A recent @KRC_PA study shows that increasing the minimum wage to $15 could benefit 1.34 million workers & lead to a $5 billion increase in yearly wages across Pennsylvania. That's real money for groceries, bills, & the little things that add up to a decent quality of life.

As you get ready to eat some wings and watch the #superbowl today, know you're watching a #unionmade event. From the players on the field to the workers who built the stadium, even the Gatorade getting dumped on someone's head, unions have a hand in it all!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

The workers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas - our #SuperBowl host this weekend - need a union.

This morning, the @NFLPA is joining @unitehere @Culinary226 for a press conference to send a clear message: One job should be enough, and these need to be good, UNION jobs!
