Have questions about the role of unions in our economy? Look no further than @USDOL’s new Worker Organizing Resource and Knowledge (WORK!) Center! It draws from research, data, and government documents with resources for workers, educators, students, and more!

America is stronger when everyone can bring their whole selves to the workplace.

Today, for the first time ever, @USDOL proudly raised the Pride flag at our headquarters to show solidarity with the LGBTQI+ community as we continue to build a stronger, more inclusive economy.

[Alex Hertel-Fernandez @awh]

This is such great news for @USDOL and the Administration! So excited to be working with @joelle_gamble in her new role.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

A new national study shows unionized nursing homes had 10.8% less resident COVID-19 deaths & 6.8% less worker infections than non-union facilities last year.

Unsafe workplaces affect everyone.

All care workers deserve the life-saving power of a union! https://t.co/oxf4AaWWOR

[Alex Hertel-Fernandez @awh]

It’s great to see the @USDOL job quality measurement collaboration with philanthropy, researchers, business, and workforce leaders in the NYT! Better survey, administrative, and private-sector data on job quality will help all of us!

What makes a job a good job? And how can the gov't measure this? @FamiliesWorkers is working with @USDOL to help answer this question. Here's a blog post on the collaboration. It has been great to be part of these conversations so far. https://t.co/UlLkLQuW2x
