In this economy, the rich and powerful are getting even richer, while working people scrape for crumbs as prices skyrocket on everything.

A union contract is how we take back our power in this economy. Join the movement:

Making voting harder hurts shift workers, people working long hours and anyone who can't afford to spend hours waiting in line. We should be making it easier, not harder, for eligible voters to participate in our democracy.

Parents of disabled children are often forced to navigate gaps in health care, child care & education on their own.

Under a federal Republican trifecta, @byreginamahone argues that reproductive & disability justice movements must build a united front.

For months, activists with #ICEoutofNJ, which includes the immigrant rights group @CosechaMovement, @PaxChristiUSA, and @NewLabor, have been protesting outside privately owned detention center, Delaney Hall, where immigrants are jailed without due process.https://t.co/GrFsJPOQeB

President Trump's executive order to replace federal workers with loyalists betrays a foundational American value: that our government works for the people, not for a political agenda.

We will keep standing in the way of this attack on federal workers. https://t.co/Q4e95HfPU8

.@rweingarten and @FlyingWithSara released the following statement:
“Our response to the Great American AI Act is simple: Hard no. This bill is a giveaway to the AI industry and a handful of trillion-dollar companies, at the expense of American workers." https://t.co/VmqhsEf1sO

“We won’t be pushed around.”

Workers at a seafood processing center say they were extorted, retaliated against, and treated as disposable.

Now they’re fighting back with a class action lawsuit, NLRB charges, and public pressure for reinstatement.

Voting rights are workers’ rights, and the Supreme Court’s ruling to strip Black and Latino voters of their say in representation is an attack on us all.

Oh we know! What is “American Federation of Labor?”

Thank you to Jeopardy!, which had an entire category last night about union history. The AFL and CIO unified in 1955 to build even more worker power across the country, and we’ve never looked back since ✊

California has identified at least 536 cases of silicosis among stoneworkers, and 29 deaths. The illness is linked to engineered stone, a popular countertop material that can contain more than 90% silica.

@KelaYub reports.

A strike is not just a symbolic protest. It works because we withhold something that the employer needs: production, profits, and above all, control over us.

Our guide to striking breaks down how to plan, build, and sustain a powerful strike.

“The billionaire class and the president they have purchased are running a playbook the Bund would have recognized: crush workers, dismantle democracy…”

After the @UAW’s Stand-Up Strike won major gains from the Big Three, Shawn Fain called on unions across the country to align contracts for May Day, May 1, 2028.

The goal: building enough collective power to win universal healthcare & more.

"The UAW president said workers must have a say in how AI is implemented on the factory floor. And he has long pushed for a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay, a demand the UAW is likely to push in upcoming contract negotiations as AI filters through manufacturing plants."

“The answer to injustice is action, not compliance.”

This May Day, labor and community groups across the country organized under the banner of #MayDayStrong to defend workers’ rights, immigrant protections, free speech and democracy.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos can try to control the system, but they will never replicate the creativity and resilience of workers. Ahead of the Met Gala, @SEIU, America’s unions and workers gathered in NYC for the Ball Without Billionaires to declare proudly that labor is art!

[In These Times @inthesetimesmag]

The country that gave May Day to the world has spent the last century forgetting how to use it.

But that muscle is being rebuilt, writes Maya Ragsdale, through disciplined collective action, long-term organizing & solidarity.
