In the 20s, breaking into the electrical industry wasn’t easier for Black Americans. But Sam Taylor did it
In 1922, he founded Taylor Electric—the first Black-owned construction company in Chicago and now one of the oldest IBEW signatory contractors nationwide.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.

This was a comment I saw under my content. I must say… Perfectly articulated.

The GOP's tax bill will kill #IBEW jobs and raise energy prices. Tell your representative to vote no. https://t.co/4doJ5VxAEm

87 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act into law, establishing the 40-hour workweek, child labor protections, overtime pay, minimum wage and more.

These protections were won because workers stood up, organized and demanded better.

Good pay and benefits, rewarding work, and zero-debt. No wonder young people are turning to the trades. https://t.co/EvA6uos1v5

This brilliant cartoon clearly explains Trump's position on Ukraine. It is in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Share it with anyone who keeps repeating russian propaganda.

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

One of the arguments for legislation to exempt the Legislature from FOIA is that legislative staff are overworked responding to FOIA requests.
So far this year, the Senate has received two FOIA requests, the House has received none (HB 3412).

Yesterday, the NLRBU learned that DOGE has unilaterally cancelled the Milwaukee office’s lease a year early, without notice. The lease will now expire in August 2025.

DOGE has not provided the NLRB with any alternative for Milwaukee agents to perform their work.
