These issues have been piling up for months to years! To echo Jordan Adams, "When we can fill these positions with qualified workers, we can’t hold on to them if the state doesn’t pay them.” It's time to recruit and retain ALASKANS working for Alaska, in good union jobs💪

[Pride At Work - Alaska @prideatworkak]

@Yakataga1 In this case it doesn’t matter what those out of state individuals are making. Alaska paying over $40 an hour to get out of state help with the workload. The state could pay their employees more and avoid this contracted work altogether.

[Alaska AFL-CIO @AKAFLCIO]

The state is "struggling" to recruit workers in its payroll division, yet it's paying nearly double the hourly wage to out-of-state contract workers. #1u #akleg

How about this: PAY 👏 ALASKANS 👏 HIGHER 👏 WAGES 👏

[Alaska AFL-CIO @AKAFLCIO]

Recently, a form letter circulated by the leadership of @southeast_ak_cc doubled down on the organization’s anti-union behavior and demonstrated their lack of knowledge on how unions work. #UnionBusting

President Joelle Hall sets the record straight. 👇

President Joelle Hall got the opportunity to talk with U.S. Transportation @SecretaryPete about infrastructure and workforce in the 49th state.

An exciting moment to thank the Biden Administration for its historic investments in Alaska's infrastructure! #1u #UnionStrong

[Alaska AFL-CIO @AKAFLCIO]

The Biden–Harris administration has once again delivered for working people by ensuring construction workers on federal and federally assisted projects receive the pay they deserve.✊ #1u #UnionStrong
