ICYMI: Unions are having a moment this cycle!
3+ dozen House/Senate nominees have backgrounds as union members/organizers and they’re winning against longtime incumbents.
“These candidates are at long last returning the levers of power to the people."

Oluchi Okananwa, the star guard for the University of Maryland basketball team, and I take your questions about the Protect College Sports Act and how it sets back players’ rights by decades.
NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson will appear on ESPN’s 6 pm ET SportsCenter tomorrow (Tues) to talk about his concerns w the Protect College Sports Act.
This comes after the NAACP posted on X asking for him to appear on College GameDay after Ted Cruz was on to lobby for the bill.
The Protect College Sports Act is a union-busting bill to protect the NCAA and the powerful sports conferences. The athletes who didn't write this bill are the ones being forced paying the price.
Make sure to let folks know, @espn. Because as your fans know, Ted Cruz sucks.
College sports weren't in a state of emergency when football and basketball coaches became their states' highest earning public employees and got many millions in buyouts not to coach.
It only became a problem when the workers who generate the billions in profit got paid too.

The American Dream is feeling out of reach for working families across the country this Labor Day.
Unions have record-high support, and right now, working people trust the labor movement to bring the American Dream closer to reality again. @STRedmond https://t.co/UQUX5LYnh7
Congratulations to AFL-CIO President @LizShuler on being included on @TIME’s list of the TIME100 AI of 2026!
Labor has been here for every transformation of our economy, and we’ll be here to make sure this economy works for all of us, not just big tech. https://t.co/fG0dXmyM7u
Dolly Parton wasn´t just a working class heroine and a talented artist, she was also a cultural Ambassador that built cultural bridges between Cuba and the US.
The great Cuban dancer and director Litz Alfonso presented her work "Cuba Vivra" in Dollywood, Tenessee in the year 2019, and appreciated every effort by Dolly to make this cultural exchange happen.
We released our new Executive Paywatch report, and surprise surprise, corporate greed is out of control.
Last year, S&P 500 CEOs gave themselves a 21% raise and now make 312x what median workers do. Meanwhile, workers are struggling to make ends meet.

CEOs now make 312X more than the workers who run their companies.
That’s the math in @aflcio’s new Paywatch report.
Families skip meals for rent while CEOs cash record paychecks.
That’s corporate greed — & why workers are organizing for a fair share.

🚨WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @ProPublica’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way.
Here are some of our big wins👇
Tonight, President Trump pushed years-old, thoroughly debunked, alarmingly dangerous conspiracy theories in an effort to undermine our elections. The purpose is clear: divide, scare and intimidate working people to weaken our democracy. https://t.co/0Jya7Cl61M
President Trump signed the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” into law one year ago, throwing millions off their health care and food assistance and cutting health care jobs so the rich could cash in.
Workers will hear about the damage caused by this law.

We join the entire labor movement in mourning the loss of @NashvilleCLC President Vonda McDaniel, a trailblazer and true champion of working people.

NEW: The Park at 14th will pay $243,350 to harmed workers and DC.
We uncovered evidence it denied paid sick leave to 200+ workers, misclassified some as independent contractors, and retaliated against certain workers who raised concerns.
Now, workers will get what they earned.
