Working people are forced to cut back on the essentials like groceries and gas, while billionaire CEOs and giant corporations get even richer. Enough is enough. A union contract is how workers, who actually create the profit, take back their power and get their fair share.

Our hearts are with our AWPPW family in Longview impacted by this tragedy, and our firefighter, EMS, and healthcare siblings who are actively responding to this unfolding situation.

Workers are being surveilled, fired and hurt in workplaces that recklessly use AI without guardrails and worker input.

America’s unions applaud Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, which calls for continued action from unions to protect working people from AI.

On Memorial Day, we reflect on the dedication of our armed forces and military families and remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We salute their service, honor their sacrifice, and cherish their memory.

[USLPA @USLPlayers]

The meeting lasted three minutes. The disrespect will last much longer.

Players deserve so much more from ownership.

.@SPEEA -represented Boeing engineers & tech workers are sharing contact priorities as they gear up for negotiations for a contract covering 16k workers. They’re prioritizing fair pay, stronger benefits, & better work-life balance in the new CBA.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman joined ready-mix drivers represented by Teamsters Local 313 on the picket line today at Glacier Northwest, a CalPortland company, in Washington State. Teamsters at Glacier Northwest in Dupont began their unfair labor practice (ULP) strike against the company on April 1 after negotiations over a fair contract stalled. The drivers are fighting to address significant wage and benefit disparities with other CalPortland ready-mix drivers in neighboring King County.

Glacier Northwest Teamsters will remain on the picket line until management returns to good-faith bargaining and offers proposals that accurately reflect the importance and reliability of their work.

“If Glacier Northwest thinks it can disrespect our members, they’re sorely mistaken,” O’Brien said. “This company is learning the hard way that when you pick a fight with one Teamster, you answer to all of us.”

WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

[The STAND @TheStandWA]

Our new polling shows more than 90% of working people want job and privacy protection from AI, and overwhelmingly trust unions, not Big Tech or either political party, to deliver those protections for them.
