Trump’s executive order gutting collective bargaining rights for federal workers is about billionaires attacking what the labor movement has fought for generations to build.

"Allowing taxpayer dollars to fund religious charter schools would put both public education and religious freedom at risk," warned one teachers union leader as the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in the Oklahoma case. https://t.co/FxqJ6gsXvN

"While AI can be a helpful and important tool... we've instead seen systems that produce disinformation, impinge on privacy, and tell inaccurate accounts of history," - @rweingarten says. #RealSolutions are needed. @AFTunion @AFTteach

Today on May Day, labor leaders demanded action from the Salvadoran government to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He built a life and a @smartunionworks career here. His deportation was illegal. His imprisonment is indefensible.

On #MayDay, workers around the globe are standing up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms.

We’ll fight to protect all workers from the Trump admin’s illegal attacks on our jobs, our unions, our contracts and our freedoms. https://t.co/pdEpSGqSUk

[Connecticut AFL-CIO @ConnAFLCIO]

Today is May Day, or International Workers' Day, the day that commemorates the struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement.

This year, it's an opportunity to stand up to federal attacks on workers' rights & demand CT do more to protect working people in our state.

Happy May Day/International Workers Day from the streets of Los Angeles!! #OneStruggle #OneFight #WorkersUnite #SolidarityForever #SiSePuede

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

1/3 On #MayDay, I joined @VTLabor and union siblings across Vermont to send one clear message: when billionaires try to divide us, we organize harder. The labor movement is alive and united in the Green Mountain State.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

At its core, #MayDay is about solidarity.

Workers around the globe are taking action this International Workers’ Day to stand up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms, and America’s unions are standing with them in solidarity.
