The new law will impact a broad range of unions representing workers on the frontlines of local communities, from bus drivers to sanitation workers, public healthcare workers, librarians, emergency dispatchers and more.

We must remember our history! Check out this crucial @AFSCME podcast: I AM Story.

The @guardian's "Best Podcast of the Week" I AM Story brings the history of the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers’ strike to life. Check out the link below to this crucial piece of American history & the modern labor & civil rights movements.

The freedom to read has come under particularly ferocious assault in FL under Gov. DeSantis, where images of school libraries show books removed & classroom bookshelves covered by tarps & signs warning, “Books are NOT for student use!!” More: https://t.co/cCZey7IeKR… @AFTunion

“This is a move toward totalitarianism,” said AAUP president @imulvey.

“The fact that the Florida college presidents have, seemingly unprompted, gone along with this kind of move toward authoritarianism has raised the alarm bell to a five-alarm fire.”

If Florida Democrats get cannabis legalization, abortion rights and paid family leave on the 2024 ballot, watch how quickly this state turns around.

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

Rick Scott voted against funding for Florida to rebuild and recover after Hurricane Ian. Marco Rubio didn’t even bother to show up for the vote. Every Republican member of the House of Representatives from Florida also voted against it. Unbelievable.

😮

The @UNC_System president is getting an extra $450K on top of his $400K salary...

“Clearly excessive and unwarranted. Particularly at a time when faculty & staff morale is so low & faculty salaries not keeping up w/ national standards.”

Full-time faculty pay is dipping more than it ever has & inequities continue to plague the profession. Meanwhile, more than half of the faculty in the US are working on a contingent basis. Average pay for adjuncts is as low as $2,979 per course https://t.co/0BU3qCfFFs

Had such an awesome time at the #SummerPicnic, we decided to make it an annual Local 199 tradition! Much love, solidarity, and fun with our Union brothers & sisters of @MiamiDadeCounty! @AFSCME @AFSCMEFL

Meanwhile, the average president’s salary at a doctoral university is $602,854…

NEW: Amazon hired a top Democratic firm, Global Strategy Group, to help bust the union drive by @AmazonLabor. They failed.

Today, GSG disavowed their work for Amazon: "We deeply regret being involved in any way"

@GSG desperately wants this scandal to go away. But it's not. 🧵

🚨 BREAKING: Tax on billionaire wealth gains included in @POTUS' budget! The plan makes billionaires pay a minimum 20% tax rate on their income—including income from wealth like stocks & other assets.

RT if you agree that it's time for a #BillionairesTax!

On the bench, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has applied some of our nation’s most important laws to protect everyday workers and safeguard union rights. Tell your Senator to #ConfirmJackson: https://t.co/KJBvNsx7VK

"Your family and you speak to service, service, service. And I'm telling you right now, I'm not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy" about your nomination, @SenBooker tells Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
