heritage Power Hour, we talk about the 1955 film "For Fair Play," produced by the PA State Commission on Industrial Race Relations. The film explores the positive impact of integration. @LaborHeritage1 @laborradionet https://t.co/Zylm9YAqRH

“Right to work” has been defeated in New Hampshire.

Today, @NHAFLCIO working families won. ✊ #NHPolitics

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Tomorrow Michigan will officially no longer be a union-busting "right to work" state. Collective bargaining rights will be restored for public school employees and so much more.

This change happens when we mobilize & elect lawmakers who fight for us up and down the ballot.

These were the prices at last night’s Super Bowl. The beer that @AllegiantStadm workers served cost more than their hourly wage—$13/hour. Ushers, security, concessions workers & more struggle to support their families & many don’t have health care. These workers need a union now.

Happy #NationalPizzaDay!

Eat the bosses’ pizza and unionize anyway.

Malcolm X and Rosa Parks were two of the civil rights leaders assembled by A. Philip Randolph for a 1962 rally supporting poorly paid hospital workers in their bid for union recognition as part of Local 1199. This was the only time Malcolm X identified himself with a labor union.

Walked by this painting in the AV stacks of the @ReutherLibrary thousands of times, but I did not know its origins until today! That's the kismet of archival research.

Tune in at 1p today to hear the return of Cool Things in the Meany Archives and “JFK's Last Words to Labor” on the Labor Heritage Power Hour! @wpfwdc @aflcio #1u #unions #laborradiopod

BREAKING: Visual Effects (VFX) crews at Marvel Studios have filed for a unionization election with the National Labor Relations Board.

This signals a major shift in the VFX industry, which has been largely non-union since the 70s.

VFX WORKERS ASSEMBLE!! https://t.co/PIEtqtZPfO

The Valley Labor Report is Alabama's only union talk show. For years, they've been doing on-the-ground labor reporting often overlooked by mainstream outlets.

Great to see @LaborReporters getting the recognition it deserves! https://t.co/eBkMDIWdNY

🦬🌲Workers at Yellowstone National Park are the FIRST to organize a union with the @NatlParkService!

Workers have elected the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), an affiliate of @MachinistsUnion, to represent them. 💪https://t.co/2VMWevifAm

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

It's been six days since @GrindrUnited came out of the closet to announce their union drive, yet management has refused to recognize them.

Join us & send a letter to Grinder CEO George Arison telling him to respect his workers' right to organize! https://t.co/MyVpWlepob

This contract creates new jobs, secures essential protections, & raises wages for ALL workers, including part-time. 

 @Teamsters secured this TA through relentless organizing and a credible strike threat that woke @UPS UP!

When we fight together, we make history together!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

The people united will never be defeated.

Workers are here on the Capitol steps to standing strong with @RepCasar as he begins his water strike.

It’s time an @OSHA_DOL heat illness prevention standard and mandated water breaks for workers.
