“Technology is not a divine act.” –

Big Tech shouldn't be writing the rules for the future of work. We need guardrails to ensure technology serves working people. @saritasgupta#WorkersFirstAI#aflcio26
There is no worker or industry that AI and new tech don’t or won’t touch. Every job is now a technology job.
At the Workers First AI Summit, working people came together to chart a path forward for an AI future that respects workers’ rights and protects our jobs and freedoms.
"Workers across the economy are being subjected to invasive and dehumanizing monitoring." @AFLCIOTech Executive Director Lauren McFerran on how Burger King’s new AI headset is part of a trend toward workplace surveillance: https://t.co/dAFLl3ktix #LaborRights
We're excited to welcome former NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran as the new Executive Director of the AFL-CIO Tech Institute, where she will lead efforts to develop worker-centered AI policy guardrails at a critical moment for the future of work. https://t.co/PcArtazYfA
Technology should make work better, not worse. That's why we helped develop the @AFLCIO’s Workers First Initiative on AI—principles to ensure AI benefits everyone, not just tech billionaires. Working people deserve a voice in the future of work: https://t.co/zA73rmqByw
@DanRadzikowski@deanbphillips Has been a long journey Dean and our office have taken, with a string a gradually more progressive co-sponsorships, along with with some grim stories from Minnesotans on the brink of bankruptcy that brought us here.

@douglasritz@deanbphillips@AndrewYang The bigger question is how can we afford NOT have a national health insurance program. We've found the $$$ to fund every war and keep the economy's lights on during a pandemic -- we can
Afford to make investments in our people.
@lxeagle17 I've watched Dean evolve on healthcare since 2019. He's sincere. It comes from a steady skepticism of the for-profit model, along with a drum-beat of increasingly progressive co-sponsorships over years. Anyone surprised hasn't followed his career before his presidential bid.
@PalimenoForGAD1@deanbphillips I've watched Dean evolve from an ACA supporting Dem to this moment. He's sincere in his position and resolute in the need for a national public health insurance program, and has been calling for one since the Spring, long before he was recruited to run for president.
Has been the capstone of my career working for Dean. Looking to bring the same curiosity and enthusiasm to my transition that we foster on the Dean team every day.
It’s been the most joyful experience of my life representing the most civically engaged community in the nation in Congress.
But it’s time to pass the torch, it’s time for change, and our best days are yet to come!

Was an honor working with @evandhollander, and witnessing @RepUnderwood, @RepJoeNeguse and @RepEscobar in action. Dean has always preached the need for a new generation of leaders in our politics. The collective brain power in that room is proof the concept is sound.
I have decided to step down from the DPCC & Democratic Caucus leadership. While politics & official work do not mix, it’s clear my convictions about 2024 are incongruent with the position of my colleagues & that was causing discomfort. I was not pressured or forced to resign. 1/2
